SEOUL, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics plans to double ‌this year the number of its mobile devices with "Galaxy AI" features largely powered by Google's Gemini, its co-CEO said, which would give the U.S. firm ‌an edge over rivals as the global race in artificial intelligence heats up.

The South Korean company, which had rolled out Gemini-backed AI features to ‌about 400 million mobile products, including smartphones and tablets, by last year, plans to boost that figure to 800 million in 2026.
