Samsung is gearing up to launch its much-anticipated Galaxy S25 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025. Ahead of its release, a new report has emerged suggesting that the flagship model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, could include a car crash detection feature similar to those offered on the latest Apple and Google smartphones. This feature will operate via a virtual composite sensor, providing users with the utmost safety.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to come with crash detection: Key details

According to a new report by Android Authority, leaked files of the S25 Ultra have confirmed the presence of a composite sensor, which would analyze and combine data from various sensors, including an accelerometer and GPS, to detect if the user has been involved in a car crash.

This safety feature, which has been available on Pixel and Apple smartphones for some time, is designed to automatically detect if you've been in a car accident and alert emergency services. Although the feature is also available for the latest Galaxy smartphones with the One UI 7 update, the company hasn’t enabled this feature on any device, neither for its local market nor the global market.

Moreover, it will use a composite sensor, meaning it will utilize data from multiple sensors on the device to provide a more accurate assessment of a potential accident. On pIxel smartphones, the feature uses the motion sensor and nearby sounds if any crash has occurred.
