Samsung’s June Update Brings Galaxy S26 AI to the Galaxy S25

What the Samsung June Update Means for Galaxy S25 Owners

Samsung’s June update for the Galaxy S25 is a software release that delivers two of the Galaxy S26’s headline AI capabilities—notification prioritisation and file summaries—before the next major One UI version, giving last year’s flagship near-feature parity with newer hardware through an over-the-air patch. The update, described as unusually large for a routine maintenance release, goes beyond the typical Android security fixes to include what carriers list as “AI enhancements” for the Galaxy S25 series, Fold 7, and Flip 7. These new Galaxy S25 AI features were originally introduced with the Galaxy S26 as part of One UI 8.5 and were expected to stay exclusive for at least a few months. Instead, Samsung is pushing them out ahead of the wider One UI 9 features rollout, reducing the wait for users who want advanced Galaxy AI without upgrading their phone.

Galaxy S26 AI Features Now Backported to the Galaxy S25

The standout news in this release is the Galaxy S26 backport of two Galaxy AI tools: Prioritise Notifications and File Summaries. Prioritise Notifications uses on-device AI to push important alerts—like messages from key contacts or time‑sensitive apps—to the top of your shade while muting less useful noise. File Summaries scans documents stored locally on your phone and generates concise overviews, helping you review reports, notes, or PDFs without reading every page. Both debuted on the Galaxy S26 with One UI 8.5, and Samsung had hinted they would arrive later on older models rather than with the initial One UI rollout. According to Technobezz, this June Samsung update “brings two Galaxy AI features that debuted on the Galaxy S26 series” straight to Galaxy S25 owners, closing a feature gap that usually lasts until the next big firmware upgrade.

Why Samsung Is Bringing Galaxy S26 AI to the S25 Early

Backporting Galaxy S26 AI features to the Galaxy S25 ahead of One UI 9 fits Samsung’s push to emphasise useful AI, not one-off tricks. Prioritise Notifications and File Summaries are practical tools that make day‑to‑day use easier, so limiting them to the newest phones would undercut that message. Technobezz notes that Samsung is “still investing in software parity across generations, even after its flagship hardware has moved on.” At the same time, One UI 9 development is already underway on the Galaxy S26 series and is being prepared for the S25. Internal firmware sightings show the S25 is next in line for the One UI 9 beta, following a similar cadence to the S26’s beta schedule. This early Galaxy S26 backport lets S25 users enjoy core Galaxy S25 AI features now, while larger One UI 9 features arrive later.

How to Access the New Galaxy S25 AI Features

Once the Samsung June update is installed, Galaxy S25 users can access these new AI tools through familiar settings. To get the update, go to Settings > Software update > Download and install; June builds for the S25 family include versions like S931USQUACZF1, S936USQUACZF1, and S938USQUACZF1. After installation, look for Prioritise Notifications in the notifications or Galaxy AI sections of Settings, where you can enable filtering and choose how aggressively the phone sorts alerts. File Summaries appears in apps that open documents stored on your device, such as Samsung’s file manager or supported office apps, adding a summary option when viewing files. While the One UI 9 features—like the new QuickStar network speed indicator and the “Ongoing Chip” toggle for the Now Bar—will arrive later, this update already delivers meaningful Galaxy S25 AI features without waiting for next‑generation hardware.
