- Samsung is reportedly close to signing a deal with Perplexity to preload its services on Galaxy phones.
- The deal would see Perplexity’s app and assistant installed on Galaxy devices, while its tech could be integrated into Bixby.
- The companies could announce these integrations later this year before kicking things off on the Galaxy S26 series.
Samsung has a close partnership with Google and Microsoft when it comes to services on its Galaxy phones. Now, it sounds like a major AI player could be available out of the box on the Galaxy S26 series.
Bloomberg reports that Samsung is close to inking a deal with Perplexity to preload its services and technologies on Galaxy phones, citing sources familiar with the matter. The deal could also see Samsung become one of the AI firm’s biggest investors as part of a new round of funding.
