Samsung announced that some AI-based features in the Galaxy S24 series of phones will come with a cost. Although the exact amount and payment method are not yet known, it is confirmed that this will take place next year.
During the presentation at last week’s Unpacked event, the company showcased many AI-powered features. It is also worth mentioning that Google announced that these phones will operate on the Gemini Nano model, which accelerates the device’s performance by avoiding cloud processing. Personal data will also remain on the device.
While some AI features in Galaxy phones are truly impressive, Samsung does not boast that their usage will incur certain costs. The company claims that “Galaxy AI” features will be free until the end of 2025, but no details are provided regarding which features will be subject to charges in the future.
It is also unknown which features were developed by Samsung themselves and which were done in collaboration with other companies. This crucial question also raises the issue of who will charge for using AI features in Galaxy S24 phones.
Additionally, the question arises as to whether the AI features provided by Qualcomm with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processors will also be available in the Exynos 2400 version of the Galaxy S24. This question remains unanswered for now.
For example, Qualcomm recently presented technical documentation on image generation using AI. However, no financial details related to this partnership were shown. It is unclear whether Qualcomm covers the costs of AI or if Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones are more expensive due to AI development.
Samsung has not yet provided details about the AI capabilities of the Exynos 2400 processor. It is unknown what AI features it offers and how it compares to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
At this time, the exact fees for AI generation features in Galaxy S24 phones and whether they will incur costs at all are still unknown. One thing is certain – such attractive features can entice many users who will need to be drawn into another subscription. However, it is somewhat disappointing that such advanced features will come with additional costs, especially when the prices of the phones themselves are already high.
