Samsung confirms what we feared most about the Galaxy S24

New Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24 Ultra They come with several artificial intelligence features as a major new feature. In particular, the company allows users to edit images using generative artificial intelligence, use search solutions such as Circle to search, to search for anything around an image or transfer calls or messages in real time. These are the characteristics that available for free on all three new models, although only briefly.

Samsung has quietly confirmed that the features of what it calls Galaxy AI They will be available for free on the Galaxy S24 “until the end of 2025.” The company actually warns about this limitation on its website, although it doesn’t specify whether users, when the date arrives, will have to pay a subscription or something similar to continue using these features.

And not only this; Samsung also suggests that Some Galaxy S24 AI features may disappear in the futureclarifying that data provided by third parties is “subject to change.”

Not all Galaxy S24 AI features are dependent on Samsung

We must keep in mind that some of the AI-powered features available on the Galaxy S24, S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra they depend on Google. This is, for example, the case Circle to searchand perhaps some others that the firm has not yet disclosed. That is, while they’re available exclusively on Galaxy phones, it’s likely that the Mountain View firm has some kind of temporary agreement with Samsung that allows Google to limit features in the event that said agreement comes to an end.

Except, Not all Galaxy S24 AI features work locally. Samsung confirmed via Edge, that some features work thanks to “hybrid artificial intelligence,” which uses artificial intelligence on the device itself and in the cloud. Consequently, this requires the use of servers, the maintenance and availability of which are expensive for both Samsung and Google. In this way, and also if, for example, users do not use the AI ​​functions, both companies can simply eliminate them.

In any case, until at least 2025, all features will continue to be available on the Galaxy S24, and some of them will be available in addition.They will also appear on other older Galaxy models.
