Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus hands-on: Samsung's AI phones are here, but with mixed results

Jan 17, 2024 - engadget.com
Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy S24 series, which includes new AI-powered features, largely processed on-device by Samsung's recently announced Gauss generative AI model. The five main areas where generative AI is making a difference in the Galaxy S24 lineup are search, translations, note creation, message composition, and photo editing and processing. Notable features include "Circle to Search," which allows users to search for items on their screen, and "Chat Assist," which uses generative AI to help reword messages to change their tone.

The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus models come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. They also feature a 50-megapixel main sensor, 12MP wide camera, and 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Despite the new software upgrades, the design of the S24 series remains largely unchanged from last year's models. The article suggests that while some of the new AI features could be useful, Samsung's focus on following trends rather than developing meaningful features could risk losing support for these tools in the future.

Key takeaways:

  • Samsung has launched the Galaxy S24 series with a focus on AI-powered features, including search, translations, note creation, message composition, and photo editing and processing.
  • The new Circle to Search feature, a Google service, allows users to draw a ring around anything on the display and get search results from Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE).
  • Samsung's AI can also help reword messages to change the tone, translate messages into one of 13 languages in real-time, and reformat large blocks of text into easy-to-read headers, paragraphs, and bullets in the Notes app.
  • The hardware of the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus includes a 50-megapixel main sensor, 12MP wide camera, and 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, with the base S24 starting out with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
