Samsung Galaxy AI will translate calls for you starting early next year; coming to Galaxy S24?

Like seemingly everyone else, Samsung is jumping head-first into the world of artificial intelligence. Its upcoming offering, Galaxy AI, is said to be the company’s “most comprehensive intelligence offering to date” and is promised to offer everything “from barrier-free communication, to simplified productivity, to unconstrained creativity.”

The suite of services will include both on-device AI processing and cloud-based functionality provided through collaborations with “like-minded industry leaders,” at the same time protecting user data through Samsung’s privacy and security measures. The first feature, slated to be released early next year, is AI Live Translate Call.

As the name suggests, this function will provide real-time audio and text translations for calls in another language, making talking to the other person on the line “about as simple as turning on closed captions when you stream a show.” It’s built into the native call app, and all processing is done on device, so the call never leaves the phone. As yet, Samsung has not confirmed which languages will be supported by this feature, which will be enabled on an upcoming Galaxy AI phone—presumably the Galaxy S24.

On top of that, Samsung is building its own generative AI system called Samsung Gauss, which it showed at the Samsung AI Forum 2023 in Seoul this week. Named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, it consists of three models—the ChatGPT-style Gauss Language, Gauss Code and the DALL-E-esque Gauss Image. While currently only used to enhance employee productivity, the company is reportedly looking to add Samsung Gauss to the S24 in the first half of the year, according to The Korea Times.

All this ties in nicely with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which will likely power the S24. The first Qualcomm chip to be designed with generative AI in mind, it comes with the Qualcomm AI Engine that supports multi-modal generative AI models such as large language models, language vision models and automatic speech recognition, processing up to ten billion parameters on device. The Qualcomm Sensing Hub also offers a 3.5 times improvement in AI performance.
