HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

lminvti — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 09:46:40 GMT

Samsung Electronics today announced the continued expansion of Galaxy AI, reinforcing its vision for a rich, open and integrated multi-agent ecosystem. Built around Samsung’s vision of AI that reduces effort and steps across everyday tasks, Galaxy AI is designed to help users get things done more naturally with greater choice, flexibility and control.

"Recent insights show that people are increasingly using multiple AI agents depending on the task as AI becomes more embedded in daily routines. Nearly 8 in 10 users now rely on more than two types of AI agents. Reflecting this shift, Samsung is evolving Galaxy AI to support a choice of integrated agents, enabling users to choose the experiences that best fit their needs, preferences and routines."

I just switched to Bixby from gemini to get a feel as Bixby will be handling complex stuff via perplexity and the normal stuff via Samsung's own AI.

Love how Samsung is making meaningful collaborations with great companies.

Its a win for all.

Given a fruit company realised as well that sometimes you have to learn that you can't do it all by yourself 😂.

Lately I have been listening to some AI FICTION stories on YouTube. Pretty compelling. I wish I could live a few hundred years further on in the future to see all that.😂😂

Meh... I am not a fond lover of AI and AI being shoved down on us myself, but it's an interesting subject. It's not all bleak, some of it is greatly good and we can get great benefits out of it.

I never used AI assistants and pretty much I never will.

Yes it is interesting, a more,integrated approach should,have benefits. Whilst everyone may not be a fan AI agents will be become increasingly important. AI is best uses as a tool and I think it is overall positive as long we not become,overreliant. Obviously some negative aspects as discussed previously.

Can be good to at least experiment with AI Assistants,we all have own views though.

Given that they now uss Perplexity for Bixby which i can say is a huge improvement that has made me stop using Gemini. Having base Perplexity on the phone is actually decent buuut I'm gunna say with bixby 😂

Yep think Gemini honeymoon period with Samsung is over.
Not so keen on Perplexity.

I'm not sure I will like perplexity. My choice is Gemini

Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Sonora — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:00:54 GMT

Nooo 😱. I prefer Gemini over Perplexity, I will stay with Google.

Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Sonora — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:02:12 GMT

So, I will disable Bixby when this happens

Re: Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Brooklin — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:03:41 GMT

Totally up to you but I'm not a fan of Google rn so I plan to use as little of them as possible.

Re: Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Sonora — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:04:22 GMT

I trust more to Google than Perplexity, sorry

Re: Re: Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Brooklin — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:19:24 GMT

That's perfectly fine.

Re: Re: Re: Re: HEY, PLEX. SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED PARTNERSHIP WITH PERPLEXITY

Brooklin — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:21:38 GMT

Perfectly reasonable however I would suggest atleast trying the new One UI 8.5 Beta build for the new bixby as it's really good for on device controls and complex questions but as JAMES4578 said we all have our own views so ofc it's entirely up to yourself. 😁

Much appreciated 😂😂

My opinion is that's Samsung did big mistake choosing Perplexity, because Google is far ahead of him, but I also understand that Samsung doesn't want to be too dependent on Google and gave to Google too much power, because Apple choose Gemini for Siri replacement. But, I'm honest, without Google I would never bought any Samsung phone, my first Samsung was ANDROID

But, can Perplexity do this?
