Samsung is currently in the process of delivering a suite of new AI features to Galaxy users, with notifications about an upcoming update being received by users. The new AI tools are part of the One UI 6.1 update, previously exclusive to the Galaxy S24, but now being extended to select devices released in 2023.
The AI features include Live Translate, Circle to Search, Note Assist, and generative image editing, and will be available on devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, the latest Fold and Flip handsets, and the Tab S9 series. However, older devices like the Galaxy S22 range will not receive these new AI features.
Galaxy S23 owners around the world have reported receiving notifications about the impending update, indicating a global rollout by Samsung. The company's decision to provide these features for free may be a strategic move, as the fine print suggests that the Galaxy AI features will be free until at least the end of 2025.
Given the costs associated with developing generative AI technology, Samsung may consider charging for these features in the future. This aligns with the trend in the industry, where companies are exploring subscription models for advanced AI tools. Samsung's commitment to providing these features for free until 2025 may pave the way for potential subscription offerings beyond that timeframe.
