The latest high-end smartphones from Samsung Electronics, which were launched on Wednesday, will have many AI features.
The AI features which are from Google also include simultaneous translation of phone conversations into other languages, the company said.
According to data source International Data Corporation, Apple overtook Samsung in 2023 smartphone shipments and opened a new page, overtaking Samsung for the first time since 2010 as demand for high-end devices—a market area in which Apple is a leader—outpaces growth.
As a reaction, Samsung is including a number of AI features in its high-end Galaxy S24 models as part of an effort to draw customers.
The Galaxy S24 series is the first smartphone to enable two-way speech translation in real-time during a live phone call in two distinct languages, according to the firm.
The on-device AI feature, which is available in 13 languages, is provided via Samsung’s own generative AI training. Moreover, it has a feature called “circle-to-search” that allows you to search for any portion of a picture on Google by circling it on the screen. AI translation and the ability to alter the message’s tone to one of informal, professional, business, or social media are two more capabilities.
Samsung is also adding AI voice recording summaries and translations, “generative editing” of images that add nonexistent backdrops, and a function that uses AI to fill in nonexistent frames in real-time films to create slow motion.
