Samsung has offered Galaxy AI features for free since introducing them with the Galaxy S24 series. However, that could change soon, as the company appears to be testing a paid subscription that would give users access to more AI features and higher usage limits.
Samsung Galaxy AI Premium subscription: What’s changing?
According to a report by SammyGuru, Samsung is testing a new Galaxy AI Premium subscription through an early-access programme. The trial allows selected users to try the paid offering, with Samsung reportedly promising to refund any money spent during the testing period once the programme ends.
Under the proposed subscription model, Samsung appears to be splitting Galaxy AI features into free and paid offerings. Users on the free tier will continue to get access to what the company calls Standard features, although their usage will come with certain limits.
These include Browsing Assist, Now Brief, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, Samsung Keyboard, Photo Assist and Personal Agent. Once users exhaust their available usage, they may have to purchase additional credits or move to a paid subscription for more access.
The reported Max plan, meanwhile, could offer up to four times the usage available on the free tier. This means users who regularly rely on Galaxy AI tools for editing photos, browsing content or other everyday tasks may get more room to use them without running into usage restrictions.
It is worth noting that a separate report from SamMobile has also spotted Starter, Plus and Pro plan names within the Galaxy AI Premium app. However, the subscription structure appears to still be under development, and Samsung has not confirmed which plans will eventually make it to the public.
Galaxy AI Premium could bring AI video generation and app automation
More than just higher usage limits, the paid subscription could introduce features that are not currently part of the standard Galaxy AI offering.
One of them is Gen Video, which is described in the app as a tool that can generate AI videos from photos. This could allow users to turn their existing pictures into short videos using artificial intelligence, without needing a separate video editing application.
Another upcoming feature is Bixby Action. According to its description in the app, it will be able to automate tasks across different applications. While Samsung has not explained how this feature will work, it could make Bixby more useful by allowing it to handle certain tasks instead of simply responding to voice commands.
The third feature is called Daily Briefing. There is no detailed description available for it yet, so it is unclear how it will differ from Samsung’s existing Now Brief feature.
These features could make Galaxy AI more useful for people who regularly depend on their phones for everyday tasks. However, their actual usefulness will depend on how Samsung implements them and which devices receive access.
Samsung Galaxy AI Premium pricing could start at $4.99
Samsung has not officially announced subscription prices yet. However, reports mention a monthly charge of $4.99 and an annual subscription costing $47.99.
If these figures turn out to be true, the annual plan would offer a lower overall cost than paying for the subscription every month. The app also shows options for purchasing additional credits, although their prices have not been revealed.
Do remember that all of this information is still based on reports and Samsung hasn’t officially announced anything as of now. Keep watching this space for more updates.
