With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is making its first big bet on generative AI, the type of AI that powers ChatGPT and has thrown the tech world in a fervor since the popular chatbot’s arrival in late 2022. Those efforts have culminated in a suite of new features called Galaxy AI that includes everything from photo editing options for moving objects in photos to translating calls between languages in real time. They arrive on the new Galaxy S24 family first before coming to the Galaxy S23 series.Â
In its current form, Galaxy AI consists of a handful of tools and features primarily aimed at communication, productivity and content creation. But that’s just the beginning, said Won-Joon Choi, executive vice president and head of the research and development office for Samsung’s mobile experience business, who sat down with CNET ahead of Samsung’s Unpacked event on Jan. 17. According to Choi, Galaxy AI will arrive on everything from foldable phones to wearables.
“Galaxy S24 is just a specific bar-type smartphone,” he said. “But we do have a lot of different form factors, so we’re going to expand our Galaxy AI into multiple form factors, like tablets, foldables [and] a lot of others.”

Galaxy AI feels similar to generative AI-powered features we’ve seen from companies like Microsoft and Google over the past year but tailored specifically for Samsung’s smartphones. The Galaxy S24 will be able to rewrite text messages in a different tone before you hit the send button, translate text messages and documents in Samsung’s Note app, translate live phone calls in real time, fill in parts of photos you’ve edited, and identify speakers in audio transcriptions, among other things.
