The recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 has raised great expectations, especially due to the company’s commitment to artificial intelligence under the Galaxy AI brand.
However, one detail surprised us a bit These Galaxy AI features will only be free until the end of 2025. TM Roh, president of Samsung Mobile, has shared some details about how the company will handle this after 2025.
During a media briefing, Roh addressed the topic that Galaxy AI would be free by 2025, and The executive mentioned that she had not yet decided what to do beyond this year.
What stands out is Roh’s mention of the possibility of inclusion “more powerful AI capabilities” for those who are willing to pay. The executive also acknowledged that there is a segment of smartphone consumers who would be happy with using free AI features.
According to our analysis, there are different needs for artificial intelligence on mobile devices. So there will be consumers who will be happy with using the AI functions for free.
Then there could also be customers who want even more powerful AI capabilities and are willing to pay for them. Therefore, we will take all of these factors into account when making future decisions.
It’s hard to say which of Galaxy AI’s current features will be included in the free version. However, this statement suggests that the company might be willing to offer at least some of them for free. These are likely to be those based on processing on the device itself.
Another notable fact is the company’s willingness to do this Bring Galaxy AI capabilities to 100 million devices this year. QWe summarize that this refers to Galaxy smartphones and tablets, as Samsung’s home devices, including the ones recently unveiled at CES, do not carry Galaxy AI branding, although they will feature AI in some form.
The Galaxy S23 models and the Galaxy Z Fold 5/Flip 5 will have Galaxy AI capabilities in the first half of the year. Unfortunately, the company has chosen to limit Galaxy AI features to flagship phones and tablets launching from 2023, meaning models like the Galaxy S22 will be left out.
