Samsung just pulled the wraps off of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and, Galaxy S24 Ultra and we got a peek at what AI features these phones will offer. While AI features usually require a connection to the cloud, the S24 phones will take a different path. Many of the Galaxy S24’s AI features will use on-device AI.
Just today, Samsung announced that Galaxy AI is powered by Google’s Gemini Nano. This is a powerful AI model that can exist on a smartphone chip. That means that a device will be able to perform powerful AI tasks without needing to connect to the internet. This also opens the door for phones to better integrate AI with core system functions.
These Galaxy AI functions are performed on-device
Samsung announced quite a handful of new AI features during the event, and most of them are done on-device.
Firstly, the company announced a collection of features that all center around translating speech and text for people. While you’re texting someone, you’re able to easily translate what you’re typing using the Galaxy AI button on the Samsung Keyboard. Just type the message, and tap on the Chat Translation button. this will let you translate your message into one of several languages.
The Interpret tool will translate a face-to-face conversation between you and another person. The app will open in a split-screen view with a microphone icon on each side. This will allow both people to speak into the phone and translate everything they’re saying for the other person.
If you want to have a live conversation with a person who speaks another language, you’ll be able to do that over the phone. Galaxy AI will be able to translate phone conversations between people in real-time.
Other AI features
Samsung Notes also received a boost with on-device AI. The app will use AI to organize, summarize, and create templates for your notes. Also, it will create AI-generated covers for your notes so that you can identify them more easily.
Here’s another useful feature to help you with your messaging. Chat Assist will use generative AI to give your messages a different tone. After you type a message, Chat Assist will analyze what you wrote and offer alternatives. If you want it to sound more formal, you can choose the formal tone. If you want it to sound more casual, you can choose that option.
