Samsung Unveils One UI 7 with Galaxy S25 Series Devices

Samsung has officially introduced the One UI 7 operating system with the Galaxy S25 series devices in the unpacked event. The company has also introduced several new Galaxy AI features designed to enhance the overall user experience of devices. Alongside this, Samsung has shared details about which AI features will require an internet connection and which will run locally.

Samsung Galaxy AI Features That Require Internet

Samsung has confirmed that certain AI features will use the internet to process data. These features provide up-to-date information and therefore require an internet connection to connect with the main server. The following AI features require an internet connection:

• Gemini Live: This feature provides real-time information and updates.
• Drawing Assistant: This feature uses the internet to access a vast library of images and designs.
• Sticker generation: This feature uses the internet to access a vast library of stickers and designs.

Samsung Galaxy AI Features That Can Run Without Internet

Some AI features can run both online and offline, depending on the device processing unit. The following AI features can run without an internet connection:

• AI Select: This feature allows users to select specific AI features to use.

• Now Brief: This feature provides a brief summary of the current situation.
• Bar Tools: This feature provides a set of tools for users to access frequently used features.

However, Samsung has implemented updated Knox security to protect devices. Users can also switch off AI features that use cloud processing on their Galaxy S25 series devices.
