At the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 17, 2024, Samsung released the Galaxy S24 series (S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra). However, the main attraction at this event wasn’t the S24 smartphone but the new Samsung AI, which is already integrated into the S24 devices.

What Is Samsung AI?
According to Samsung, the new Samsung AI is a combination of on-device and cloud-based services aimed at enhancing the user experience of Samsung’s latest flagship phones. The Galaxy AI will influence future Galaxy smartphones starting with the S24 and it promises functional improvements, new tools, and many fine-tuned features per current AI technology.
Since the mention of AI chatbots like Bard and ChatGPT, smartphone and commercial technology companies have been digging their hands into the generative AI pie one way or the other.
We have already seen Google’s generative AI functions in its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro and other tech giants like Apple and Huawei have also integrated artificial intelligence in their devices. The new Samsung Galaxy AI is Samsung’s own AI system set to change the user experience of its devices.
This new on-device AI is not the first in the smartphone industry. However, Samsung intends to make its AI stand out from the rest by using a large amount of its language model (Gauss) to achieve its generative imaging, texts, and translation.
Another key standout in the Samsung Galaxy AI is the collaboration with Qualcomm to incorporate its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which they describe as a “titan of intelligence and leader in performance and power efficiency.”
Powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, Samsung AI promises some of the best AI features out there. Let’s check them out.
What are the Standout Features of Samsung Galaxy AI?
With AI being the buzzword from last year, Samsung has put a lot of resources into the Galaxy AI. Let’s break down the extensive features of the new S24 AI:
Samsung Camera AI
It’s no news that the new Samsung AI will extend its functions to the S24 camera. Samsung already hinted at this in a video ad tagged “Zoom with Galaxy AI” where it showed the impressive zoom power of its new S24 Camera powered by AI.
Aside from its impressive zoom, Samsung AI will also provide image-generative functions and allow crisp 4k video recordings at different zoom levels.
Samsung Gauss: Galaxy AI Generative Model
Gauss is Samsung AI’s generative AI model and it will improve coding, imaging, and language functions on the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung Gauss language model can help users compose emails, summarize documents, and translate content.
Its generative image model will allow you to edit images and upscale low-res photos to a higher resolution and all these functions are accessible to users through an interactive UI.
Samsung AI Wallpaper & Photo Editing
Another main feature of Samsung’s artificial intelligence is AI photo editing which allows you to correct images by filling in missing spaces and removing or replacing objects in the image. The new AI improves functions of Samsung’s photo editing apps like Magic Eraser, so users can enjoy improved editing functions.
Samsung Galaxy AI also allows users to create generative wallpapers. You can select various styles and create a whole new wallpaper fitting your needs using the new Samsung AI.
Samsung AI Keyboard Feature
The Samsung keyboard has incorporated AI to allow translation on the go. You can select your native language and the preferred language to text with. This feature allows people to chat in different languages effortlessly.
The other aspect of the AI is keyboard writing assist, which helps users rewrite their messages or texts in different styles and tones. This feature will eliminate grammatical errors in texts and improve work efficiency.
Samsung AI Voice Feature
The voice feature on Samsung’s new artificial intelligence works in two different ways. The first is interpreter, which is a bit like Google Translate but it doesn’t rely on cloud and can therefore translate offline. Also, since the translation occurs on the S24, your conversation is not leaked through a cloud storage server.
The second is the Live-Translate which has been put into the phone dialer, this allows you to speak with other people in other languages. The best part about AI Live Translate is it doesn’t require the other person to use a S24. They can use any smartphone and AI Live Translate will work.
Enhanced Productivity and AI Circle to Search
Would you like a flagship device that can make your work & study easier? Then you’ll love the new S24 series thanks to its AI. The new Galaxy AI can help you summarize webpages, auto-format notes, and correct spelling and grammar.
Users can also search for images in third-party apps without losing anything thanks to the new AI circle to search. This feature provides information about objects, text descriptions, and images when you are browsing.
Samsung AI Transcript Assist and Caption
Samsung’s on-board Recorder app will also benefit from the new Samsung AI through a feature called Transcript Assist. AI now automatically labels the sentences for each speaker to aid understanding while playing the recording. Also, if you’re running out of time on a group meeting or lecture, the recordings of the entire session will be summarized for you.
Will the Samsung Galaxy S24 Become the Samsung AI Phone?
Samsung took a bold step with the use of generative AI to distinguish their devices from the pack and get consumers excited about upgrading their mobile devices in what has been a struggling smartphone market.
The new Samsung AI launches on the S24 series and it will improve the overall functioning and user experience of the new device, making it the new Samsung AI phone. The functionalities are deeply integrated into both S24's hardware and software. These next-generation devices are powered by top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon processors which provide the perfect canvas for realizing an unparalleled AI experience.
The Samsung S24 promises features to make the user experience more convenient and seamless. With features like Circle to Search, users can now search for images through the camera or on apps making it easier to get real-time information about a location, item, study course, or job posting.
Another very silent AI feature on the S24 Series is the voice call focus that helps to eliminate background noise from the other end of the phone. On the S24, the live translation is perhaps the most prominent feature. Designed for travelers, expatriates, and tourists, the Live Translate will facilitate cross-border communication like never before with thirteen supported languages providing both onscreen and audio text translations.
The S24 series is the first phone to house the Galaxy AI. However, Samsung has announced that nine other devices will be getting artificial intelligence: S23, S23 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 FE, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, Tab S9, Tab S9 Plus, and Tab S9 Ultra. Although Samsung did not explicitly say anything about the S22 series or the S21, we cannot fully rule out that they will be excluded from Samsung’s new AI.
