Every smartphone maker is racing to find a way to put AI in your pocket, but no one has cracked the code yet. Samsung was an early supporter of Google's Gemini AI, which has largely supplanted its little-used Bixby assistant. However, a new report claims Samsung is planning a big AI shakeup by partnering with Perplexity on the Galaxy S26. Perplexity pitches itself as an AI-powered search service, running on the same generative AI technology behind ChatGPT, Gemini, and all the others. However, i

Joe Maring / Android Authority We’ve already seen AI creeping into Google Search, whether you liked it or not. AI Overviews started off as a frustrating product that marred the original Search experience with slow responses, inaccuracies, and occasional walls of unhelpful text. But it slowly got better, and for quick queries where you didn’t want to scroll through forums or click on five different links, it actually became useful. That’s what made me hopeful when, at I/O, Google announced a ful
