Samsung is preparing to launch One UI 8, its next major software update based on Android 16. One of the most notable new features is an AI-powered tool that can summarize any online video you watch in the Samsung Internet browser. This tool is part of Samsung's Galaxy AI suite and is designed to help you quickly understand the main points of videos without watching them in full.

The AI video summarization tool works by analyzing the visuals, speech, and captions in a video. It then generates a summary, presenting the key points in a neatly organized list. This summary appears in a window within the browser, and you have the option to copy or translate the summary for further use. The feature is similar to AI summaries already available on platforms like YouTube, but Samsung's version aims to work across a wider range of online videos, not just those on a single platform.

Currently, the tool is available as a debug setting in test builds of Samsung Internet. Early reports suggest that it can summarize the title, description, and related content of videos, with plans to expand its capabilities to cover long-form content as well. The tool offers two types of summaries: Standard and Detailed, though only the Standard option is functional at this stage. Users can enable the feature through a hidden debug menu, but it is expected to become more widely accessible once One UI 8 is officially released.

The AI summarization feature is expected to debut with the Galaxy S25 series and may roll out to other Samsung devices as part of the One UI 8 update. This update will also bring other improvements, such as visual enhancements and smoother navigation gestures. While the video summarization tool is still experimental, it represents Samsung's ongoing efforts to integrate AI into everyday smartphone tasks, making it easier for users to consume and interact with online content.
