TL;DR

  • Samsung’s Galaxy AI Premium plan is expected to add features like Bixby Action, Daily Briefing, Gen Video, automation tools, and higher usage limits.
  • Current Galaxy AI features will stay free, including Browsing Assist, Creative Studio, Memory, Now Brief, Photo Studio, and more.
  • Samsung appears to be planning tiered AI credits and optional one-time packs, with usage caps for tasks like translations, summaries, and image generation.

Samsung has been steadily expanding Galaxy AI features across its flagship smartphones and tablets. For over a year, rumors have suggested that the company might eventually place some AI capabilities behind a paywall. Today, we can reveal the specific features coming to Samsung's premium tier, as well as what will remain free for all users.

Galaxy AI Premium features

The Galaxy AI Premium plan will introduce three key additions:

  • Bixby Action: It unlocks at the highest tier of Galaxy AI Premium. It allows you to create commands triggers and system routines for daily tasks. This is likely the same feature that can turn Bixby into an AI agent for your everyday routine tasks we recently reported about.
  • Daily Briefing: It is different from Now Brief, and is a part of the Plus tier.
  • Gen Video: Converts static photos into dynamic video clips. This feature is likely similar to what Google already offers via Gemini.
  • Galaxy Claw: Automates routine daily tasks using Galaxy AI.
  • Expanded AI Usage Limits: Increases processing allowances for heavy AI users.

Crucially, all existing Galaxy AI features currently available on Galaxy devices will remain free. Below is the list of all Galaxy AI Core (free tier) features.

  • Browsing Assist
  • Creative Studio
  • Memory
  • Now Brief
  • Photo Studio
  • and others

Galaxy AI usage limits

There appear to be three tiers of Galaxy AI plans:

  • Starter
  • Plus
  • Pro

AI usage limits appear to be at 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 credits, and they appear to Galaxy AI users as soon as their free usage runs out. Users can then pay for per use or pay separately by feature. They can always see remaining credits and expiration dates.

One-time AI credit packs can also be bought separate from the Galaxy AI Premium subscription. They are valid for three years from each purchase.

For image generation, text summarization, and language translations, there are three usage tiers:

  • Free: It offers 10 translations, 5 summaries, and 2 image generations per day.
  • Essential: It offers users 100 translations, 50 summaries, and 20 image generations per day.
  • Premium: This tier offers unlimited daily use for all three usecases.

However, these paid plans, their features, and pricing could change by the time Samsung actually launches them.
