Perplexity said on March 27, 2026 that its APIs now power Samsung's Browsing Assist inside Samsung Browser on Galaxy Android and Windows. Perplexity says the rollout reaches more than 1 billion Samsung devices through a custom endpoint and single-tenant cluster with zero data retention, while Samsung describes a browser assistant that understands page context, manages tabs, searches history, and bridges mobile-to-PC browsing in the US and South Korea.

Samsung says it will transition global manufacturing into AI-Driven Factories by 2030. The roadmap combines digital twin simulations, AI agents, and in-factory companion robots to optimize production site by site.

Soaring AI data center demand for DRAM and HBM chips is driving a global memory shortage that will push the average smartphone price 14% higher to an all-time record of $523, while eliminating sub-$100 handsets entirely.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series on February 25, featuring Google Gemini's agentic AI that can autonomously operate third-party apps like Uber on a user's behalf — the first smartphone to offer true multi-step AI task execution.

Perplexity announced on February 26, 2026 that Samsung will ship Galaxy S26 devices with Perplexity integrated at the system level. The company also says the assistant will support a dedicated wake phrase, “Hey Plex.”
