Samsung is teasing a "new era of Galaxy AI," which basically means the company intends to stuff a bunch of AI features into its upcoming handsets starting in early 2024 (when we expect the Galaxy S24 to make its debut).
"Galaxy AI is a comprehensive mobile AI experience, powered by both on-device AI developed at Samsung and cloud-based AI enabled by our open collaborations with like-minded industry leaders," Samsung says. "It will transform your everyday mobile experience with the peace of mind you count on from Galaxy security and privacy."
Samsung got specific on one feature heading to the dialer app on its phones: AI Live Translate Call, which will translate what the other person is saying. "Audio and text translations will appear in real-time as you speak, making calling someone who speaks another language about as simple as turning on closed captions when you stream a show," Samsung says.
Samsung didn't say which languages it will support but noted that it works on-device, so the conversations never leave your phone.
This comes after Samsung announced its Gauss AI model yesterday, which it says will show up in some form on its consumer devices, though it didn't specify.
Rival phone makers are also experimenting with AI. For example, the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro use AI-assisted photo and video editing while Apple intends to hop on the AI train later in 2024.
