Samsung is gearing up to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) as a major element in the upcoming Galaxy S24 series. However, as excitement is on the rise, a divisive rumor has emerged: will Samsung impose a subscription fee for access to these AI features?
Samsung has a strong background in AI technology and has been making significant advancements in the field. PhoneArena reported that Samsung’s latest commitment, announced at the annual AI Forum 2023, underscores the company’s intention to offer a “new experience” by integrating AI into its devices, with plans to launch AI features starting in 2024. Speculation has been circulating that the forthcoming Galaxy S24 series will be the flagship for these AI features.
In a recent report from prominent tech tipster Revegnus, as cited by Android Headlines, it is suggested that Samsung might opt for a subscription-based model to unlock these innovative generative AI tools. This unexpected development has prompted inquiries about the reasoning behind charging users for on-device AI features.
While the specifics of Samsung’s AI features remain under wraps, recent reports allude to an innovative venture. By leveraging the power of the Exynos 2400 chip, Samsung aims to introduce functionalities akin to ChatGPT and Google Bard. These features will seamlessly integrate AI chatbots into the phone’s operations, adding a new dimension to the user experience. Furthermore, the unveiling of a text-to-image AI generation tool during the Exynos 2400 launch event hints at Samsung’s commitment to on-device AI processing.
Voice assistants like Bixby have seen limited development in recent years, but with the advent of AI, Bixby could undergo a remarkable transformation. Samsung aims to narrow the gap between its voice assistant and rivals such as Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri. New features could include enhanced speech-to-text functionality and more natural, human-like conversations, potentially redefining the role of voice assistants in our daily lives.
It is worth noting that Samsung has not officially confirmed any of these rumors, and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected in the third or fourth week of January 2024. Stay tuned for updates here at Tech Times.
