Samsung is really pushing hard to bring AI to its phones<\/a> and make the tools easily available for the general public. In the future, that might also include the ability to install your own AI-generated apps directly on your Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TechRadar<\/a>, Won-Joon Choi, Samsung’s head of mobile experience, said the company is exploring the possibility of bringing vibe coding to Galaxy phones. Choi noted that, “Right now we\u2019re limited to premade tools, but with vibe coding, users could adjust their favorite apps or make something customized to their needs.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For those unsure, vibe coding<\/a> is an AI feature that lets you hand off different coding tasks to artificial intelligence. Essentially, you tell the AI what sort of result you want, and it will be able to build a piece of software to facilitate it. All without you needing to learn how to write any of the code yourself.<\/p>\n

The ability to create and use apps yourself, to suit your own personal needs, would be the ultimate personalization tool for your phone.<\/p>\n

In the context of Android phones, which is a somewhat open system compared to the likes of iOS, vibe coding support could be something of a game-changer. The ability to create and use apps yourself, to suit your own personal needs, would be the ultimate personalization tool for your phone.<\/p>\n

Personal control<\/p>\n

No more having to rely on external developers that you can’t control or really have any influence over. We’ve seen time and again as apps get worse over time, whether it be controversial redesigns, lost features, or the fact that developers decided they want to lock everything behind a subscription service. Vibe coding your own apps should mean everything is exactly as you need it, and if things go wrong, you simply make a new one.<\/p>\n

Ok, maybe that’s a very overly-simplistic take on the whole process, but you get where I’m coming from. Personal control has always been one of the things that makes using an Android great, and while the likes of Google may seem to want to slowly strip that away<\/a>, vibe coding could give you more power than ever before.<\/p>\n

The only downside is that we don’t know if and when this might be coming to Galaxy phones. Choi confirmed that the company is looking into adding vibe coding, but that doesn’t mean it will be landing on the Samsung Galaxy S27<\/a> or even the Galaxy S28. So we’ll just have to wait and see how things pan out in the future.<\/p>\n
