Samsung plans to replace settings menu with advanced AI

A Samsung is about to revolutionize the way we interact with our smartphones, and the settings menu could be the first victim of this technological evolution.

In a bold move, the South Korean giant is developing artificial intelligence so advanced that they could make the need to manually navigate through device settings obsolete.

Goodbye settings menu?

According to a recent report from ETNewsSamsung is working on AI-powered features that would allow users to use their Galaxy smartphones without needing to access the traditional settings menu. This information suggests that the company is focused on improving user “touchpoints,” such as keyboard and camera, to proactively anticipate and meet consumer needs.

While specific details have not yet been revealed, we can glimpse the potential of this technology by looking at Samsung’s recent innovations in other areas. For example, the new One UI for TVs already features a smart preview of frequently accessed menu items when the settings button is pressed on the remote, eliminating the need to navigate complex submenus.

The key to this user experience revolution appears to be an improved version of the Bixby voice assistant. Samsung recently announced that it is developing a new iteration of Bixby powered by large-scale language models (LLMs). This updated version promises to understand complex voice commands and even interpret sentences that contain multiple instructions.

Super smart Bixby

Imagine a scenario where you can simply tell your phone exactly what you want to change in settings, and the device performs the task without you having to touch the screen or navigate menus. This vision is not far from reality, considering that early versions of Bixby have already demonstrated similar capabilities.

Additionally, AI could learn your smartphone usage habits over time, predicting your needs and adjusting settings automatically. This could include everything from screen brightness adjustments based on your location and time of day, to app performance optimizations based on your usage patterns.

Samsung has already taken significant steps in this direction with the launch of the Galaxy S24, its first smartphone with Galaxy AI. The AI ​​functionalities integrated into this device not only add fun elements but also significantly improve user productivity.

More AI features with One UI 7.0

With the expected release of One UI 7.0, we’re likely to see even more powerful AI features, including an improved version of Bixby. This update could allow users to access and control various phone functions without even touching the screen.

However, it’s important to note that while the idea of ​​completely eliminating the settings menu may seem radical, we’re more likely to see a gradual transition. Samsung will likely maintain manual options for those who prefer more direct control over their devices, while gradually introducing more AI-based functionality to simplify the user experience.
