Samsung Galaxy AI Debuts With S24 Series: Here’s A Deep Dive Into Samsung’s Generative AI Features

Samsung's latest Galaxy S24 series has raised the bar by incorporating a variety of AI capabilities under its new "Galaxy AI" umbrella, both locally and through the cloud.

The S24 Ultra, the S24 Plus, and the standard S24 have not only kept up with current flagship offerings, but they have introduced AI features that distinguish them from the competition.

On-Device Generative AI for Image and Video Editing

The S24 series introduces a suite of image and video editing tools powered by generative AI. Users can now circle photo subjects to isolate, resize, move, or remove them from the frame.

Notably, the AI can adjust the horizon level without cropping, filling in the edges of the image intelligently. The standout feature is the ability to convert any video into a 120fps slow-motion video post-capture, showcasing the power of on-device AI interpolation.

Google's Circle to Search and Multilingual Conversations

In a partnership with Google, the integration of Google's Circle to Search feature is a noteworthy addition, allowing users to long-press the navigation handle or home button, circle an item on the screen, and initiate a search. The S24 series pioneers this feature alongside the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.

In the field of language translation, the S24 series allows for multilingual conversations through the native call app. Real-time translation during phone calls and text translation across various languages within the Samsung keyboard app demonstrates the device's ability to facilitate global communication.

Productivity Boost with AI

The AI-powered productivity enhancements include the ability to format notes, transcribe conversations, and even summarize them into bullet points.

Samsung's dedication to enhancing productivity extends to the camera app, which suggests intelligent editing changes using AI. The device can intelligently remove reflections and shadows, resulting in a more polished final image.

Circle to Search 2.0 and Advanced Camera Capabilities

Building on the Google Lens concept, Samsung's Circle to Search 2.0 takes visual search to a new level. Users can long-press the home button, select any part of a picture, and unveil information about the subject - be it a product or a landmark.

The camera app, enriched by AI, now offers generative AI options for online editing. Users can manipulate objects within a photo, adjust angles, and fill gaps intelligently. While the demos showcase impressive results, real-world scenarios will be the ultimate test of these AI-driven features.

Looking Ahead: AI Comes to Older Models

Samsung plans to extend these advanced AI capabilities to the S23 series phones, the Z Flip 5, and the Z Fold 5 in the future. This is excellent news for those who want the latest features from Samsung but do not want to spend on the latest and greatest from the company.
