Samsung gears up for a bold move, with a major partnership reportedly in the works to bring Perplexity AI to its Galaxy devices. According to Bloomberg, sources close to the matter say the partnership is nearly finalized and would see Perplexity’s AI-powered search tool deeply integrated into Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup.
From what we’ve gathered, Perplexitiy AI assistant and its dedicated app might come pre-loaded in the upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup. This could replace the default AI assistant in Samsung’s One UI. There’s also talk of integrating Perplexity into Samsung’s default internet browser.
The Perplexity search features will work with the Samsung Internet app, which will make the AI search much more convenient. And if that’s not enough, Perplexity could also be incorporated into Samsung’s in-house virtual Assistant “Bixby.”
Perplexity is working on a new AI model, and Samsung is reportedly the biggest investor in their new venture. The company is set to raise $500 million at a valuation of $14 billion, and this partnership could give Samsung a chance to reduce its dependence on Google’s AI services. Meanwhile, Samsung continues to expand its ecosystem, with updates and offerings like the latest Samsung price catalog drawing attention from buyers.
It’s the same strategy Apple used with its own Apple Intelligence in a move away from Google and the strings that come with it. Samsung’s collaboration with Perplexity could help the Galaxy S26 grab a more diverse portfolio of AI features.
This may be Perplexitiy’s biggest mobile partnership yet. Along with Samsung, this AI company has exciting ties with Motorola. People who buy Motorolla Edge 60 series or Razor devices get a free Perplexity Pro subscription for up to three months. This gives users access to advanced research tools and personal assistance through their AI app.
According to rumors, Samsung isn’t the only one seeking a partnership with Perplexity. Apple intends to do the same thing in the future, integrating Perplexity’s AI search engine with Siri as an alternative to ChatGPT or Google search. But these stand as mere speculations at this point. We might need some more credible sources to back these claims. Stay tuned for more news as the story continues to develop.
