Samsung Nears Wide-Ranging Deal With Perplexity for AI Features
(Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co. is nearing a wide-ranging deal to invest in Perplexity AI Inc. and put search technology from the artificial intelligence startup at the forefront of the South Korean company's devices. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months The two companies are in talks to preload Perplexity's app and assistant on upcoming Samsung devices and integrate the startup's search features into the Samsung web browser, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The firms have also discussed weaving Perplexity's technology into Samsung's Bixby virtual assistant, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Samsung is planning to announce the Perplexity integrations as early as this year, the people said, with the goal of including the service as a default assistant option in the Galaxy S26 phone line that's slated to launch in the first half of 2026. However, the specific details haven't been finalized and could still change. The tech giant is also expected to be one of the biggest investors in a new round of funding for Perplexity, the people said. The startup is in advanced discussions to raise $500 million at a $14 billion valuation, Bloomberg News has reported. The broad tie-up may help Samsung reduce its reliance on Alphabet Inc.'s Google and pave the way for it to work with a mix of AI developers, similar to Apple Inc.'s strategy for its devices and services. For Perplexity, the arrangement would mark its biggest mobile partnership to date and follows a recent integration deal with Motorola. Representatives for Samsung and Perplexity declined to comment. The two companies entered discussions about a partnership earlier this year, Bloomberg News reported in April. In recent weeks, the two sides met in South Korea, leading to them closing in on an agreement, the people said. Samsung and Perplexity have also discussed building an AI-infused operating system and an AI agents app that can tap into functionality from Perplexity and a range of other AI assistants, the people said. Apple has also shown interest in working with Perplexity. The iPhone maker has discussed using Perplexity as an alternative to Google Search as well as a substitute for ChatGPT integration in the Siri voice assistant, Bloomberg News has reported. 'We've been pretty impressed with what Perplexity has done, so we've started some discussions with them about what they're doing,' Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services, said during recent testimony at a Google antitrust trial. It's unclear how Perplexity's relationship with Samsung, one of Apple's fiercest rivals, would affect that. --With assistance from Shirin Ghaffary and Yoolim Lee.

Galaxy S25 Edge bend test: Tough … or fragile?
Samsung's recently released Galaxy S25 Edge is thin. Very thin. In fact, with a thickness of just 5.8mm, it's the slimmest Galaxy S series smartphone to date. The handset's leanness had popular tech YouTuber Zack Nelson — he of JerryRigEverything — wondering: 'Is it going to turn into a Flip 6 if I put it into my back pocket?' Nelson's phone durability test famously involves lots of scraping and scratching on a phone's display and frame. A naked flame is also deployed to see how the screen stands up against extreme heat. And then, at the end, he bends the phone using his bare hands to see … well … if it manages to stay intact, or, in the case of some of the handsets he's tested, if it snaps in two. 'My understanding of this physical world we live in makes me think that this should be a very easy snap, with some glorious carnage and sparks and battery juice seeping out of the cracks of our newly obliterated S25 Edge,' Nelson says as begins applying pressure to the phone's back panel. And, impressively, it remains intact. When he bends it from the front, however, you can see the back panel slightly separating from the frame, at a point just above the power button. But that's it. The Galaxy S25 Edge stays in one piece and continues to function in the usual way. 'The Galaxy S25 will not bend or break even under very extreme circumstances,' Nelson concludes. In an upcoming video, he's going to look under the hood to find out precisely how Samsung constructed the phone to make it so strong. Now that the Galaxy S25 Edge has been shown to have a sturdy build, attention will switch to Apple's rumored rival handset, the iPhone Air, which should drop this fall. No doubt Apple engineers have been bending the Air every which way to test its structural integrity. After all, they desperately want it to avoid a wince-inducing disintegration in Nelson's, or anyone else's, durability test.
