After giving away free Pro subscriptions of Perplexity to millions of Galaxy phone users, Samsung is reportedly planning to roll out an updated version of its proprietary AI agent, Bixby, that will be powered by Perplexity for the Galaxy S26 —massively boosting its abilities.
Samsung leaker @chunvn8888, who has previously been accurate about the introduction of AI notification summaries in future Samsung phones, and the omission of a magnetic coil for Qi2 wireless charging in the Galaxy S25, posted on X that Bixby will be integrated with Perplexity.
Specifically, they noted that "basic" tasks will be handled by Samsung’s AI tools, while the more complex requests will be fulfilled by Perplexity. This is similar to how ChatGPT and Apple Intelligence work together.
