The arrival of Galaxy AI in the new Samsung Galaxy S Series marks a turning point in our understanding of smartphones. We're no longer just talking about more power or better cameras, but about phones capable of Understand what you're doing, anticipate your needs, and help you in real time. in almost any everyday situation: when you call, write, take photos, take notes or drive.
In this article you will find a complete guide to how artificial intelligence works in the Galaxy S, what exactly Galaxy AI is, and what it can do for you in communication, productivity, and photography. Which models receive it first, and what role do Google Gemini and supported languages play?Everything is explained in a friendly tone, but with maximum detail so that you are very clear about what this new generation of mobile AI really offers.
What is Galaxy AI and how does it fit into your smartphone?
Galaxy AI is the name Samsung has given to its new AI platform artificial intelligence integrated directly into the Galaxy SIt's not a single app, nor an isolated chatbot like ChatGPT within the mobile device, but an AI layer that is distributed throughout the system and enhances multiple native functions.
For the past few years, you've been using AI without realizing it: the system adjusted the brightness, Android optimized the battery, and the camera automatically selected settings. The big difference now is that the AI in the Galaxy S series becomes... visible, controllable, and useful in complex tasks: translate calls in real time, summarize notes, rewrite messages with the right tone, edit photos generatively, or search for anything you see on screen with a simple gesture.
Samsung has unveiled Galaxy AI alongside the Galaxy S24 family One UI 6.1, its customization layer. The idea is that this artificial intelligence is “standard” on the mobilewithout always relying on external websites or third-party apps, and combining AI in the cloud (via Google Cloud) with models that run directly on the device for local and offline tasks.
Collaboration with Google: Gemini Pro and Gemini Nano
A key part of Galaxy AI is Samsung's partnership with Google. Many of the most advanced features rely on it. Gemini Pro on Google Cloud serversThis allows for complex summaries, context understanding, and high-quality translations without the user having to do anything unusual: you simply use your mobile phone and the AI happens behind the scenes.
In addition, the Galaxy S24 series integrates Gemini Nano at the device levelA lightweight model designed to run directly on the phone. Thanks to this, some AI features can function even without a connection or with minimal data usage, improving privacy because certain information doesn't leave the device.
However, not all tools are exclusive to Samsung: features such as Circle to Search (Circle to search) or some translation options will also appear on the Google Pixel 8 and, later, on other Android devices. Even so, the way they've been integrated into One UI and the full suite of Galaxy AI is, to this day, a hallmark of the Galaxy S series.
How AI works in the new Galaxy S phones in everyday use
The logical question is: okay, so what does this mean when I use my phone? Galaxy AI ensures your Galaxy S Series is more intuitive, more efficient, and more personalized than before. It learns from your usage patterns, gradually adapts to your preferences, and appears precisely when it makes sense.
In practice, you'll notice AI spread across several key areas: communication without language barriers, smart writing and messaging, productivity and organization, advanced photography and video, and a new way to search on the screenAll of this is combined with classic hardware improvements in screen, cameras and processor to make the whole experience worthwhile.
Galaxy AI for communication without language barriers
One of the areas where Galaxy AI truly shines is communication. The idea is that you can speak, write and understand other people even if you don't share a languagewithout relying on additional apps or copying and pasting text into translators.
Simultaneous translation on calls: Live Translate
Instant call translation, known as Live Translate within Call Assist, allows you to call someone who speaks another language and have AI translate it. Translate in real time what you both sayThe other person doesn't need to have a Samsung phone or install anything; you just need to use your compatible Galaxy S.
When you speak, the phone transforms your voice into another language and plays it back to the other person; when they reply, the system returns the translation in both audio and text. You can also choose settings such as whether you want to hear the original voice, only the translation, or a combination of both. It facilitates real conversations with people from any country..
Face-to-face Interpreter Mode
If you're physically with someone who doesn't speak your language, Interpreter Mode turns your phone into a two-way simultaneous translator. The phone listens, transcribes, and It shows in split screen what each person says in their own languageIt works both by voice and by typing, and in many cases even without a data or Wi-Fi connection.
This feature is especially useful for traveling, studying, or working with people from other countries, because It greatly speeds up informal or work-related conversations. without having to stop every two sentences to manually look at a translator.
Translation integrated into the Samsung keyboard
Samsung's keyboard also gets smarter thanks to Galaxy AI. Now, while typing in messaging apps, social media, or email, you can Translate your messages in real time into other languages directly from the keyboard, without leaving the application.
In addition to translating, the keyboard can suggest grammatical corrections, style changes, and reformulations This feature allows your text to sound more natural, professional, or personal, depending on the context. It integrates with platforms like WhatsApp through specific agreements, enabling AI to analyze incoming text and securely translate it back to you.
Writing Assist and Chat Assist: write better with less effort
Writing Assist is another major highlight. Integrated into the keyboard and various applications, Writing Assist can Rewrite your texts in different tones and stylesMore formal, more direct, more creative, shorter, etc. It's ideal for emails to bosses, messages to clients, or even social media captions.
Chat Assist, also linked to the Samsung keyboard, helps you to correct, summarize, or improve the messages you are going to sendIf you're struggling to find the right tone or want to sound more professional, the AI suggests alternatives that you can accept or modify on the fly. All of this makes your phone a true, always-available writing assistant.
Productivity: notes, transcripts, and smart Android Auto
Galaxy AI doesn't stop at messaging. It also enhances productivity so the phone can serve as a... notebook, smart recorder, and driving co-pilotreducing the time you waste organizing information.
Note Assist in Samsung Notes
Within Samsung Notes appears Note Assist, a feature that uses AI to Summarize your long notes, generate visual covers, and create templates. with predefined formats. If you usually take extensive notes in meetings or classes, you can get a short and structured summary in a matter of seconds.
Note Assist also enables automatic formatting and suggestions when you handwrite with the S Pen on tablets or compatible models. The system can Convert handwriting into clean digital text, organize information, and provide clear summaries without you having to reread pages and pages.
Transcription assistant on the recorder
The voice recorder app relies on Galaxy AI to go far beyond simple audio recording. It can transcribe speech to text, identify different speakers, summarize content, and even translate itThis is especially useful for interviews, meetings, or classes.
AI separates who says what, labels participants, and, if necessary, generates a summary of the key points. In this way, your Galaxy S becomes a powerful tool for manage spoken information without having to listen to it all again.
Android Auto with message summaries and suggested replies
While driving, Galaxy AI integrates with Android Auto to make your life easier and safer. The system can automatically summarize incoming messages (for example, a long WhatsApp paragraph) and offer you quick suggested replies that you can send with a tap or by voice.
It is also capable of proposing related actions, such as Send your estimated arrival time or confirm an appointmentSo you stay connected without dangerous distractions while driving. The idea is to keep you informed, but without you having to read or write while driving.
The new way to search: Circle to Search
One of the most striking features is the on-screen contextual search, known as Circle to Search. This tool, developed in conjunction with Google, allows users to... search for any item that appears on your screen simply by surrounding it with your finger or with the S Pen.
Whether you're looking at a TikTok video, an Instagram photo, a web snippet, or a YouTube frame, you circle a product, a monument, an animal, or some text, and AI... It analyzes the image and launches a contextual search on the Internet.Additionally, you can add extra text to ask more specific questions about what you have selected.
Galaxy AI in the camera: ProVisual Engine, Nightography and video
Samsung has been pushing the boundaries of mobile photography for years, and now it's adding another layer with Galaxy AI. The Galaxy S series, especially the more advanced models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, integrates powerful cameras combined with a AI-based ProVisual Engine which improves both capture and editing.
Powerful cameras and intelligent stabilization
In previous generations like the Galaxy S22 and S22+, we already saw configurations with 50MP main sensor, 10MP telephoto lens and 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, accompanied by advanced VDIS technology to reduce vibrations and ensure smooth video even while in motion.
In the Galaxy S24 series, the leap comes with the Quad Tele System of the S24 Ultra, which includes a new 5x optical telephoto lens paired with a 50MP sensorThanks to the Adaptive Pixel Sensor, optical quality results are achieved at 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x zooms, and an improved digital zoom that allows shooting up to 100x with sharper images than in previous generations.
Night photography and smart scenes
Nightography mode also benefits from Galaxy AI, analyzing each scene and applying intelligent adjustments to Capture more light, reduce noise, and improve detail in night photosThe result is clearer images, with more realistic colors and less blurriness, even in low light.
In addition, the camera uses AI to detect people in groups and apply features such as automatic framing, capable of track up to ten subjects and dynamically adjust focus and framing so that everyone turns out well, without you having to worry about who gets left out.
Generative editing in the Gallery: photos that adapt to what you want
Once you've taken the photo, another powerful component of Galaxy AI comes into play: the generative editingThe Gallery app can now automatically detect editable elements in an image and suggest changes. ranging from simple adjustments to advanced transformations.
The main functions include removing unwanted objects and filling the background, recomposing the photo by moving subjects around, remastering images to gain sharpness and reduce noise, and enlarge the photograph beyond its original frame using content generation to fill in the borders.
The Generative Editing option, specifically, allows AI to straighten a crooked image. automatically fill in empty spaces at the edgesIf you move a person or object within the photo, the system generates a consistent background where it was before, so the result looks natural. Whenever generative AI is used to enhance an image, the phone adds a watermark and notes the use of AI in the metadata to maintain transparency.
In video, the Instant Slow-mo function can create intermediate frames using AI When you want to slow down a fast scene, achieving a much smoother and more detailed slow motion than if you simply duplicated frames.
Wallpapers and visual creativity with AI
Beyond traditional photography, Galaxy AI also opens the door to creating visual content from scratch. The new Galaxy S phones can Generate unique wallpapers from simple instructions, similar to what has been seen in the Google Pixel.
You write a description or choose some parameters, and the AI creates several designs for you to select the one you like best. This same philosophy of assisted creativity extends to elements such as Lock screen backgrounds, style variations, and small personalized visual touches that previously required external apps.
Galaxy AI on tablets: Galaxy Tab S8 and a hybrid world
Samsung's AI strategy isn't limited to phones. With the Galaxy Tab S8 family (Tab S8, S8+, and Tab S8 Ultra), the brand offers tablets designed for a hybrid work and leisure environmentwhere video calls, streaming, and multitasking are commonplace.
These tablets incorporate ultra-wide-angle front cameras, a three-microphone array, and intelligent auto-framing technology, which Adjust the image to keep you centered in the scene. during video conferences, all supported by AI to detect movements and faces.
They also boost productivity thanks to features like Multi-Active Window and Samsung DeXSecure file sharing with password-protected Quick Share and a 4nm processor that, along with a very fluid S Pen, allows take notes, draw, and work with multiple apps at the same time without losing performance.

Which Galaxy phones will this AI be coming to and when?
Samsung has begun rolling out Galaxy AI with the Galaxy S24 series: the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra all come with these features integrated from the start. first models designed from scratch with this AI layer in mind, taking advantage optimized processors, such as the Exynos 2400 in some markets, with specific capabilities for artificial intelligence tasks.
The company has confirmed that, throughout the first half of 2024, Galaxy AI will be rolling out to other high-end models via the One UI 6.1 update. Among the likely candidates are... Recent premium devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, as well as some high-end foldable phones and tabletsHowever, Samsung has made it clear that not all features will be available on all devices.
In the brand's own words, "many of the features" will arrive, and there will be exclusive features for the S24 family and later models, due to hardware limitations and to maintain a competitive edge in the higher-end range. This means that Not all Galaxy devices will receive the full Galaxy AI packageand that the most demanding features or those requiring processors with advanced AI accelerators will be restricted to specific models.
Design, screen and user experience in the Galaxy S24 series
Although the focus is on AI, Samsung has also improved the physical components of the Galaxy S24 to make the whole package work. The entire series debuts thinner bezels and slightly larger screens without increasing the size of the body, so you immerse yourself more in the content and have more room to work with the AI features.
The Galaxy S24+ offers a 6,7-inch screen, while the Galaxy S24 remains at 6,2 inches, both with Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels and Vision Booster technology for Adjust brightness and contrast according to ambient lightThis translates to better visibility in sunlight.
