The company has not yet announced details on pricing or specific service package
s for Galaxy AI, but the move suggests the company is looking to tap into the commercial potential of artificial intelligence technology, similar to competitors such as OpenAI and Microsoft.
The news that Samsung will charge for Galaxy AI has received mixed reactions from users. Some people think that this is understandable, because developing and maintaining AI features requires significant costs. However, many people also expressed disappointment and said that Samsung should continue to offer Galaxy AI for free to attract and retain users.
Currently, Samsung is focusing on expanding Galaxy Experience Spaces globally, giving users the opportunity to experience Galaxy AI features firsthand. However, the question of the future of Galaxy AI beyond 2025 remains open. Will Samsung adopt a similar charging model as its competitors or will it have a different strategy?
