Samsung boss wants another word for ‘smartphone’, now that the Galaxy S24 is at the doorstep

Samsung boss wants another word for ‘smartphone’, now that the Galaxy S24 is at the doorstep،

If you're one of those people who are tired of hearing the letters “A” and “I” (in that exact order), well, brace yourself and get ready to hear a lot more about AI in a near future.

One of the reasons is that the Galaxy S24 range is upon us, and each device in this series qualifies as an “AI phone”. This appears to be something more than just marketing, since the Galaxy S24 series will indeed be Samsung's first phone with built-in AI (artificial intelligence) and LLM (Large Language Model) capabilities (via SamMobile).

“AI smartphone” just doesn’t sound very good to TM Roh, president of Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience), who has apparently asked executives and employees to come up with a catchy new word to replace the somewhat clunky “AI phone/smartphone” . Or maybe “AI phone” sounds too familiar to “iPhone”…

The report draws parallels between the role of the iPhone when the world adopted the term “smartphone” and the overall impact it had on the mobile telecommunications era. The idea is for Galaxy S24 do the same and push the market to its next stage with AI at its heart.

New Galaxy S24 series could integrate AI features such as:

Meeting notes and translation: 10-voice identification
Circular search: circling something on the screen will initiate an automatic AI search
Title writing: the S24 Ultra will be able to do a complete essay on a subject, ChatGPT style

According to the tipster, these brand new AI features will be available on the Galaxy S24 Ultra with Samsung's One UI 6.1 interface. Additionally, the device is expected to bring AI-based features such as generative wallpapers (Google Pixel style), weather effects on the lock screen, Magic Editor style photo editing, and more Again. One of the most impressive rumors concerns live translation capabilities during calls or meetings and intelligent battery defense system.

January 17, 2024: This is the date when all of this – and hopefully much more – will be revealed.
