5 essential tricks to try with Galaxy AI

When it comes to smartphones that truly redefine what’s possible, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra sets a new standard. Powered by Galaxy AI¹, it can transform everyday tasks into seamless, sometimes even magical experiences. Here are five lesser-known Galaxy AI tricks that could change the way you use your phone.

Hidden Feature 1: Generative Photo Editing

Ever taken a near-perfect photo, only to wish you could tweak a few things? Galaxy AI’s Generative Edit² lets you do exactly that. Move objects, fill in backgrounds, or even completely reimagine scenes with a few taps. Say goodbye to photobombers or dull skies: now you can add a vibrant sunset or extend a scenic beach without needing professional software.

How to find it: Open any photo in Gallery, tap ‘Edit,’ and look for the Generative Edit option.

Why it’s great: Ever snapped the perfect shot on holiday, only to realise your mate left their backpack in the corner? This will never be an issue again with Generative Edit.

TL;DR: Instantly elevate your photos with AI-driven generative edits, from minor fixes to total transformations.

Hidden Feature 2: Note Assist

Sifting through lecture notes or meeting minutes? Galaxy AI’s Note Assist³ helps you automatically organise, summarise, and even format your notes, neatly categorising bullet points or turning rough scribbles into polished summaries. Perfect for students, business professionals, and anyone who loves efficiency.

How to find it: Open Samsung Notes, create or import a document, and select ‘Assist’ from the toolbar.

Why it’s great: We’ve all had that “what did I even write here?” moment when looking back at old notes. Note Assist can turn chaotic scribbles into clear summaries.

TL;DR: Turn messy notes into clean, organised summaries at the tap of a button.

Hidden Feature 3: Real-Time Voice Translation

Forget language barriers. Galaxy AI Live Translate⁴ offers real-time, two-way voice translation during phone calls, making it easier than ever to connect across cultures. From booking a table abroad to negotiating with a global client, seamless communication is now a reality.

How to find it: Open the Phone app, go to Settings > Call Assist > Live Translate, and enable it.

Why it’s great: Live Translate can make you the star of the next family holiday by letting you upgrade your high school French to bilingual efficiency.

TL;DR: Talk in real time with people who speak different languages without a person translating.

Hidden Feature 4: Super resolution zoom with AI enhancement

Zoom in, and in, and in again without sacrificing image quality. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s enhanced resolution zoom capabilities, turbocharged by AI, delivers sharp, detailed photos even at 100x zoom. From stadium action to stunning lunar shots, it's perfect for capturing faraway moments.

How to find it: Open the Camera app and start zooming; Galaxy AI automatically enhances detail and clarity at high zoom levels.

Why it’s great: Imagine a world without blurry, pixelated images of your children scoring a goal or that bird of prey you saw on your last hiking trip. This epic zoom, enhanced with AI, can just do that. It’s a genuine “whoa, that actually worked” moment when you see the level of detail it pulls out.

TL;DR: Achieve ultra-clear, super-zoomed shots with AI-powered detail enhancement.

Hidden Feature 5: Instant Slow-mo for Any Video

You no longer need to plan for the perfect slow-motion shot of your dog catching a frisbee or your friend’s epic skateboard trick. Galaxy AI lets you apply slow-motion effects after the fact to any video.

How to find it: Play a video in Gallery, tap ‘Edit,’ and choose ‘Instant Slow-mo’⁵ to select the perfect moment.

Why it’s great: You never know when a moment’s going to be slo-mo worthy, like when your dog jumps into a lake unexpectedly or your mate attempts a backflip at the park. Being able to rewind and add slo-mo after you’ve captured will make these moments even more unforgettable.

TL;DR: Add Instant Slow-mo effects after shooting without the need for a special setup.

One last thing. If you have somehow missed the buzz throughout the internet tech sphere, Samsung has recently launched their latest foldable wonder – the Galaxy Z Fold7. With major hardware upgrades, such as a 200MP camera sensor, an impossibly svelte 4.2mm thin unfolded chassis, and stunning (2184 x 1968) 8” main display, there’s a lot to get excited about.
