It appears that Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on January 17 will serve as a significant platform for showcasing generative AI in smartphones. While enhanced hardware, such as sharper cameras and vivid screens, is probably what the Galaxy S24 phones will have, the emphasis this year seems to be more on software, notably Samsung's new artificial intelligence programs. A "comprehensive mobile AI experience" for Galaxy smartphones is what Samsung recently unveiled as Galaxy AI. Samsung claims that Galaxy AI will power communication, productivity, and creative features when it releases in early 2024, though specifics are yet few.
According to the schedule, Galaxy AI will make its debut with the Galaxy S24 series, giving the AI a boost that was lacking in earlier Galaxy phones. AI Live Translate Call, a feature of the Galaxy AI that offers real-time text and audio translations during phone calls made using Samsung's native calling software, was previously teased by Samsung. Unlike cloud-based systems, translations happen in privacy thanks to on-device processing.
Some Galaxy AI capabilities might depend on the cloud, even if AI Live Translate Call prioritizes privacy. However, completing some tasks locally wherever possible is consistent with Samsung's declared privacy objectives. Though it probably has more capabilities than Bixby, Samsung's 6-year-old digital assistant, Galaxy AI looks similar. Samsung's connected home gadgets will probably still be managed by Bixby, while Galaxy AI will take over as the AI face of the Galaxy phone line.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's AI capabilities have already been hinted at by Qualcomm, who has shown off the chip's ability to create call notes. Samsung claims that the Exynos 2400 will also yield significant advances in AI, including text-to-image generation. Regardless of the chipset that powers a particular Galaxy S24 model, AI capabilities ought to be impressive. Given Samsung's Exynos 2400 text-to-image boasts and Qualcomm's AI phone demos, generative AI may be the highlight feature of the Galaxy AI lineup. With the use of prompts, users can create text, images, videos, and more thanks to the technology powering chatbots like ChatGPT. Samsung might incorporate generative AI that is easy to use right into the messaging, camera, and other apps of the Galaxy S24.
