Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, with features such as Live Translate, Circle to Search, Chat Assist, Note Assist, and Galaxy AI editing tools. This will first be available for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series recently launched in Kenya.
The features were announced during the global launch of the Samsung S24 series which happened on 17th January and saw the launch of the three variants, the S24, S24 Plus, and the S24 Ultra.
A Dive Into The Galaxy AI Features
Live Translate
With Live Translate, a two-way, real-time voice and text translation of phone calls within the native app, users will be able to defy language barriers when communicating without the need for third-party apps. With Interpreter, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi.
Chat Assist
For messages and other apps, Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a coworker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption. AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages. In the car, Android Auto will automatically summarize incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone your ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.
Note Assist
The organization also gets a big boost with Note Assist in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview. For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarize, and even translate recordings.
Circle to Search
Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks a milestone in the history of search as the first phone to debut an intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search with Google. With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. Depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions.
Galaxy AI In Camera
Galaxy S24 series’s ProVisual Engine is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image-capturing abilities and maximize creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot to sharing it on social. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with a new 5x optical zoom lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with enhanced digital zoom.
With upgraded Nightography capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any condition, even when zoomed in. Capture more light in dim conditions with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger pixel size, now 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger compared to the previous model. Blur is reduced on Galaxy S24 Ultra with wider optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation.
When recording videos, both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Blocks for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyzes gyro information to distinguish between the filmmaker’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.
After great shots are captured, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools enable simple edits like erase, re-compose, and remaster. For easier and more efficient optimizations, Edit Suggestion uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. To give users even more creative control and freedom, Generative Edit can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders. When an object needs to be slightly moved to be in the perfect position, AI lets users adjust the position of the subject and generates a perfectly blended background in its original spot.
Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. And if an action-packed video needs to be slowed down, the new Instant Slow-mo can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look.
Third-party social apps make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system. Premium Galaxy S series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps in HDR to level up social sharing. When it’s time to find an image in the Gallery or Instagram feed and reels, photos and videos are also shown in Super HDR for a more lifelike range of brightness, color, and contrast by analyzing highlighted sections of the images.
