Samsung aren’t saying that they will charge for Galaxy AI feature but the fine print says the following:
“Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties.”
Paying for bloatware? Well, that’s a new thing for sure.
Samsung lost me as a customer when they removed the audio jack and SD card slot - I’m typing this on a S10+ that I’ve loved for years, but my next phone is going to be made by someone else, so they can shove the whole AI crap and yet another damn subscription so deep that it tickles their tonsils from the other side.
Still rocking my note 10 plus which had a SD card slot, and my LG V60 which still has both. The V60 has some of the best audio recording for video which I suspect is due to the DAC built in with the mic array.
Get people indoctrinated first so they start to rely on it, then charge them. This is the business model of all the Ai LLM’s so far as I can tell.
Please let there be a flagship-ish foss phone.
Im actually most hopeful in years.
Ahh just enough time to get people dependend on your product so they have no choice but to pay for it afterwards, how delightfull
Bring all Fairphones to the US please! We need another option that isn’t shit.

Okay. I use AI for hobbies, like art and getting D&D campaign ideas, so I was waiiting to see what the S24 could bring. Being able to do it locally on my phone would be amazing instead of zipping it off to DALLE or whatever.
I will almost assuredly not be paying for something that should be able to run on the locally on the hardware.
I could be misinformed but that was the whole selling point of Snapdragon 8 gen 3 was its on board NPU, no?
It looks like only the language related functions work locally going by some reports. The picture related editing and the like are online.
Unless there have been some major advancements recently I don’t think much of this is going to be running fully locally.
This is why I use a Pixel - sadly Google is gonna see this and say “great idea!” and charge for the Pixel AI features too now lol
Google is doing this for several years now already.
Go to Photos as and a lot of features are behind Google One or 1st year of Pixel purchase.
Samsung is just getting inspiration from likes of Google and Apple, and not the other way around.
I get constaly nagged to enable cloud backup.
Google. I have 15GB you gave me for free of which 7 or so are used by various stuff.
I don’t even have the space to off-load to it.
And I have an on-site backup so F you.
