New Galaxy S25 AI Features: My Totally Honest Review (So Far!)

Hey everyone! So, the new Galaxy S25 is finally here, and let me tell you, I've been diving headfirst into all its AI features. I'm still getting my head around some of it, to be honest, but I wanted to share my initial thoughts and experiences – warts and all. This ain't some slick marketing spiel; it's a real-person's take on this thing.

The Camera: AI-Powered Photography, or Just Hype?

First off, let's talk cameras. Samsung's been promising AI-powered photography improvements for ages, and this time, I think they actually delivered something kinda special. The scene optimization is seriously impressive. I took a picture of my cat, Mr. Fluffernutter (don't judge the name!), lounging in a dimly lit room, and the detail was insane. Usually, those low-light shots are a blurry mess, but this time? Nailed it.

However, I did have one major fail. I tried using the AI object removal feature – you know, the one that's supposed to magically erase unwanted objects from your photos? Well, it decided my cat was an unwanted object and partially erased his fluffy tail! Lesson learned: always double-check the AI's work, especially when your furry best friend is involved.

Pro-Tip: Don't rely entirely on automatic settings. Learn to adjust the ISO and aperture manually for even better results, especially in challenging lighting conditions. This will seriously level up your photography game, no matter what phone you have.

Bixby Vision: Getting Smarter (Slowly)

Bixby Vision, Samsung's AI-powered visual search feature, has seen some upgrades too. I used it to identify a plant I saw on a hike – and it actually worked! I was shocked. Previously, Bixby would get things terribly wrong. This time, it correctly identified it as a common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). It even gave me some info on it. Amazing!

Now, it's not perfect. It still struggles with some images, and the information it provides isn't always totally accurate. It's a work in progress, for sure, but it's definitely getting better.

Pro-Tip: When using Bixby Vision, make sure the image is clear and well-lit. A blurry or poorly lit image will make it a lot harder for the AI to do its job properly.

Beyond the Camera: AI in Daily Use

The Galaxy S25 also boasts AI enhancements in other areas, which is pretty cool. The Smart Compose feature in the keyboard now predicts entire phrases, it's nuts! I'm finding myself using it more and more, and it has sped up my texting a ton. Seriously, I'm typing this whole article faster than ever, thanks to that feature.

The AI-powered call assistant is another neat feature. It can summarize calls and transcribe messages– a life saver when I'm juggling several things at once! Though, I'll admit I haven't deeply used this feature yet.

However, the battery life seems kinda wonky sometimes. Maybe it's the AI features using up more juice than usual? I'm still trying to figure that out.

My Overall Verdict?

The Galaxy S25's AI features are a mixed bag. Some are truly impressive, others need some work. But, the overall experience is definitely improved compared to previous models. It's clear Samsung is making strides in AI integration, which is great to see.

I'm going to continue exploring these features and will update this post with more detailed feedback soon. I'd also love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments section below. What has been your favorite AI feature so far? Let's chat!
