Samsung May Incorporate Perplexity’s AI Tech in Its Phones

As a lead investor in Perplexity’s $500 million funding round at a $14 billion valuation, Samsung plans to preload Perplexity’s AI app on future smartphones, integrate its search capabilities into the default browser, and power Bixby with Perplexity’s conversational engine. The partnership is expected to debut later in 2025—potentially with the Galaxy S26 series in early 2026—signaling Samsung’s intent to diversify away from Google’s Gemini and strengthen its own AI ecosystem.
