Galaxy AI is a suite of artificial intelligence-powered features designed to enhance the user experience on Samsung Galaxy devices. Developed by Samsung, it integrates into various native apps and functions to streamline daily tasks. Galaxy AI is not a voice assistant but rather a collection of smart tools that work in the background to make the user's interactions with their devices more intuitive and efficient. These features leverage both on-device and cloud-based AI to provide helpful assistance without being intrusive.
Key features of Galaxy AI include; Photo Assist, which provides tools for editing and improving photos; Live Translate, which translates conversations in real-time; and Note Assist, which summarizes and organizes notes. Other features include; Browsing Assist, which summarizes long articles; and Circle to Search, which allows users to search for information by circling anything on the screen. Features like seamless actions across apps, multimodal voice search, and personalized morning briefings are also included. Galaxy AI is available on a range of Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S22 series and newer models, as well as select Z Fold, Z Flip, and Tab series devices.
The cost of accessing Samsung Galaxy AI features is embedded within the overall pricing of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. For instance, models like the Galaxy S series or Note series, which boast enhanced AI functionalities, usually start around $700 and can go up to $1,200 depending on specifications and storage options. While it was initially speculated that Samsung might charge a subscription fee for Galaxy AI features after 2025, the company has since confirmed that the basic Galaxy AI features provided by Samsung will remain free. However, Samsung may introduce enhanced features or new services in the future that could be offered on a paid basis. The availability of Galaxy AI features depends on the device and OS version, with many features requiring One UI 6.1 or higher.
