Samsung just made its first major move into desktop browsing with Samsung Internet for PC, launching today as a beta exclusively for Windows users in the US and Korea. The expansion brings Galaxy AI-powered features like webpage summarization and cross-device sync to desktops, positioning Samsung to challenge Chrome and Edge in the browser wars while advancing its ambient AI ecosystem vision.

On Windows, Samsung Internet is more focused on AI than ever before. The company says its new desktop browser includes “early Galaxy AI capabilities” like Browsing Assist, which delivers translation and summarization tools to whatever page you’re currently visiting. That’s a much quieter focus on AI than, say, OpenAI’s Atlas browser on Mac, but don’t expect it to stay that way forever. Samsung says this browser is “built for the future of ambient AI,” and while that undoubtedly sounds like a boring collection of buzzwords, it certainly points to a similar goal as other AI-centric web browsers.

This development suggests a more robust launch than the 2023 attempt. The previous version was basic and quietly withdrawn. The new app will likely debut with a major software update like One UI 8.5.

AI-Powered Features Expected in New Release

The upcoming browser will likely include advanced AI tools. These may consist of web page summarization and enhanced AI search. Seamless data synchronization with the mobile version is also anticipated.

This strategy aligns with Samsung’s broader push into artificial intelligence. It enhances the ecosystem for users of Galaxy phones and the new XR headset. A cohesive experience across devices is the ultimate goal.

The return of the Samsung Internet browser to Windows represents a significant software expansion. Its integration of AI could make it a compelling choice for users invested in the Samsung ecosystem. This development marks an exciting new chapter for the company’s web platform.
