While the launch of the Galaxy S24 is still a few months away, rumours have surfaced about the inclusion of on-device generative AI as a new feature. However, a fresh rumour suggests that access to Samsung’s AI tools might come at a cost.
There have been several speculations indicating that Samsung aims to make on-device generative AI a defining feature of the Galaxy S24. The company intends to use this technology to enhance various phone aspects, including photos, messaging, voice recognition, and more. While these tools could be intriguing, an anonymous source named Revegnus has hinted that Samsung is contemplating placing them behind a subscription paywall.
Details about the potential subscription fee remain undisclosed, and the reasons behind such a decision are speculative. Recently, companies like LG and GM have explored revenue generation through subscriptions and transitioning into software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses. Samsung has faced challenges in a sluggish market this year, and the company may see subscriptions as a means to establish a reliable source of income.
The anticipated launch date for the Galaxy S24 is in the third week of January 2024. If the subscription rumour holds true , it will likely be confirmed during the launch event.
