What sets a smartphone apart from its competitors is the ability to thrive whatever the circumstances. Samsung’s Galaxy AI* – found in its Galaxy range of smartphones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra – does exactly that: with the ability to live translate dozens of languages on the fly, it will keep you informed whether you’re deep in the Brazilian rainforest or navigating the urban jungle of Tokyo’s Akihabara gaming district.
Galaxy AI can translate both text and speech, so can help no matter what you’re doing. It’s the interpreter that’s always with you, wherever you go, whatever you do.
Real-time voice translation helps you speak like a local
The language barrier is real. According to one study, 10 per cent of UK adults don’t travel overseas because they can’t speak the native language. That’s almost 5 million people whose horizons aren’t being broadened by the mind-expanding experience of foreign travel.
But Samsung Galaxy AI makes such fears a thing of the past. Its Interpreter** feature turns your trusty S25 into a portable interpreter that works in real-time, translating live whilst the other person speaks. And when it’s your turn to do the talking, it will translate your speech into the local language too. This makes ordering in restaurants while on holiday a breeze - and makes sure you don't end up with a plate of escargot instead of escalope (like I once did...).
Galaxy AI Live Translate*** is also super helpful. This two-way, real-time call translation is built into the Phone app, so no need for any third-party software. Live Translate is great for any multi-language comms over the phone, from booking a hotel reservation or train tickets, to business calls, to buying concert tickets or booking a table at that cool new restaurant someone told you about.
TL;DR: Galaxy AI Live Translate makes the Samsung Galaxy S25 one of the best phones for making calls across languages. Galaxy AI Interpreter also makes the S25 a handy phone for communicating on holiday.
Voice memo takes the work out of studying
We’ve all been there: your lecturer is talking a mile a minute. You’re trying so hard to keep up with your notes that you’re not concentrating on the substance of what’s being said. And you’re scribbling so fast that you can’t read most of what you’ve written. Good luck making sense of that later.
If that’s you, you’re not alone. One study showed that 55 per cent of undergraduates and 38 per cent of graduate students struggle to maintain focus in their classes.
But thankfully, there is another way. Samsung Galaxy AI’s Voice Recorder app features a Transcript Assist**** feature which will instantly convert your lecturer’s speech into text. No more scribbling – just sit back and focus on what they’re actually saying, safe in the knowledge you can review it all at your leisure later. It’s the smarter way to work.
TL;DR: The Voice Recorder app with Transcript Assist makes catching up on your studies much easier.
Text translation in camera mode makes deciphering a foreign language as easy as taking a photo
One thing that all travellers will agree on: you want to know what you’re eating. This isn’t just a matter of taste – sure, few of us like the idea of eating something we can’t identify, but for people with food allergies, it could be life-threatening. According to Safer Tourism, two in three people with allergies take extra precautions when travelling than those without. You can bet that knowing what they’re eating is high up on the list.
With Samsung Galaxy AI, finding out what’s on the menu is as simple as taking a photo. When the S25 camera detects text, it will give you the option to translate it into another language, meaning you can instantly overlay useful translations onto menus and more — no extra app required. So no more guessing what’s in the food you’re ordering.
It works with signs too, so you can find directions, follow instructions and make sure you’re obeying the rules to avoid any unfortunate misunderstandings when navigating another culture.
TL;DR: Translating text with the Samsung Galaxy S25 camera takes the stress out of travelling.
