Samsung plans to expand Galaxy AI beyond smartphones. The company says it is optimizing its AI (Artificial Intelligence) features for more device categories, including wearables. The Korean firm aims to use AI to bring intelligent health experiences to its smartwatches and other wearable products.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI will be available for wearables
Galaxy AI is a suite of AI features that Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S24 series. The company has built AI all over the devices. The new flagships use AI to translate and transcribe calls in real-time, rephrase your messages according to the specified tone, move or remove objects from photos, improve the camera output, add frames between those recorded by the camera to create slow-motion videos, organize and summarize notes, and more.
Samsung says it is just getting started. “While developing the Galaxy S24 series, we had many ideas and concepts that we wanted to bring to life. Galaxy users will be able to enjoy more Galaxy AI features that build on these ideas and concepts over time as Samsung continuously enhances and grows the mobile AI experience,” TM Roh, the company’s head of mobile business, said in a recent editorial on the Samsung Newsroom.
Roh said, “Galaxy wearables will use AI to enhance digital health and unlock a whole new era of expanded intelligent health experiences.” This expansion of Galaxy AI to wearables will begin soon, with select models picking it up first. It is unclear whether Samsung will bring AI features to existing Galaxy Watches or start with the Galaxy Watch 7 series later this year. The new watches will debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 in July or August.
The Galaxy Ring, Samsung’s first smart ring, is also expected to arrive at the same event. The company aims the ring at people who aren’t comfortable wearing a watch all the time. It will offer the same set of health features in a much smaller form factor and complement Galaxy Watches. The upcoming smart ring will reportedly be available in eight different sizes. It may also boast some AI-powered health features.
Older Samsung phones will also get the new AI features
Samsung plans to push Galaxy AI to over 100 million Galaxy devices this year. Before wearables, it may roll out the new AI features to older Galaxy smartphones. All flagship models launched since 2021 (Galaxy S21 and newer) and recent premium mid-range devices such as the Galaxy A54 will get Galaxy AI. The availability of features may vary depending on compatibility. We will let you know when Samsung begins the rollout.
