Galaxy AI

Galaxy AI is Samsung's umbrella name for the AI features on Galaxy devices, such as real-time translation, summarizing texts, and editing photos.

What does Galaxy AI mean?

There is no single app behind it. The features are spread across the system: in the phone app, in Samsung Notes, in the gallery, on the keyboard.

Some of it computes directly on the device, some in the cloud, which then needs an internet connection. Some features are developed together with Google, for example Circle to Search and Gemini. Which features a device gets depends on the model and the software version.

A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
