It is not clear why the new Google AI is not used here. Otherwise, Bixby is hidden in an app folder. Previously, Galaxy Assistant was activated by long pressing the power button, but on the Galaxy S25 series, it now opens Google’s Gemini.
Gemini is expanding the scope of its app
With Google’s now expanded AI Assistant, more complex queries can be processed across the boundaries of apps.

In Samsung’s opinion, users can say goodbye to using separate apps as the AI can now decide which app to use for desired tasks.
