Broaden Horizons
with Innovation

A daily life where you can communicate without language barriers and create all you imagine with just a few touches. The mobile experience in the age of AI began with redefining every user touchpoint. After a great deal of consideration and attempts, Galaxy AI was completed, not just as a feature accessible only to a small few who know how to use it, but for everyone. It breaks down the thick barrier between technology and daily life, and introduces the new normal made by Galaxy AI.

I contacted you because I had a question. Can I talk to you for a moment?” Above the white woman is the English translation of what the Asian woman said. In the middle, you can see the simultaneous interpretation UX screen of the Galaxy S24 series.

Barrier-free Communication

Wave goodbye to the days when language barriers complicated communication. Using Galaxy AI's real-time translation feature, you can communicate easily with speakers of other languages. During a call with Live Translate, you can speak in your language and the other person in theirs, and it’ll be translated in real time and displayed on the screen, allowing for seamless communication. If you’re talking face-to-face, tap the Interpreter button in the Quick panel for real-time translation. When sending messages via the Samsung Keyboard, it not only translates but also corrects spelling and grammar, and changes writing styles. Galaxy AI leaves language barriers behind and opens a new path towards the world you desire.

Supported languages and features may vary by country, region, and model.

    It's not always easy to capture fleeting moments on camera the way you want. When that happens, try using the Generative edit to move objects wherever you want them or even adjust the horizon. You’ll be amazed at how the image will naturally fill in the gaps as you edit.

    When you want to express yourself through your wallpaper, you can choose keywords in the prompt that appears after selecting an image category. You can decorate your lock screen to fit your style, with wallpapers created from the commands you entered. In this way, Galaxy AI helps you create freely, even if you don’t know how to use complicated editing tools.

Our World, in
Harmony
with Progress

The age of mobile AI has been welcomed with a mix of anticipation and excitement, but on the other side of that excitement is a vague sense of how to use this technology. Moreover, anyone who’s used generative AI technology even once is likely to have increased concerns about privacy and security issues. How can we use new technology to our advantage as it gradually permeates our everyday lives? Discover the considerations and efforts of Samsung designers through the following interviews with Scott Jeonggun Choi and Heri Na, Galaxy AI Designers.

    Scott Jeonggun Choi and Heri Na, Galaxy AI Designer

  • Can you tell us about how Galaxy AI came to be?
    Choi Even before entering a new phase with generative AI, our research was already underway on how to create new mobile experiences for continuous rapid shifts within everyday life. After a lot of discussion, Galaxy AI was completed by reinterpreting parts of apps we’ve used frequently and applying AI technology in a specialized way for each app. Starting with the apps we use often and experiencing it gradually, thereby lowering the entry barrier of AI — that was our goal for Galaxy AI.

    Could you introduce Galaxy AI’s features?
    Na Galaxy AI makes it easier for you to reach your goals by bridging the gap between your unconscious, habitual struggles and your time, effort, and personal capabilities. It can be divided into four main categories: the first is 'Productivity', which helps you be more productive and get more out of your day. Think of it as experiences that make life easier, like summarizing notes or converting them to fit the format. ‘Creativity’ is about making it easier for everyone to experience creative activities that used to be exclusive to experts, like moving the subject in photos or filling in blank spaces. ‘Communication’ is about breaking down language barriers when calling or messaging. Lastly, a prime example of ‘Personalization’ would be creating wallpapers with generative AI or letting your lock screen reflect changes in the weather or time, so you can express yourself more freely.

    Given that many users still feel unfamiliar with AI technology, what aspects did you prioritize for their benefit?
    Choi As I mentioned before, it was crucial to lower the entry barrier for new features. That’s why we’ve made it simple to try out AI technology on your smartphone in the apps you use most. For example, when retouching images, there’s a limit to how much you can do with simple functions like brightness/color correction, leveling, and cropping. But now, you can use generative editing features like moving objects or expanding backgrounds with just a few taps, for more dramatic results than ever before.

  • Creating a seamless AI experience seems like a big challenge…
    Na It would be ideal if the output appeared immediately after pressing the button, but it can take a long while. So, to make the time it takes for images or text to be generated feel more exciting, it’s designed with visual interaction effects that make it feel like magical moments, along with text like ‘Sculpting new scenery.' As the technology grew step by step, designers from all fields, including UI, GUI, VI, and UX writers, worked together closely to design around its limitations.

    There have been issues with hallucinations* arising in generative AI.
    Na To prevent hallucinations, we’ve been collaborating with the development team for a while now. We established appropriate standards by conducting tests with the development team to prevent false results or a bad experience for the user, like determining the minimum number of characters for an accurate summary or how many degrees a photo can be tilted to produce meaningful results. It was really interesting, it felt like we were handling a living creature.

    Hallucination: An error that occurs when AI processes information, meaning it generates inaccurate or false results.

    There are also concerns about privacy and security since processing is based on information entered by the user.
    Choi Early in the project, both the R&D team and UX team agreed that personal conversations should be considered highly sensitive user information. So apps based on having conversations like phone calls and messages were made to handle functions on-device. Privacy protection is non-negotiable, and since the main purpose of communication is to facilitate conversation, we decided to stick with on-device processing, even if it means users go through downloading language packages first.

    On the other hand, we made sure to thoroughly inform the user and get consent for things that need to be processed through a server. We inform and separately obtain user consent that nothing will be stored on the server or used for learning purposes to improve AI functions. Additionally, we added a setting to the UI to block functions through the server all at once, so users can keep their data more secure.

  • Since this was a new endeavor, I heard various departments collaborated on it.
    Choi To ensure responsible design, we worked together with various divisions including R&D, Experience Planning, CX Strategy, Legacy, and Global Privacy. The UI was likely to be complicated because of the need for user notices and consent. So the UX team took the lead in coordinating with the relevant divisions to ensure we maintained a unified style, while also staying within the law.

    What has the user response been like to the Galaxy S24 series since its launch?
    Na A lot of people said how easy it is now to travel abroad or buy from overseas, which could be tough because of language barriers. Whenever I hear good feedback from people who’ve tried it out, I share how rewarding it feels with the designers I worked with.
