Samsung hints about the plans for Galaxy AI after its free tenure ends in 2025

Samsung Galaxy AI launched with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. However, soon it was learned that Galaxy AI will remain free on these devices till 2025 only. It was also reported that AI features provided by third parties may come under different terms. Now, we have a sliver of clarification from the company that gives some context to what could happen after the 2025 deadline.

Samsung Galaxy AI after 2025

In an interview with ET Telecom, Samsung Mobile chief TM Roh revealed they are factoring in customers who want to pay as well as those who don’t. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t come up with actual plans for monetising Galaxy AI after 2025.

He said, “According to our analysis, there are various needs for mobile AI. So, there will be consumers who will be satisfied with using the AI capabilities for free. Then there could also be customers who wish for even more powerful AI capabilities, and even pay for them. So, in the future decision making, we will take all these factors into consideration.”

In his words, there is a hint towards the arrival of more capable Galaxy AI features for paid customers. The exact details are however still known. Even Samsung doesn’t know of them, it seems.

Meanwhile, older Samsung phones like the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 as well as upcoming phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are also confirmed to get the Galaxy AI features. So, we are also keen to know how the Galaxy AI treatment for these devices will be after 2025.

In other Samsung news, also from the same source, we read TM Roh revealing that Samsung laptops would be made at the Noida factory in India and that the same would start to ship this year itself.

“The setup, preparation is currently underway, and we will be able to make supplies from this year,” says Mr Roh.
