Samsung is reportedly gearing up to introduce Car Crash Detection in its upcoming high-end models.
Most tech enthusiasts would know that this feature debuted first with the Google Pixel 4 and later found its way into Apple’s iPhone 14 series.
It would seem that it is now poised to enhance the safety arsenal of Samsung devices.
The buzz around this feature centers on the anticipated Galaxy S24 lineup, including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Mishaal Rahman, reliable tipster on matters of smartphone, has hinted at this development, suggesting that Samsung’s One UI 7.0 update, expected later this year, might be the launchpad for this feature.
Currently, the feature is absent in the One UI 6.1 version.
The mechanics of Car Crash Detection are fascinating.
Utilising a blend of smartphone sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and microphones, the system captures and analyzes movement and sound data.
This analysis aims to ascertain if the user has been in a vehicular accident.
In such an event, the phone prompts the user to either make an emergency call or confirm their safety.
Failing a response, the device automatically dials emergency services and shares the user’s location.
There’s evidence that Samsung’s devices possess the necessary hardware capabilities to support this function.
However, the challenge lies in fine-tuning the system to avoid false alarms and manage battery usage effectively.
Intriguingly, the presence of the “MoccaMobile” app in older One UI builds, coupled with the absence of the “Car Crash Detect Wakeup” sensor in these builds, is adding a bit of a hindrance to this whole narrative.
As of now, Samsung has not officially announced or marketed the Car Crash Detection feature for its upcoming Galaxy S24 or Z Fold series.
This leads to speculation that the feature might still be in the testing phase, slated for a future release.
The potential addition of Car Crash Detection in Samsung’s portfolio is indicative of more than just a technological advancement; it’s a stride towards ensuring user safety and peace of mind.

Samsung is planning to introduce a Car Crash Detection feature, which uses phone sensors to determine if the user is in a car accident and then prompts to call emergency services or confirm safety.
The upcoming Galaxy S24 lineup, including the Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5, are expected to be equipped with this new safety feature.
The Car Crash Detection feature is anticipated to be part of Samsung’s One UI 7.0 update, scheduled for release later this year.
The feature uses a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and microphones to analyze movement and sound data to detect car crashes and initiate emergency protocols.
Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication.
When you need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever. Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country.
It’s all possible with Live Translate2, two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private.
With Interpreter, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi.
For messages and other apps, Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a coworker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption.
AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages.
In the car, Android Auto5 will automatically summarize incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone your ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.
Organization also gets a big boost with Note Assist6in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview.
For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, Transcript Assist7 uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarize and even translate recordings.
Communication isn’t the only way Galaxy S24 series takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future.
Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks a milestone in the history of search as the first phone to debut intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search8 with Google.
To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to the worldwide leader of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture. With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results.
Seeing a beautiful landmark in the background of a friend’s social media post or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts can quickly become an accurate search to learn more – without having to leave that app.
And depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions. It’s that easy. And that epic.

The feature isn’t enabled by default. Users need to activate it manually in the phone’s settings. When enabled, the phone can detect potential accidents.
If it senses a crash, the phone will vibrate, sound an alarm at high volume, and automatically dial emergency services, sharing your location and crash data.
