Samsung recently released a teaser video titled “Galaxy AI is coming,” hinting at AI-powered features for their upcoming flagship Galaxy S24 smartphone series. The video highlights Samsung’s history of innovation without revealing any specifics about the AI capabilities. This has left tech enthusiasts wondering what exactly is Samsung cooking up for the Galaxy S24?
AI Integration in Galaxy Phones So Far
Samsung already integrates various AI-powered features in their premium Galaxy phones. The Scene Optimizer in the camera app can automatically adjust settings to optimize photo quality for different subjects. Bixby Voice acts as an AI-based virtual assistant. OneUI interface optimizations use on-device AI to boost performance and battery life.
While useful, these have limited capabilities compared to more advanced AI systems like Google Assistant, Alexa or ChatGPT. The “Galaxy AI” teaser hints Samsung is stepping up its AI game for the S24 series.
Speculations on Possible AI Features
Industry experts speculate Bixby could be getting a major upgrade with more natural language processing and conversational abilities. Samsung is reportedly collaborating with leading players like Microsoft, Google and others on generative AI.
With Microsoft integration, we can expect AI features similar to ChatGPT for conversational responses, text generation, and more. Google collaboration hints at improvements in Bixby natural language capabilities and potentially even some Google Assistant integration.
Samsung’s 2023 roadmap apparently includes plans for an AI-based “digital avatar” akin to Apple’s Memoji. This virtual avatar created from your selfies could respond to queries and assist in various device functions.
Other possibilities include
- AI-enhanced photography with better scene optimization, object recognition, segmentation capabilities
- Faster and more contextual Bixby voice assistant responses
- AI-based productivity features like meeting notes, schedule organization etc
- On-device processing for AI features instead of cloud reliance
- AI for device security – analyzing usage patterns to detect anomalies etc
- AR features like real-time language translation with AI overlays
- Software capabilities to run third-party AI apps similar to how Google offers ChatGPT integration in its search app
What Samsung Said About AI Plans
Previous year a Samsung executive confirmed they are continuously collaborating with Microsoft, Google and others on generative AI technologies for their devices. The executive hinted these technologies will play an important role in advancing smartphone capabilities going forward.
With ChatGPT sparking wide public interest in AI, Samsung seems keen to integrate more practical AI experiences into their flagship S24 phones. The company wants to highlight AI as a key differentiating factor.
The Galaxy S23 series already has top-tier hardware so Samsung is smart to position AI as the next big innovation. A digital assistant akin to ChatGPT could be a potent differentiator. But extensive cloud reliance may undermine the promise of on-device AI.
Bixby still feels gimmicky compared to Google Assistant or Siri. Samsung will need to nail natural language processing and contextual responses. If done right, AI capabilities can make the S24 phones radically more intuitive and smart compared to any Galaxy S phone before. But execution will be key.
