Samsung mobile phones have actively introduced Galaxy AI functions in recent years. From call translation, article summarization to AI photo editing, many things can be completed directly through the mobile phone. However, the latest news points out that Samsung intends to launch paid services for Galaxy AI starting next year. Although existing functions can still be used for free, there may be usage limits in the future, and you will have to pay extra if you want to use more.

According to foreign media reports, Samsung is testing the Galaxy AI paid service, and relevant clues have appeared in the test screen and code of the application. Judging from the exposed content, Samsung seems to adopt a "free + paid" model. General users can still use basic AI functions for free. If they use it more frequently, they have to purchase AI points or subscribe to a paid plan to obtain more usage times and advanced functions.

For Samsung mobile phone users, the biggest concern is that Galaxy AI is currently free. Will it start charging in the future? According to current news, Samsung does not plan to change all functions to paid. Existing functions such as browsing smart assistant, photo smart assistant, creative studio, Now Brief personal headlines, etc. are expected to continue to be provided for free, but some functions may have usage limits. Once the free limit is exceeded, additional fees will be required to upgrade.

Samsung has not officially confirmed

As for the actual charging method, it is still unclear at this stage. In addition to increasing the number of uses, paying users are expected to enjoy exclusive advanced AI functions, such as converting still photos into AI videos. Foreign media have even speculated that Samsung may choose to launch related services when the new flagship S27 series debuts next year. However, these are still in the leaking stage and Samsung officials have not yet confirmed it.

However, the outside world still holds a wait-and-see attitude towards the prospect of Galaxy AI charging. After all, there are more and more AI subscription service options. If Samsung does not have enough attractive exclusive features, it may not be easy for users to spend extra money.
