Google's Gemini Losing Out To This AI Assistant On Samsung Phones? Here's What We Know
Last Updated:
Samsung Galaxy S26 launch next year could see the company ease its Google support and look at other AI partners.
Google and Samsung have worked extensively and continue with their focus this year as well. But reports suggest the South Korean brand could be eyeing other deals for its future products. Samsung is reportedly going to bring Perplexity AI as the default assistant with the Galaxy S26 series early next year.
The Bloomberg report cites sources from the company and claims Samsung could make Perplexity work across its apps like browsers, integrate with the Bixby assistant and more.
Trying Out Something New
Google's Gemini is becoming a major force in the market and competing with ChatGPT. But Perplexity is relying on deals like these to get itself a leg up over these giants and Samsung seems keen to pull through with this arrangement. The AI company has tried working with Motorola to some extent but reports say Google has a big say in how other chatbots reflect on phones that come with Android out of the box.
Gemini is available on a slew of phones in the market, and you even get the Gemini app pre-loaded before it hits the shelves. The company faces antitrust concerns regularly and these restrictions could bring further scrutiny from the regulators. The AI startup is clearly getting a lot of attention and even Apple is interested in getting the AI assistant working on iPhones in the near future.
Speaking of AI, you now have a web browser that can help you write code to create games or handle other tasks. Opera Neon is the latest in the glitzy market which is available on the waitlist for now but plans to charge its users a fee to try out the AI agent-enabled browser.

Oil Extends Drop as Saudi Arabia Seeks More Major Output Hikes
(Bloomberg) -- Oil extended declines on signs Saudi Arabia is seeking another big production increase at next month's OPEC meeting, in a bid for market share that could worsen a glut expected later this year. Brent traded below $65 a barrel after losing 1.2% in the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate was under $63. The kingdom wants the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies to continue to add at least 411,000 barrels a day of output in August and potentially September, according to people familiar with the matter. 'Once Saudi Arabia takes the lead in accelerating output increases, historical experience suggests that the market could face the risk of a price war, which would be highly unfavorable for oil prices,' said Gao Jian, an analyst at Qisheng Futures Co. In the US, crude inventories fell by 4.3 million barrels last week, the most since November, data from the Energy Information Administration showed. The drawdown was bigger than an earlier estimate by an industry body. Crude has fallen about 13% this year on fears trade wars will sap economic growth and energy demand. President Donald Trump has been calling for talks on tariffs with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, who seems to be reluctant to go ahead with high-level negotiations at this stage. Still, oil is up for the week on relief that OPEC didn't go ahead with a bigger-than-expected output increase for July, and some metrics are pointing to near-term strength in the market. The prompt spread for Brent has widened compared with a month ago in a bullish backwardation structure, signaling tight supply. To get Bloomberg's Energy Daily newsletter in your inbox, click here.

Asian stocks cautious ahead of Japan bond auction
