Is hybrid AI the smartphone wave of the future? Samsung and Apple think so

Samsung 's new Galaxy S25 has unusual approach to generative AI .

While Google 's Gemini , Samsung 's own Bixby assistant is still very much present.

It handles tasks Gemini can't, but only because Apple and Google are the gatekeepers.

The scope of AI is only going to become more unwieldy, even in the hands of megacorporations.

Without legal guardrails, many companies inevitably give in to the temptation of total control.

No one wants to be in someone else's pocket, especially a rival.

Google pays Apple to remain the default search option in Safari -- but Google would drop those payments if Pixels sold as well as iPhones .

If the Gemini/Bixby hybrid works smoothly, I'd expect to see it come to other Samsung devices.
