Samsung Galaxy AI Unveils a New Era in the Galaxy S24 Series with Interpreter, Live Translate, and More

Samsung has just revealed its latest Galaxy S24 series in San Jose, California. We delved into the behind-the-scenes action, getting hands-on experience with these sleek new devices. Samsung is fully embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and dubs it Galaxy AI, seamlessly integrating AI into various facets of the phones.

The Unpacked event is taking place in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, specifically at the SAP Center in San Jose, making a noteworthy statement about Samsung's AI prowess amidst the headquarters of tech giants like Apple and Google. Notably, OpenAI, a key player in the AI landscape, is also situated in the Bay Area.

TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized that this launch marks a pivotal moment for mobile phones, aiming to democratize AI access as smartphones evolve into the primary platform for utilizing AI tools. Samsung has forged a partnership with Google for multiple features on the new S24 lineup. During the presentation, Google's Hiroshi Lockheimer took the stage, revealing that Samsung is leveraging Google's Gemini Nano on-device AI model in the Galaxy S24 series. The integration of AI into various aspects of the Galaxy S24 series by Samsung is indeed intriguing.

Live Translate -

Live Translate provides bi-directional, instantaneous voice and text translations for phone calls directly within the native app, encompassing more than 13 languages as a default feature. During a call, I communicated in English while the other person spoke in Spanish, and this feature seamlessly facilitated the conversation. Notably, the individual on the opposite end of the call could even be utilizing a landline.

Interpreter -

Using Interpreter, you can engage in a live conversation with someone and receive immediate translations in a split-screen format. Remarkably, it operates seamlessly without an internet connection, and I witnessed its functionality persisting even when the phone was in Airplane mode.

Chat and Note Assist -

To initiate conversations on messaging and social media, Chat Assist can provide valuable assistance. Additionally, the AI integrated into the Samsung Keyboard enables real-time translation of messages in 13 languages.

If you're using Samsung Notes, Note Assist allows you to obtain AI-generated summaries and formatted content effortlessly with just a single click.

Circle to Search with Google -

As implied by its name, this functionality allows you to highlight any section of the Galaxy S24 screen to retrieve Google search results. Activation is initiated by performing a prolonged press on the home button.

Expressive messaging with AI on Google Messages -

Leveraging Magic Compose powered by Gemini Nano, the Galaxy S24 empowers you to craft distinctive messages in various styles, whether it's an enthusiastic tone, a formal style, or even a lyrical expression. Photomoji adds another layer of creativity by allowing you to generate a personalized emoji from your own photos using generative AI.

Android Auto Integration -

When you're behind the wheel, Android Auto takes care of summarizing lengthy texts or busy group chats automatically, ensuring you can stay connected while staying focused on the road. Additionally, Android Auto suggests relevant replies and actions that you can execute without physically interacting with your phone.

Soon, Android Auto will seamlessly mirror the design elements, such as wallpaper and icons, from your Samsung Galaxy phone, providing a consistent and smooth transition between your phone and car.

Photography Excellence -

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is equipped with the advanced ProVisual Engine, introducing AI-powered tools for content creation. Teamed up with cutting-edge camera hardware featuring the Quad Tele System, users can capture photos from a distance with varying zoom levels, reaching up to an impressive 100X with enhanced clarity.

Photo Editing receives a significant enhancement with Generative AI-based Edits. To combat misinformation, Samsung is incorporating watermarks and metadata to AI-generated images. Super HDR, Night photography, and Video stabilization are accessible through in-app cameras on Instagram and Snapchat specifically tailored for the S24 series. Notably, Instagram now supports HDR photos for the first time on the S24 series.

Samsung's Vision for AI Accessibility-

Samsung aspires to make AI tools accessible to all through its Galaxy devices. The company holds a pioneering position as one of the first manufacturers to introduce a native AI experience to the S24 lineup, showcasing its commitment to democratizing access to advanced AI features.
