Samsung recently announced that it plans to start charging for specific Galaxy AI features by the end of 2025.
Samsung's press releases for the Galaxy Tab S10 series and Galaxy S24 FE include footnotes regarding the future of Galaxy AI. In the company's own words, “Fees may apply to certain AI features at the end of 2025.”
Samsung has, so far extended Galaxy AI features to its Fan Edition variants and even its tablets. Now, word is that quite a few A-series Samsung handsets will enjoy this privilege too.
Samsung Galaxy AI suite boasts a set of many strong features that could enhance productivity and creativity in the user, such as:
Note Assist: This tool helps with recording, transcription, and summarization of audio recordings. Note Assist can be a helpful feature for students and professionals alike.
Sketch-to-Image: Users can bring their doodles to life with this feature. You can generate an image from drawings or photos in the Samsung Gallery app, combining innovation and technology.
Circle to Search: It is a screenshot-researching tool that allows users to click on anything on the screen and search the web instantly for results.
PDF Overlay Translation: This translates and overlays text in PDFs so that anyone can read and understand irrespective of the language they speak.
As Samsung continues to monetize its AI capabilities, it'll be interesting to see what features end up making the cut to paid status by late 2025.
