Samsung Lunches Galaxy S24 Series with AI Features
Samsung Electronics has unveiled the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, unleashing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI.
Galaxy S series leads the way into a new era that will forever change how mobile devices empower users.
AI amplifies nearly every experience on Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier-free communication with intelligent text and call translations, to maximising creative freedom with Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine, to setting a new standard for search that will change how Galaxy users discover the world around them.
Speaking at the launch, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, Dr. Tae-moon Roy, said: “The Galaxy S24 series transforms our connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation. Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and deep understanding of how people use their phones. We’re excited to see how our users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI to open new possibilities.”
The Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. When you need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever.
Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It’s all possible with Live Translate, two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private, Roh said.
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.
CEO, Samsung Electronics West Africa, Sung-won Jung, said that 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 Aut 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.
“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, summarise and even translate recordings,” Jung said.
Head of Mobile Division, Samsung West Africa, Joy Tim-Ayoola, said the Galaxy S24 was the first Galaxy S series to be designed with recycled steel and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU).
“Galaxy S24 Ultra features a minimum of 40 per cent recycled steel in the speakers, and it includes a minimum of 10 per cent pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Additionally, every Galaxy S24 comes in a packaging box made from 100 per cent recycled paper material”, she said.
Head of Marketing, Samsung West Africa, Chika Nnadozie, said as a customer-centric brand who understands the realities of the Nigerian audience, Samsung rolled out Trade-in and Flexpay (pay small-small) options for Galaxy S24 series, adding that customers can also pre-order the devices from the 17th of January to the 12th of February to get amazing benefits worth up to N500,000.
