Samsung has published a series of promotional videos for its newly launched Galaxy S24 series on YouTube. The videos take us through Galaxy AI and other features introduced with the new flagships. The company is currently taking pre-orders for the devices, with general sales beginning at the end of this month.
Samsung releases new promotional videos for the Galaxy S24 series
Galaxy AI is a comprehensive suite of on-device and cloud-based AI features on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is the biggest selling point of the phones. The company spent much time explaining the new features at the launch event yesterday. It has now followed up with step-by-step guides for two of them.
Firstly, Samsung takes us through Live Translate, a groundbreaking feature that removes language barriers and fosters communication. If you are on a phone call with someone who doesn’t speak a common language, you can use this tool to translate the call in real-time. Whatever the person says will be translated into your language. The device will also translate your response to the language the person speaks.
The whole system is built right into the stock calling app on the Galaxy S24 phones. You don’t need a separate app to use this two-way live call translation tool. To enable it, open the Phone app, tap on the three vertical dots in the top right corner, select Settings, click on Live Translate, and turn the toggle on. You can then configure the language settings and voice. The video below gives you a demo of the tool.
Circle to search is another major AI feature introduced with the Galaxy S24 series. As you might have guessed, it allows you to search for anything on the screen by drawing a circle around it. You can also scribble or drag over the object or text to select it. The device will then quickly run a Google search for whatever is displayed on the selected portion of the screen. Here’s how it works.
AI also helps improve low-light camera zoom performance
Samsung is leveraging the built-in AI capabilities of the Galaxy S24 series to improve the camera zoom performance in low-light conditions. In a short video, the company shows how you can get clear and sharp images of anything from far away even when there isn’t adequate light. And if the scene has unwanted disturbances, you can quickly erase those and fill in details with the help of AI. How cool is that?
These are just a few of the new AI features Samsung unveiled yesterday. There are AI tools for generative photo editing, note formatting, and summarizing, live translating text messages, and many more. You can expect Samsung to release more promotional videos highlighting these Galaxy S24 features in the coming days. The devices are currently available for pre-order in most countries worldwide.
