* Samsung is rumoured to be developing AI technology for the Galaxy S24 series.
* The Galaxy S24 lineup is expected to feature a 144Hz display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
* Samsung also has partnered with Naver Corporation to develop AI chips and other tools.

Samsung has barred its employees from using chatbots like ChatGPT, but it could also be in the midst of developing its own AI technology, according to one tipster, who states that it will be made for next year’s Galaxy S24 lineup.

Samsung could be developing a dedicated chatbot for the Galaxy S24 series to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

The rumor was posted by Ice Universe on Twitter, who ‘confirmed’ that Samsung is developing ‘some’ AI technology for the Galaxy S24 family, though he did not go into much detail on how it would work.

Thankfully, he does mention in the thread that this technology would have no relation to Bixby, and after that, he writes, ‘forget Bixby.’

While Ice Universe’s tweets do not shed sufficient information regarding Samsung’s plans, it is possible the Korean giant could finally be putting an end to its voice assistant and introducing something far superior.

The Galaxy S24 series may get its own chatbot to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Only yesterday, it was reported that Apple’s engineers were working on a similar chatbot and dubbed it ‘Apple GPT,’ so it is not surprising to hear that Samsung is also working on a similar technology.

Unfortunately, the tipster’s tweet leaves more questions than answers, such as if Samsung is phasing out Bixby in favor of a smarter chatbot or will the arrival of the chatbot significantly improve Bixby.

Samsung is expected to introduce the successor to the Galaxy S23 series in the form of the Galaxy S24 lineup next year. The key specifications of the Galaxy S24 series were leaked a couple of weeks back.
The leak indicated that the S24 lineup will boast a 144Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and a 200MP camera.

Another leak also revealed that the S24 series will even come with Exynos 2400 SoC. Now, in a recent development, some more information about the S24 lineup is disclosed courtesy of tipster Ice Universe.

According to the information shared by tipster Ice Universe on Twitter, Samsung is developing some AI technology for the Galaxy S24 series.

Furthermore, the tipster also mentioned in the Twitter thread that the AI technology has nothing to do with Bixby. Currently, other details are not known as to how Samsung plans to integrate AI technology for the S24 series.

The past report indicates that Samsung has informed its employees in an internal memo to stop using generative AI tools like Bard and ChatGPT, citing reasons for security risk.

Meanwhile, it was also reported earlier that Samsung has joined hands with Naver Corporation to develop AI chips and tools.

The report published by a Korean publisher revealed that under the AI partnership, Samsung will provide data to Naver related to semiconductors in order to create generative AI which will then be further enhanced by Samsung.

It is reported that through this collaboration Samsung will secure an in-house AI tool that can improve the company’s productivity and prevent the potential leak of sensitive business secrets that could occur using platforms developed by other companies.

Once the AI tool is developed it will be available in Korean and will be used by Samsung’s Device Solution (DS) division.
Samsung and Naver are expected to launch the said AI tool in October. However, Samsung and Naver are yet to announce the development of the AI tool.

In a piece of related news, it was also reported earlier by Android Authority that Samsung is planning to integrate ChatGPT within the browser in some form. The integration of ChatGPT in the Samsung browser could be an experimental lab feature notes Android Authority.
Currently, no more information is available as to how ChatGPT integration in the Samsung browser will help users.

We also do not know what sort of advantages the Galaxy S24 models will have when users get this AI technology up and running or how the company will integrate it into its own applications.

We did talk about how Qualcomm is partnering with Meta to bring on-device AI to flagship smartphones next year, and given that the Galaxy S24 will ship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, there might be some kind of integration with the chipset.

Just like us, Ice Universe’s Twitter followers have similar questions, which the tipster has failed to answer. However, with the Galaxy S24 lineup launching early year, we will learn more about Samsung’s rumored AI technology.

Samsung Galaxy S24: Design and Specs

Although we haven’t heard much about the Galaxy S24’s design, it seems unlikely that it will radically change from what the company offered for the past few years.
2023 has seen Samsung align its design language across phones, including low-end models like the Galaxy A14. It’s difficult to imagine a revolutionary new design on deck for 2024, but anything’s possible.

There is a rumor that Samsung could scrap the Galaxy S24+ from its lineup, leaving only the smaller, entry-level Galaxy S24 and the productivity-focused Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The company has launched a trio of smartphones every year since the Galaxy S10, with the Plus model dating back to the Galaxy S8 — and even earlier, if you count the Galaxy S6 Edge as a prototype. It makes some sense.

The Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra are fairly similar, and ditching the cheaper of the two could drive some consumers to spend more on their next smartphone.

It’s early days for these rumors, though, and we’ll have to hold on for a while longer before we know Samsung’s plans for next year’s lineup.

As for the specs, it’s a little easier to assume. The as-yet-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will likely power the Galaxy S24 in the U.S. and internationally.

The two companies teamed up to craft a custom variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23 last year, and it’s hard to imagine that partnership coming to an end.

Meanwhile, expect between 8GB and 12GB of RAM in these phones, as well as various storage levels depending on your budget. Basically, it’s another modern smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S24: Software

Although we have yet to see One UI 6 — based on Android 14 — in action, we know it’s coming. It’ll likely arrive on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 before making its way to the entire Galaxy S23 lineup.

The Galaxy S24, meanwhile, will launch with One UI 6, or even One UI 6.1, with a handful of new features building on top of Android 14. We’ll have to wait for One UI 6 to launch in beta before we know what to expect.

Samsung Galaxy S24: Cameras

The Galaxy S23 Ultra packed a whopping 200MP primary camera, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see things get even more extreme this year.

With the move to 1-inch sensors becoming commonplace throughout Europe and China, don’t be surprised if Samsung steps up to compete, thereby bringing larger sensors to the U.S. in the process.

Meanwhile, let’s talk about the rest of the camera lineup. Samsung usually relies on its ISOCELL sensors for primary lenses. The Galaxy S23 Ultra, for example, used the ISOCELL HP2 for its main 200MP shooter.

To that end, we expect the company will stick with its in-house sensors, and this time, it might extend beyond the main lens.

Earlier this year, the company filed a trademark for ISOCELL Zoom and ISOCELL Zoom Pro in South Korea and the U.K., suggesting the brand could replace the Sony IMX sensors it uses for its zoom lenses in upcoming phones.

A trademark is far from a confirmation that Samsung’s next phones will sport fresh sensors, but it’s a big clue into the future of the Galaxy S-series.

Samsung Galaxy S24: Price and Release Date

Earlier this year, Samsung kept its pricing and release dates fairly constant compared to 2022.
The Galaxy S23 series featured the same February launch window and staggered prices ($800 for the S23, $1,000 for the S23+, and $1,200 for the S23 Ultra) as the S22 before it.

Whether the Galaxy S24 will follow suit is unclear, but it’s our best guess.
However, inflation remains a factor in the phone industry, and a small price bump to any of the company’s models is easy to imagine. With the S24+ potentially missing from the lineup, a higher price for the base S24 is possible.

The release window seems unlikely to move from its usual late January or early February launch period.

Faqs

1) Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra could get Stacked Battery tech, 65W fast charging.Details?

Ans) The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone is rumored to feature 65W fast charging technology, derived from stacked batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs), according to the tipster, RGcloudS.

Samsung is said to be in the prototyping phase of this technology, with plans to incorporate it primarily in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and possibly in the Galaxy S24 Plus.

However, due to increased costs, it is unlikely to be implemented across all three flagship models in 2023. In addition to the advanced battery technology, Samsung may introduce 65W fast charging in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Plus.

To address overheating concerns, a cooling gel will be applied to the stacked battery. This technology not only increases battery capacity but also enhances device durability by making them shock-resistant and reducing the risk of swelling.

As per the report, Samsung is expected to initiate production at its Cheonan plant in Seoul, but the necessary manufacturing equipment for stacked batteries has not yet arrived. A pilot run of these batteries is scheduled in China, but due to limited quantities, they will likely be reserved for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

As for other specifications, the Galaxy S24 Ultra may feature minor upgrade to its 10x zoom sensor, while the Exynos 2400 chips might make a comeback in the Galaxy S24 series.

Samsung is preparing for the launch of its new foldable smartphones at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Korea on July 26. Alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5, the event is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Tab S9 series.

2) Samsung preps ‘some AI technology’ for Galaxy S24.Details?

Ans) Next week, Samsung will lift the curtain from the bundle of new innovative devices. Meanwhile, we are already hearing more and more about the next year’s flagship phones. A new leak reveals Samsung is developing some AI technology for the Galaxy S24 series.

Trusted tipster IceUniverse today revealed that Samsung is working on the development of “some AI technology” for the Galaxy S24 series, likely to launch in early 2024. The source didn’t reveal much regarding AI technology but said that it’s not about Bixby.

Since the launch of ChatGPT, smartphone makers are exploring possible ways to utilize generative AI capabilities in mobile products. If the leak is correct, there will be a significant role of the chipset that will be used in the Galaxy S24 to introduce AI capabilities.
