Samsung boosts AI adoption with new device

- By Fathia Balogun

SAMSUNG has ushered in a “new era of AI” with the launch of its Galaxy S24 smartphone series, which leans heavily on the vendor’s big- name partners – Google Cloud and Qualcomm – for the capabiliti­es and functional­ity that enable features such as live translatio­n of calls and texts.

AI amplifies nearly every experience on the Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier- free communicat­ion with intelligen­t text and call translatio­ns, to maximizing 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.

President and Head of Mobile experience Business at Samsung Electronic­s, TM Roh, 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.”

Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligen­ce aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamenta­l role: communicat­ion. When users need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever.

The Galaxy S24 launch is seen as an effort by Samsung to use AI- driven features to “reignite consumers’ interest in smartphone­s at a time when incrementa­l hardware updates have seen sales slow”.

The 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 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.
