Consumers looking for phones focused on longevity need to keep in mind that the Galaxy S24’s AI tools won’t last forever, at least not for free. Now, Samsung did not disclose its business strategy for these services.

The limited freedom of Galaxy AI tools is not necessarily new. In November last year, informants had already stated that Samsung was considering offering the technology for a monthly fee.

And this is not an unusual practice. OpenAI and Microsoft have subscriptions for access to AI tools. Recently, the owner of Windows presented Copilot Pro, a version of the assistant that offers special features for R$ 110 per month.
