What it is

Overview

Galaxy AI lives inside Samsung phones, tablets, and watches as a suite of on-device tools that handle photo cleanup, live call translation, and text summarization without opening separate apps. A hybrid build — some tasks run locally on Samsung's Exynos chips, others route to cloud models when the job is heavier. The audience that shows up in reviews is Samsung device owners who bought the hardware first and found the AI layer already installed. Call screening and Circle to Search are the two features reviewers most often describe as the reason they keep the suite turned on.

Best for

Watch out for

Real product, not a wrapperIndependent product

Galaxy AI integrates useful automation (call screening, live translation, photo cleanup) directly into Samsung devices, eliminating the need to switch apps or manually prompt an LLM for these tasks. However, several core features (like Gemini Notebook, prominently featured in ads) rely on Google's third-party models rather than Samsung's own AI. It's a strong integration play with real convenience value, but not a fully proprietary AI stack.

“I was excited to see the Gemini app integration come to Galaxy AI at Unpacked! As soon as the feature released a couple weeks ago I had to try it out. As a Samsung ambassador I was testing it out day 1! I tried it on UberEats, Door dash and McDonald's. I was able to tell Gemini what I wanted to order from where and if I wanted pickup and delivery and boom it searched through the app I wanted to use and got me ordered prepared. All I had to do was confirm the order once Gemini built it and then f”

“I'm still using my Samsung S25 FE. Of all my Samsung phones, the S25 FE is my favorite. I like the size and the touchscreen. I use it for my social media recording, editing, and uploading. I always thought a high-end version was much better, but the S25 FE proved me wrong. It's more than enough for my daily usage. I also have an iPhone 13, but it always gets too hot when I try to record and edit even a simple video. It's like the old days when my computer always hung, and software would close su”

“Just realized that the Galaxy AI features were said to be removed this year for all users and placed behind a paywall. Why would Samsung present a new phone and make the AI features the biggest selling point, only to then take them away and remove the main reason most people bought the phone in the first place? They didn’t say anything about it being free for a limited time and then being removed because they knew no one would buy the phone, especially since there’s almost no difference between ”

“Poor shopping customer experience. ordered on 3rd August still the order has not been shipped and the customer support is saying it will take 1 to 2 weeks more because they took more orders than their inventory. Highly pathetic and poor experience. Update 24Aug2026. Still the order is under preparation. Shame on you guys. if you don't have inventory why did you take my order. I am attaching a screenshot here where it still shows order under preparation and estimate delivery date to be 4th Aug”

“Paiment method is kinda hard to get it to work, and when you order something before release you don't even get it on the release date, they don't even ship it the day on the release either. Just buy it from retellers or just go for another brand. contacted their support and was useless, it was probably AI ....”

“The application is lagging and the experience is very poor for a Samsung's app. This application should be one of the modeling apps that shows the best experience using an app on a Samsung phone honestly. I don't understand how it is this bad and it is not as smooth as apple store on IPhones. As a Samsung user this truly bothers me!”

Questions

Frequently asked

What is Galaxy AI?

Galaxy AI is an integrated AI companion built directly into Samsung's ecosystem of Galaxy smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and earbuds. It provides context-aware assistance and intelligent features for photo editing, real-time translation, productivity, health tracking, and communication without requiring separate app downloads. The system works seamlessly across Samsung devices through the One UI interface.

Is Galaxy AI free to use?

Yes, Galaxy AI's basic features are currently free and come integrated with Samsung Galaxy devices including phones, tablets, and wearables. However, Samsung notes that future enhanced features may be offered on a paid basis, and third-party AI features operate under separate terms.

Which Samsung devices support Galaxy AI?

Galaxy AI is available on Samsung smartphones starting from the S24 Series, compatible tablets running supported OS versions, Galaxy Watch smartwatches, and Galaxy Buds earbuds. Feature availability varies by specific device model, region, and carrier, so not all features work on every device.

How does Photo Assist work for editing images?

Photo Assist allows you to move, resize, or delete objects in your photos while AI automatically fills in the gaps to maintain a natural appearance. You can also use text prompts to add new elements like accessories to subjects in your images, making advanced photo editing accessible without specialized software.

What languages does the Interpreter feature support?

The Interpreter feature supports real-time speech translation across 22 languages. It delivers audio translation through Galaxy Buds while simultaneously displaying text on your Galaxy phone, making it useful for face-to-face conversations in different languages.

Can Galaxy AI remove background noise from videos?

Yes, the Audio Eraser feature can detect and remove background noise from videos by filtering six types of sound including voices, wind, and crowd noise. This allows you to clean up video audio after recording without needing separate audio editing software.

What is My FanCam and how does it work?

My FanCam converts wide-angle videos into subject-centered tracking shots with customizable aspect ratios. This allows you to reframe and focus on specific subjects in your footage after you've already recorded it, essentially creating multiple camera angles from a single wide shot.

How does Transcript Assist help with meetings and lectures?

Transcript Assist converts audio recordings into text and can summarize and translate the content. This makes it useful for capturing meeting notes or lecture content without manual note-taking, and the summarization feature helps you quickly review key points.

Can Galaxy AI help filter spam calls?
