Galaxy S24's biggest AI features could be stuck behind a paywall

Like every other major tech company out there, Samsung is betting big on AI. The Korean tech giant recently announced plans to bake AI functionality directly into its mobile software and integrate Google Bard or OpenAI’s ChatGPT into next year's Galaxy S24 lineup. But before you get too excited, a new rumor suggests you'll have to fork over a subscription fee to access these fancy new AI features. 

Instead of relying on third-party services to drive the Galaxy S24 lineup’s AI features, the company has said it's working on integrating what it calls "on-device AI" to add powerful AI capabilities to photos, messages, voice recognition, and more. According to well-known tipster Revegnus (via Android Headlines), Samsung is "actively pursuing" locking these features behind a paywall. The tipster doesn’t provide any additional details about the rumored subscription service, so its features and cost remain unclear.
