Samsung will double the number of mobile devices with Galaxy AI to around 800 million units this year, according to a Reuters report.

Speaking to the news agency, Samsung co‑chief executive TM Roh said AI will be applied to all products, functions and services as quickly as possible.

Galaxy AI is largely powered by Google’s Gemini, and Roh said the rollout would give Google an advantage over rivals.

Galaxy AI is Samsung’s umbrella term for its suite of AI features, which draw on both Google’s Gemini model and Samsung’s own Bixby for different tasks.

In 2025, the company rolled out Gemini‑backed AI features to around 400 million mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Roh told Reuters he expects AI adoption to continue accelerating, noting that awareness of the Galaxy AI brand rose to 80 per cent from about 30 per cent in just one year, based on Samsung surveys.

While search is the most‑used AI feature on phones, he added that users are increasingly turning to generative AI editing and image productivity tools, as well as translation and summary features.

Last month, Amazon was reportedly in talks to invest around $10 billion in OpenAI, according to Reuters.

Such a deal could lift the ChatGPT maker’s valuation to more than $500 billion and potentially strengthen ties between Amazon and OpenAI at a time when pressure is mounting on tech firms to compete in the AI race.

The talks follow OpenAI’s recent seven‑year, $38 billion partnership with Amazon Web Services to run and scale its AI workloads, marking a significant shift in the start‑up’s cloud strategy after a recent restructuring.

Under the agreement, OpenAI will gain immediate access to AWS infrastructure, including hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processors clustered via Amazon EC2 UltraServers, with capacity targeted to be fully deployed by the end of 2026 and room to expand in 2027 and beyond.
