This article explores the author's experience with Samsung's new Galaxy AI features, Now Bar, and Now Brief, and how they surprisingly led to an existential question about their ordinary life. While acknowledging the features' potential to organize busy lives, the author reflects on whether their uncomplicated routine makes them an outlier and if productivity equates to happiness.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 coverage Updated less than 46 seconds ago Table of Contents It has been five days since I started using the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and when I began I was very excited to see what the new Now Bar and Now Brief added to the Galaxy AI experience. While both features work, what happened when I started using them was a surprise, as it made me face an uncomfortable truth about my life.
Related Disappointingly, given its build-up, the Now Brief on my Galaxy S25 Ultra started out as a glorified weather app, collating some weather alerts and an hour-by-hour prediction of rainfall. The data is presented attractively and if you’re really interested in what the weather’s going to be, it’s somewhat helpful, but you’d get richer information by tapping the weather widget instead of the Now Brief widget.
The things I have going on in my personal life simply don’t need a calendar reminder. I don’t have any travel currently booked, I work from home so traffic doesn’t matter to me, and I don’t care about sports so any recent scores are irrelevant. Based on what the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s telling me, I sleep well and I should have enough energy for the day ahead.
It’s not me After hearing the way Samsung promoted the Now Brief as a new way to get things done, and then finding it to be underwhelming in reality, I felt that maybe I could be less occupied than everyone else. However, the uncomfortable truth I faced at that moment isn’t that Galaxy AI exposed my fairly set routine or a lackadaisical approach to life. It’s that I may have fallen into the trap of linking productivity and “busyness” with happiness and self-worth.
