Samsung appears poised to expand its Galaxy AI capabilities with a new video summarization feature in its upcoming One UI 8 software update. This development represents part of a growing trend among tech giants to apply AI tools to multimedia content, potentially transforming how users consume video across their devices. By enabling on-device video summarization for any media, Samsung could differentiate its offering from more limited implementations like YouTube‘s existing feature.
The big picture: One UI 8 may introduce a Galaxy AI tool that can summarize any video played on Samsung devices, not just content from specific platforms.
- The feature works by analyzing both visual elements and speech in videos to generate concise explanations and key points.
- According to reporting from SammyGuru, the tool appears to function similarly to YouTube’s existing summary feature but with broader application across different video sources.
How it works: The AI summary feature activates while videos are playing and presents users with a generated overview alongside productivity options.
- The tool generates text summaries based on content detected in the video, offering both explanations and key points.
- Users will have options to copy the summary text or translate it, though sharing functionality appears absent in current implementations.
Early impressions: Initial testing reported by SammyGuru suggests the feature performs well, delivering accurate information based on video content.
- Samsung’s AI models are described as “powerful” and competitive with other major AI developments in the market.
- The streamlined implementation could provide advantages over Google’s Gemini Live, which requires screen sharing to deliver similar functionality.
Availability timeline: The video summary feature remains experimental and may not be released until One UI 8 rolls out.
- The feature would be available on Galaxy S series phones alongside Samsung’s existing Galaxy AI suite.
- Based on Samsung’s previous update schedule, One UI 8 could still be “quite a ways away” from public release.
Worth noting: As an experimental feature in early development, there’s no guarantee the video summarization tool will appear in the final One UI 8 release.
