In the last few months, one trend has become very clear — Samsung and Google are both focusing strongly on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India. This is not based on one single official announcement, but on multiple reports from The Economic Times, Times of India, and LiveMint that highlight a clear India-first pattern.
According to these reports:
Samsung is investing heavily in India-based AI features for the upcoming Galaxy S25 (source: ET).
By December 2025, Galaxy AI will reach over 400 million devices globally (source: TOI).
Samsung’s Bengaluru R&D center is developing a “voice-first AI phone” especially for Indian users (source: LiveMint).
While there is no official statement confirming India as the top priority, these signals together point to one strong conclusion — India is becoming a major focus area for Samsung and Google’s AI strategy.
Why is this shift important for India?
According to Samsung’s statement in ET, India is no longer just a smartphone manufacturing hub — it is turning into a center for AI feature innovation. This marks a big shift in how global tech companies view India — not just as a production market, but as a key research and innovation base.
LiveMint’s report mentioned “voice-first AI”, which makes perfect sense for the Indian market. Most Indian smartphone users prefer voice commands over typing, and they often use Hinglish or a mix of Hindi and English.
At the same time, Google’s Gemini AI is learning from regional Indian language data. Since Samsung’s Galaxy AI is powered by Google’s Gemini models, both companies are becoming deeply linked in the way they handle AI for India.
This means that as Google improves its understanding of Indian languages, Samsung’s AI phones will automatically become smarter for Indian users.
How will Indian users benefit?
If these India-focused AI developments continue, users will notice some real improvements in daily use:
More accurate Hindi + Hinglish voice recognition
Better understanding of Indian accents and pronunciation
Ability to handle regional and practical queries, like “UP me best phone 20,000 tak” directly via voice
AI-powered calls, live translation, and summarization that work better for Indian use cases
If Samsung develops the Galaxy S25 using India-based AI research, then its features will not just be global standards copied for India, but real solutions tailored for Indian conditions — local language, voice habits, and regional data preferences.
The 400 Million Device Rollout (Source: TOI)
The Times of India reported that by the end of 2025, Samsung’s Galaxy AI will reach over 400 million devices worldwide. That’s a huge number — and India, being the largest Android user base in Asia, will play a crucial role in this rollout.
From a business point of view, it makes perfect sense — optimizing AI for Indian users is not just about innovation, but also commercial logic. The more Indian users benefit, the higher the engagement and device value across the region.
Conclusion
There may not yet be an official press release saying:
> “India is our top AI development priority.”
But the signals are too strong to ignore. Three reliable reports together show:
Samsung is investing heavily in AI R&D in India
Google is improving its Gemini AI to understand Indian languages
India’s user base is too large and too unique to overlook
These factors clearly indicate that India is on its way to becoming a top-tier priority in global AI model development — possibly within the next 2–3 years.
