Samsung May Launch a Paid Subscription for Galaxy AI Features
Samsung could be developing a paid “Galaxy AI Premium” subscription for the artificial intelligence features on its Galaxy smartphones. A “Max” plan with a higher usage limit has been discovered in an unreleased app. If the subscription launches, the free features will not be disabled entirely, but limits may be placed on their use. Samsung has not officially announced the plan yet.
According to information found in the app, the subscription could cost $4.99 per month (approximately 8 manats). An annual package could be sold for $47.99 (approximately 82 manats). The leak indicates that the service will be divided into free and paid packages. Once the free limit is reached, users may have to purchase additional credits for the artificial intelligence features or switch to the “Max” plan.
“Photo Assist,” “Browsing Assist,” “Now Brief,” “Creative Studio,” and “Samsung Keyboard” are said to remain in the free package. However, a limit may be placed on the number of times these tools can be used. Once the limit is reached, the features will stop working, and credits or a subscription will be required to continue. The company previously said that the core Galaxy AI features would remain free.
The “Max” plan would allow the features to be used 4 times as much as with the free package. The leak names 3 additional features for paid users, but provides information about only 2 of them. “Gen Video” uses artificial intelligence to turn photos into videos. “Bixby Action” makes the virtual assistant more useful by automatically carrying out tasks across apps.
The app also requires version “20271” of the artificial intelligence system. This code is believed to refer to the future Galaxy S27 series, and the subscription could be announced alongside those smartphones. It is not yet known which devices will be eligible for the service. People who join the early testing program may try the subscription and receive a refund for the money they spend during the trial period. Prices and features may change before the official announcement.
