Galaxy AI, or Gauss, is Samsung’s generative AI model and is first-party. They named it after the mathematician Gauss since AI and ML involves a lot of complex algorithms. It can generate text, compose mail, summarize documents, and also translate documents. Samsung will integrate Galaxy AI into their first-party apps, too.
Galaxy AI also supports image generation, and you can also edit the images that it has generated. It already exists in some form in the gallery app since you can upscale existing images. You can also use a feature similar to the Magic Eraser. Samsung is making it privacy-centric as well.
Galaxy AI: Features and Capabilities
Galaxy AI, introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, aims to enhance your phone experience through various intelligent features. Some key capabilities include Live Translate, Chat Assist, Bixby Text Call, Customizable Voice Assistant, Circle Search, Smart Text Extraction, AI Photo Editing, Photo Ambient Wallpaper, and more.
Galaxy AI has many features similar to existing AI assistants like Bard and Chat GPT. It also includes features from AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E since it uses generative AI for images. It has the obvious feature of being a conversational AI so that you can talk to it like a really smart chatbot.
You can also use it for coding automation. You give it a transcript, and it can write a code from your description. It can autocomplete existing code, write fresh code, or correct mistakes. Bard and Chat GPT can already do this, and we have to see how Samsung’s implementation is.
It has two main components:
- Gauss Code: It helps to simplify complex coding workflows. It assists developers and beginners in writing code alike.
- Gauss Image: This is similar to Midjourney, and it can generate an image from text input. It can also upscale lower-resolution images. You can also use it to create and edit images through a few simple commands.
Samsung also has a demo on their website, where they showcase the new zooming capabilities. Galaxy AI can use algorithms to improve the zoom quality of images, and this also helps with locking focus in videos.
Samsung claims that these features will change the way we interact with our phones and that they’ll change the experience in truly meaningful ways. Galaxy AI will apparently allow Audio and text translations in real-time.
Samsung explains AI Live Translate Call on their official website. It’s self-explanatory and acts like a personal translator. You don’t have to use any third-party apps for it anymore. It’s also private. The other side can see a translation in their language effortlessly. This solves plenty of communication barriers.
Here’s the list of Samsung phones confirmed to receive the new Galaxy AI features:
- Galaxy S24 Series (S24, S24+, S24 Ultra)
- Galaxy S23 Series (S23, S23+, S23 Ultra)
- Galaxy S23 FE
- Galaxy Z Fold 5
- Galaxy Z Flip 5
- Galaxy Tab S9 Series (Tab S9, Tab S9+, Tab S9 Ultra)
The Galaxy S24 series boasts One UI 6.1 and Galaxy AI out of the box, while other devices, including the S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Tab S9 series, will get them via a One UI 6.1 update in the first half of 2024. Samsung Galaxy S22 Series (S22, S22+, S22 Ultra) and Galaxy Tab S8 series are not included in the list of Galaxy AI features.
