Did Samsung Do Enough To Separate From Google?

While many of the creator-focused additions to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra are direct responses to what Apple is doing with the iPhone (digital aperture adjustment and log video are prime examples), it is perhaps Google that Samsung should be most wary of. Because it relies so much on what Google develops when it comes to AI enhancements, it might be harder for Samsung to meaningfully stand out to Android users. The PetaPixel Podcast team discusses!
