With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 range, Samsung has positioned its latest devices as the flagship AI smartphones – so when news broke that some core AI features would apparently only be free for the first year and chargeable thereafter, it looked like Samsung was treating its customers poorly. Bad publicity ensued, but according to Samsung Mobile boss TM Roh things aren't quite as customer-gouging as they've been reported.
Speaking to ET Telecom, Roh has provided more detail on Samsung's plans to charge for AI features in its Galaxy phones. The short version: it doesn't really know what it's going to do next year just yet, so while AI features are coming not just to the S24 but to the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5 and Z Fold 6, they might not be going away next year after all.
