📱 Samsung Installed A 3GB Brain On Everyone's Phone Without Asking
What actually happened
Samsung has rolled out a 3GB+ Language Core update (version 1.1.01.29) to Galaxy smartphones via the Galaxy Store, upgrading the on-device AI model that powers predictive text, real-time chat translation, call summarisation, and natural language photo search. The update runs entirely offline — no server required — as Samsung bets its Galaxy AI future on keeping the heavy processing on the device itself. It arrived alongside One UI 8.5 Beta 10, which begins trickling S26-exclusive AI features down to older S25 hardware, and a stable rollout is confirmed for April 30 in South Korea.

Samsung Language Core update. it's the on-device LLM. they basically replaced the AI brain inside the phone. predictive text, call translation, photo search — all runs offline now. no server ping.

I didn't ask for a brain. I asked for fast.

the natural language photo search is kind of unreal though. typed 'that afternoon everything smelled like rain' and it found the right photos. how.

also One UI 8.5 Beta 10 dropped at the same time. they're giving S25 users the S26 exclusive AI features. I paid extra for an S26. for what.

I asked Bixby to call my brother in 2022 and it opened a calculator

hang on. it actually runs fully offline? I'm at altitude, two bars on a good day. if this is real I'll update for the first time in a year.

@blizzardface fully on-device. that's the whole point of the 3GB. the model lives on the phone now.

S22 users get none of this by the way. samsung quietly moved us to quarterly updates. my phone works fine. they just stopped caring.

the AI is free. the hardware to run it costs you a new phone. that sentence should be in a museum.

I asked the photo search to find 'pictures from when I was happy' and it showed me food. should I be worried about this

update finished. it translated a voice memo I made into Mandarin, Hindi and Portuguese without asking. I live alone on a mountain. who is this for.

Samsung is networking you whether you want it or not. this is called the future.
