Google's Gemini Losing Out To This AI Assistant On Samsung ...
Google and Samsung have been collaborating closely and are continuing their focus this year. However, recent reports suggest that Samsung might be exploring other partnerships for its upcoming products. It is rumored that Samsung is planning to introduce Perplexity AI as the default assistant with the Galaxy S26 series in the early part of next year. According to a report by Bloomberg, sources within the company indicate that Samsung is considering integrating Perplexity across its apps such as browsers, in conjunction with the Bixby assistant, and more.
Trying Out Something New
While Google's Gemini is gaining traction in the market and posing competition to ChatGPT, Perplexity is leveraging strategic partnerships like this to gain an edge over these industry giants. Samsung appears enthusiastic about moving forward with this collaboration. Although the AI company has dabbled in collaborations with Motorola to some extent, reports suggest that Google wields significant influence over the integration of other chatbots on Android-powered devices. Gemini is already accessible on a wide range of smartphones, often coming pre-installed on devices before they are even available for sale. The company frequently encounters antitrust challenges, and these regulations may invite further scrutiny from regulatory bodies. This AI startup is clearly attracting significant attention, with even Apple showing interest in incorporating the AI assistant into future iPhone models.
At the I/O 2025 event last month, Google demonstrated its commitment by introducing Gemini to new products, including cars, TVs, and smart glasses. With a strong presence in the market and notable partnerships, Gemini has established a significant lead over its competitors. Samsung, on the other hand, may be seeking a fresh start with a new direction and innovative concepts.
On a related note, there is a new web browser in town designed to assist users in coding for tasks like game development. Opera Neon, the latest offering in the cutting-edge browser market, is currently available by invitation only but is planning to introduce a subscription model for users interested in trying out this AI-powered browsing experience.
