Samsung has announced its Galaxy Unpacked event for January 17, 2024, where it will unveil the new Galaxy S24 series with a focus on AI, potentially in camera zoom features. The event will be livestreamed from San Jose, California. The Galaxy S24 lineup is expected to include advanced specs such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, with the S24 Plus and Ultra models rumored to have 12GB of RAM. Features like AI-powered photo editing and live translation in the Samsung Phone app are anticipated. Samsung is also offering a $50 credit for US customers who reserve a new Galaxy phone ahead of the event.
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S24 series will emphasize AI features, such as Generative Edit for photo editing, Live Translate for real-time translations, and enhancements to Samsung Notes and the keyboard app. These features will require both a Samsung and Google account, and while some will operate offline, others will need an internet connection. The official launch of the Galaxy S24 is expected soon, with more details to be revealed about the AI functionalities and their connectivity requirements.
Samsung is reportedly enhancing its camera sensors with AI technology to capture images beyond the visible spectrum by 2027. This could include features similar to thermal imaging or fluorescent photography without the need for specialized sensors. The technology might be used in various sectors, including automotive and medical, and is part of Samsung's broader goal to develop "humanoid sensors" that mimic human senses, aiming for camera sensors with resolutions comparable to the human eye.
