Latest Galaxy AI news
Smartphone and chip manufacturers have been improving NPU (Neural Processing Unit) figures every year for the past few years, but the Galaxy S24 is the first phone to use all that hardware to leverage the power of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in clever and interesting ways.
The Galaxy S24 series is the first to ship with a series of new tools that are a part of the Galaxy AI suite. Interestingly enough, whether for marketing or other reasons, Samsung's AI, in this case, is an acronym for “Advanced Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.”
Make no mistake, however. These Galaxy AI tools and features leverage AI (Artificial Intelligence) and LLM (Large Language Model) techniques to improve the user experience in many ways, through tools that can really shape how we interact with our phones.
Galaxy AI features
- Generative Edit: Allows you to edit photos like never before, including moving, removing, and rotating objects and people in photos, and letting the AI generate new pixels for you.
- Generative Wallpaper: It's a tool that lets you create new and unique wallpapers by giving the AI a combination of keywords as guidelines.
- Live Translate Call: Lets you carry phone calls and communicate live with people in a different language. This AI tool can translate live for you and the person at the other end of the phone call.
- Interpreter: This allows you to carry conversations in-person with people who don't speak your language. The phone's screen is split in half, with each half providing a live translation of what you and the other person are saying.
- Samsung Keyboard AI assist / Chat Assist: Samsung also implemented AI into its keyboard, which now offers grammar checking for entire sentences, live translations on-the-fly in messaging apps, and even AI-powered tone suggestions.
- Circle to Search: Powered by Google, this feature lets you find out more about objects displayed on your phone's screen by just drawing a circle around them. Google then provides a quick search result containing any relevant information about the subject.
Other really great AI features are Summarize for Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes, which lets you summarize webpages, documents, and notes. There's also Auto-Formatting for Samsung Notes, and improved Transcripts for the Sound Recorder app, which can cleverly differentiate between different speakers. These Transcripts, too, can be summarized by Galaxy AI.
Supported devices
Galaxy AI debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, but Samsung intends for these new and clever features to power more Galaxy phones and tablets. Some older-than-2024 devices have received many of these Galaxy AI features, and many future Galaxy mobile products will ship with Galaxy AI.
It's also possible that more AI features and tools will be developed and added to the One UI user experience as time goes by.
