We all have different needs when it comes to our phones. For the most part, there are apps out there that solve our problems. But what if there was a very specific need you had that existing apps cannot fix? The good news is that in the future, Samsung could bring vibe coding to its Galaxy phones, giving users the ability to create custom solutions themselves.
Samsung interested in vibe coding for future phones
This is according to a recent interview with TechRadar, where Samsung’s head of mobile experience, Won-Joon Choi, hinted that vibe coding could be a feature in future devices. Choi was quoted as telling the publication, “Right now we’re limited to premade tools, but with vibe coding, users could adjust their favorite apps or make something customized to their needs. So vibe coding is very interesting and something we’re looking into.”
However, Choi doesn’t explicitly confirm that this is coming. He says that it’s something the company is “looking into,” meaning that there’s a chance it may never see the light of day. But we’re keeping our fingers crossed. It’s actually a pretty good idea that could allow users to use their phones in their own way.
These types of apps aren’t new
That being said, Samsung isn’t the first to consider vibe coding. For those unfamiliar, “vibe coding” refers to users using AI to write code for apps, websites, and more. Instead of learning programming languages from scratch, which can be complicated, these users use natural language prompts to tell AI what they want, and the AI model generates the code for them.
Like we said, this idea didn’t originate from Samsung. We’ve already seen other companies do something similar. This includes Nothing, which back in February launched its Playground platform. This allowed users to use vibe coding to create apps for their own phones. More recently, we also covered the launch of a new app called Gizmo.
Think of it like TikTok, except for mini apps, where users can vibe code apps within the app that users can scroll through and use, play with, and more.
But the question is, are vibe-coded apps necessarily “better” than human-made apps? For a quick fix or to test out an idea, it’s great. Obviously it’s a lot faster too. Imagine being able to crank out a fully functional app within a few hours, rather than a few weeks. However, AI-generated apps may lack structure. They might also contain coding loopholes that would allow hackers to exploit them. So that’s something to think about as well.
