There is a clear career that most manufacturers want to lead: that of artificial intelligence. If there is a company that wanted to bet with all the meat on the grill for the IA that has been Samsung, with its concept Galaxy AI.
Although its software has a large basis, support in Gemini Nano It is the key to a good part of its functions. This Google model is open to the rest of the manufacturers, who have been implementing these functionalities to a greater or lesser extent.
Let’s tell you Who are leading the AI race on mobile phonesand how the scenario for the short term is drawn, since the evolution of each ROM is beginning to be relatively predictable.
Samsung, the absolute leader
Samsung It is the company that is best doing with AI, no matter how much. The functions of Galaxy AI start from the basic functions of Gemini Nano, but are complemented by Samsung’s interpretation to provide their devices with even more specific and exclusive functions.
Translation and transcription of calls in real time, interpreter mode, transcription of voice to text in APP recorder, Circle to Search Improved and adapted to the S-PEN, native translation in apps such as WhatsApp, and a generative engine engine using text prompts or on our own stroke.
In the same way, we have the promise that apps will interact with each other naturallystarting with basics like WhatsApp. This is a function in which none of its rivals is working, and that contributes even more value to the family.
Functions that arrived in the Galaxy S24 and that have been refined in the Galaxy S25 family. Today, no telephone has the potential at the generative level, with the translation functions so polished or the summary quality.
Google has the model, but not the tools
Google has a double -edged sword. It is the one who created the Nano model that feeds the AI of most Android phones, but has been implementing the apps so long, than There are functions that we don’t even understand how AI (although they are). For practical purposes, this is even positive, and makes him take second place.
Google is a leader in elimination of objects through Google photos, it makes it great transcribing voice to text, it is capable of Reimagine What has happened in our photographs, and has a fairly complete gemini integration.
The Pixel continue to grant the cleanest experience, and this is related to AI: using a Google mobile is to use native functions to which we are already used to and, even if they are based on AI, we do not perceive it as something external or novel. It is simply our pixel functioning as it should.
Apple arrives halfway, but it arrives
Apple Intelligence already works in Spainthrough beta for iOS developers 18.4. It is currently one of the few companies that its software has in Beta: the rest has been stably. Despite this, and although its operation has a lot of margin of improvement, there are some characteristics that Apple shine in front of some of its rivals. And that does not speak precisely well about the rest of the functions that are being implemented in Android.
The key is that their rivals are based on Gemini as an assistant. An assistant who, for the moment, cannot do too many things. Apple has integrated chatgpt in Siriand this is a fusion that we had not seen to date. I have to say that, over the days, the experience is being increasingly positive, even if it remains quite green. In fact, Apple itself has admitted that He is not ready to implement the new Siri in his AIpointing out that until 2026 we will not know her.
The rest of the functions are quite similar to what the Gemini model proposes: summaries, transcripts, elimination of objects and people … everything works quite behind what Samsung achieves and, for the moment, there is not a single function in which I shine above its rivals.
The key with Apple is that, at some point, Siri will be able to read everything on the screen to understand the request we are looking for.
What are Chinese manufacturers
Oppo, Xiaomi, honor and manufacturers as living have quite different interpretations. Within China, Oppo is leading the AI career. Oppo introduced its Oppo ai with reindeer 12and I have to admit that it works quite well. The elimination of objects is one of the best we have seen to date, it is able to transcribe voice to text and has useful functions, such as detecting people with closed eyes in photographs to “open them” by AI.
The rest of the functions are quite lower, such as the elimination of reflexes in photos, increased artificial sharpness, and generation of avatars by AI.
Xiaomi arrives quite late with Hyperaiimplementing the functions that we have already seen in the rest of its rivals, but with a fairly poor operation. So much so that it is not even good to eliminate people from the photos, something that Google photos for a few years.
Honor has Yoyo as AI agent, but in Spain he does not perform too many functions. In China, this agent now works with Deepseek and understands natural language, pointing ways. Knowing the state of the career in which they meet, Honor has invested More than 10,000 million dollars For his Honor agent aia commitment to the understanding of natural language within the native apps themselves. It is still in the development phase.
