‘Galaxy has played huge role in advancing Android as a whole': Samsung's Sally Jeong on partnership with Google
has been a long-standing innovator in the smartphone industry, and this innovation hasn't been limited to hardware evolution as the company has also consistently improved the Android software experience, a process that has been instrumental in advancing the Google-owned operating system as a whole, a top executive from the South Korean company has stated.
Sally Hyesoon Jeong
, EVP and Head of Framework R&D, Mobile eXperience Business, Samsun, further emphasised that the collaborative nature of the partnership between these two tech giants is far more extensive than commonly understood.
'Back in 2011, we launched Galaxy Note 2. My first Android device, so this is very special to me. We launched multi-window on the Galaxy Note 2. It gave people a new way to use a large screen and become a standard for the full mobile industry,' she told The Times of India Tech soon after the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7.
Jeong explained how Android 12L brought convenient features for larger screens like taskbars and split screen layout in apps. She said that this collaboration didn't just benefit Galaxy users but also other Android makers and all Android users.

'I can say that the ideas that started with Galaxy have played a huge role in advancing Android as a whole. This has been possible thanks to our long-standing partnership with Google. By introducing new features on Galaxy first, we've been able to contribute to creating a better experience for all Android users,' she added.
'Samsung worked closely with Google for software on Galaxy Z Fold7'
One of the main highlights of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the deep integration of Google's
Gemini AI capabilities
, including Gemini Live, with OneUI 8.
When asked about the next phase of Samsung-Google partnership in the foldable space, especially when Google is gradually scaling up its own foldable and smartphone lineup, Jeong said that both the companies will continue to work to continuously expand the ecosystem.
'In 2019, we introduced the world's first foldable device with new software like three-way, multi-window, and flex mode to match. So these kinds of new form factors work well when the Android ecosystem grows with them. So that's why we've always worked closely with Google,' Jeong added.
'Today, I'm really happy to share that our new foldable device comes with
one UI 8
and Android 16 together,' she said.

Noting examples of Samsung-Google collaboration, Jeong said that the Now Bar, first shown on the Galaxy S25, was built together with Google. The feature started with Google Sports and Samsung apps, and now it's an official Android 16 feature so people can check live information more easily with richer applications like Uber and Lyft, globally.
'So, after years of work on large screens, we now have adaptive applications by default. This means Android is totally ready to look great on any screen,' Jeong said, adding that

Uttarakhand mulls reopening Nanda Devi for mountaineers after 42-year ban
Dehradun: Uttarakhand is considering reopening Nanda Devi, India's second-highest peak (7,816m) after the Kanchenjungha, for mountaineering expeditions, more than four decades after it was closed in 1983 due to environmental concerns and a Cold War-era nuclear surveillance operation. The proposal was discussed during a high-level meeting between officials of the tourism department and the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) in Dehradun this week. Tourism secretary Dhiraj Singh Garbyal said the proposal was "under active consideration". He told TOI, "During the meeting, the issue of reopening of Nanda Devi was discussed with the IMF authorities. We have sought a formal proposal from them and on getting it, we will actively take up the matter with other stakeholders. The IMF has been making efforts for the reopening of the peak, but now the state tourism department will also follow the matter. " The meeting also discussed opening four additional peaks for mountaineering: Baljuri (5,922m), Laspadhura (5,913m), Bhanolti (5,645m) in Bageshwar district, and Rudragaira (5,819m) in Uttarkashi. In addition, officials proposed keeping Gangotri National Park open between Oct and March to allow winter wildlife tourism, especially for snow leopard tracking, based on the Hemis National Park model in Ladakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buying a Luxury Villa in Dubai: Step-by-Step Guide Villa for sale in Dubai | Search Ads Learn More Undo IMF president Colonel Vijay Singh said he had submitted a formal letter to the state govt requesting the resumption of expeditions on Nanda Devi. He said reopening the peak could significantly boost adventure tourism in the state. Nanda Devi, situated in Chamoli district of Garhwal Himalayas, was closed ostensibly to protect its fragile ecosystem but many believe a contributing factor could also have been an aborted secret mission to the peak that has continued to be an intriguing mystery. In 1965, a joint operation by the CIA and India's Intelligence Bureau attempted to place a nuclear-powered surveillance device near the summit of Nanda Devi to monitor Chinese missile activity. The device, fuelled by around 5kg of plutonium-238, was abandoned during a snowstorm and could not be recovered in a follow-up mission in 1966. It remains lost in the glacier, and while no contamination has been officially confirmed, experts have long warned that the radioactive material could pose an environmental risk to the rivers fed by the mountain's ice. Attempts to reopen Nanda Devi have been made in the past but have remained inconclusive. In 2001, the Centre gave in-principle approval to the state govt to allow controlled eco-tourism in the inner sanctuary on a trial basis. However, the plan was dropped after objections from conservationists and the scientific community. A similar attempt in 2012 by the then-state govt to permit limited expeditions was also withdrawn after sustained pressure from environmental groups, who warned that the sanctuary's fragile terrain and unique biodiversity could not absorb commercial activity. Environmental groups have consistently flagged the risk of increased human interference in the area, saying the region has only gradually recovered since the 1983 ban. Any future proposal to reopen the peak will require not just state-level clearances, but approvals from national environmental authorities, forest agencies and ecological review committees. The last major ascent of Nanda Devi took place in 1976. Earlier summits include the historic 1936 British-American climb and India's second ascent in 1964 led by Col N Kumar. The sanctuary was declared a national park in 1982 and a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1988. The area supports over 1,000 species of flora and rare alpine fauna such as snow leopards, blue sheep and Himalayan musk deer, across altitudes ranging from 1,800m to 7,817m. Nanda Devi also holds religious significance. The Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, held once every 12 years, crosses alpine pastures like Bedni Bugyal and draws thousands of pilgrims. The 20-day-long yatra, in which pilgrims cover around 280km of the Himalayan terrain on foot, is scheduled to take place next year.
