One UI 7 has finally been deployed in Spain after two days in which it was detained for a last minute failure. This update based on Android 15 brings many news and great changes, but there is one that has remained hidden so far: Samsung Auto. At the moment it will not be seen in these parts, but the name attracts a lot of attention as for two of its functions that would be afraid of Android Auto.
Samsung Auto is an interface for the car that Imitate Apple Carplay and Android Auto’s experience With a control panel that shows navigation, music playback and some widgets. In fact, it even allows you to set up to four apps in the sidebar located on the left for fast access.
And the peculiar of this experience is that it is in a final version that Use Bixby as the default voice assistant instead of Google Assistant. Just the other way around the current trend, since Gemini is taking over the Android Auto experience to leave Assistant out of play and not only in the car, but also on Android.
One of Samsung Auto’s most attractive functions is The rapid navigation system And that is interconnected with the ecosystem of mobile phones, tablet and watches of the Korean manufacturer: a direction is sought on the Galaxy mobile and takes the car and vice versa, it is searched from the Samsung Auto screen and when leaving the car will pass to the smartphone so that we can continue with the steps until we reach destination.
There is another important functionality in Samsung Auto, and it is Direction recognition That allows us to press on floating access that sends directions directly to the car screen, although it only works with compatible Chinese apps. And yes, here is the lime after having passed through the sand of Samsung Auto.
Samsung Auto
The free android
Samsung Auto, for the moment, remains exclusively in China according to Android Police from 9to5google With the finding made by a Reddit user in a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Samsung platform for the car connects to the vehicle using Baidu Carelife+ or ICCOA car link. Both support cable and wireless connections, but are only available in vehicles sold in China.
So the rest of the users will have to look from the distance to Samsung Auto and if at any time this platform will arrive that mimics Android Auto, although It connects much better With the mobile devices of the Korean manufacturer, so the experience would be more pleasant and unique.
The global expansion for the moment is impossible by relying on the BAIDU and ICCOA standards. What will serve as a source of inspiration to Android Auto with the functions of direction recognition and sending the destination to the car or mobile to continue the steps and thus reach the destination.
