Samsung’s Galaxy S24 and AI event: all the news

On top of the latest generation of its flagship phones, Samsung revealed a bevy of new AI features at its Unpacked event in San Jose.

Samsung’s wintertime Unpacked event’s starring lead wasn’t the new Galaxy S24 lineup — it was AI. Specifically, the bevy of AI-powered capabilities that Samsung’s flagship line is capable of.

The new phones are practically an AI trifecta. The S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, and S24 are running both local and cloud-based AI applications powered by tech like Google Gemini (a competitor for OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model). The phones have new AI-based video and photo editing tools, too, including a new feature that fills in the missing frames of photos and videos. Users will also be able to circle objects in a photo to resize them, isolate them, or move them around. What that means for the question of what a photo is... is anyone’s guess.

There’s also a feature that can translate your speech in real-time, and Samsung’s voice recorder is getting live transcriptions with speaker labels.
