In today's digital world, we're constantly navigating through vast amounts of information online, often on our smartphones where screen real estate is limited. As the web becomes increasingly complex, the need for intelligent tools to help us consume content efficiently has never been greater. That's where Browsing Assist comes as a powerful suite of features within Samsung Internet powered by Galaxy AI. It is designed to save time and make exploring the internet more convenient. This feature is available on select Galaxy S Series, Galaxy Z Series & Galaxy Tab S Series.
What is Browsing Assist? The Core Features
Browsing Assist is a comprehensive set of AI features built directly into the Samsung Internet browser. It transforms how you interact with web content through three primary features: Summarise, Translate and Read highlights aloud.
Using these powerful features is remarkably straightforward:
- Open the Samsung Internet app
- Navigate to any webpage
- Tap the Galaxy AI icon in the bottom toolbar
The Galaxy AI icon in the bottom toolbar gives access to a menu of helpful AI features
Summarise
This intelligent feature condenses lengthy articles into just the main points, presented as easy-to-read bullet points. When you encounter a webpage dense with information, Samsung Internet can generate a summary of the contents, allowing you to quickly grasp the essential information without reading everything. You can choose between Standard or Detailed summary styles depending on how much information you need.
How does it work?
- Tap the Galaxy AI icon
- Select Summarise
- Wait a few seconds as the AI condenses the content
- The text will be summarised in bullet points
- Optionally, adjust the summary style between “Standard” or “Detailed”
- You can also translate the summarized content if needed
Translate
The translation feature utilizes on-device AI to interpret the content of websites and social media platforms into your preferred language. Galaxy AI with Samsung Internet can translate entire web pages seamlessly, making content accessible regardless of language barriers.
This feature leverages sophisticated neural machine translation models. The system supports a wide range of languages, including Arabic, Chinese (Simplified, Cantonese), English (US, UK, India, Australia), French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish, Romanian, Swedish, and Dutch.
How does it work?
- Tap the Galaxy AI icon
- Select Translate
- Select your preferred language from the dropdown menu at the top
- Tap Translate
- You may be prompted to download required language packs if they're not already installed
Read highlights aloud
One of the newest additions to the Browsing Assist toolkit, this feature automatically identifies key headlines and read them out aloud when multiple article links are available on a screen displaying a list. If no such list is present, it summaries and reads the content of the current screen.
It comes with comprehensive playback controls that allow you to pause, play, rewind, or fast-forward the reading. You can also adjust the reading speed to suit your preference and even translate to the desired language.
How does it work?
- Tap the Galaxy AI icon
- Select Read highlights aloud
- The app will scan the page, identify key points, and begin reading them aloud
- Use the playback controls to manage the audio
- Tap the play speed icon to adjust reading speed
- If desired, tap the Translate icon to have translated content read aloud instead
Conclusion: The Future of Intelligent Browsing
Samsung's Browsing Assist, powered by Galaxy AI, represents a significant advancement in how we interact with web content on mobile devices. By integrating sophisticated AI capabilities directly into the Samsung Internet browser, we're making the browsing experience faster, more accessible, and substantially more convenient.
