[@MercyB3ats]

I beleive Samsung is going to release some type of on-demand Chat-GPT competitor that connects to a sever and causes for a subscription model (look at the chat-GPT model for example) that they will charge for, not the AI on-device phone features that are able to be done directly with the chipset capabilities. I don't think Samsung is so out of the loop they will just charge for standard features that all OEMs including apple will most likely provide for free when adopted. That's like saying Siri is free for 1 year after iOS 18, but then you gotta pay to use Siri on your device. It wouldn't happen. However, if Siri comes out with some type of generative AI that competes more with Chat-GPT and requires server maintenance, I could see that being free for 1 year and then charging (such as satellite phone connectivity tech)

[@MercyB3ats]

You have a cool vibe, - subbed!

How much of a drop do you think it will be because I’m debating on getting the s24 ultra already but if I see a deal for the s23 ultra I think I’ll go with that instead

[@MusicNotes2024]

The people who complained about longer software support are the same people to complain when the battery doesn't last over the same period of time and have to pay a small fee to get it replaced so the end complaining even more that they upgraded to a new phone

[@Droppadellic]

As much as I love my galaxy. If this happens, I’m going back the pixel line. Subscriptions just don’t sit right with me.

[@themedleb]

We people already pay for subscriptions to use AI because these things uses servers with expensive GPUs and power to generate images, text ... (Stable Diffusion, OpenAI, Midjourney, Rytr, Jasper, Frase, ... To name few) I see nothing wrong with that, the only special thing in here is that Samsung being one of the first major companies to integrate AI in the mobile industry. Oh and you only pay for the cloud based AI features like Live Translate, Note Assist in Samsung Notes, and Chat Assist, so the AI features that gets processed in the phone (without needing the cloud or internet) are free of course, like edit suggestions and translation tools.

[@Only1TReal]

"Everybody does month to month".. NOT ME!! As far as paying for AI.. I don't even care about AI at all. I wouldn't pay 1 cent for it

[@CJKnowsTECH]

lol the majority do month to month but I respect the paid in full too playa 😂

[@Only1TReal]

@@CJKnowsTECH I'm really not even excited for it but I'm ready for a new phone. It's like Samsung, Google nor Apple excites me. Plus I'm on Verizon so that's even more limited

[@waywardwest]

AI is what I'm least interested in. I'll probably spend most of my time initially turning all that off as much as I can. The first thing I've done since Bixby was introduced was disabling the settings to include the awful Bixby button when that was a thing.

[@SteveDensmore]

The Bixby button was great for remapping. Long hold for flashlight, double press and hold for screenshot, one press for back. It's one of the reasons I have a hard time letting go of my S10+.

[@ImchrisS420]

Trade ins with my carrier are great. Going to trade in my S21 Ultra and most likely pay 400-500 for the s24 ultra. If the AI is useful for content purposes than they'll for sure have an audience for it. I've been with Samsung since the S9 and I'm happy with my upgrades every time.

[@KrypteiaXi]

You must be happy with an AI subscription

[@christopherkinslow5432]

Same. Samsung gives great trade in prices

[@TimothyChase]

I might go with my carrier but I really want the 1Tb and year after year you can only get that through Samsung -- although this year you pay for the 512 Gb and get the 1Tb. Last year they only went up to 256Gb->512Gb. As for the subscription AI that some are is complaining about , it is only the cloud-based AI that they would be subscribing to and after two years. Much of the AI is onboard, including much of the foreign language translation. Looking forward to the unboxing and the photography tomorrow!

[@johnnysinssexmaster]

as an iPhone fan boy, I feel so offended when someone doesn't choose iphones

[@TimothyChase]

@@KrypteiaXi Just about all of the AI I will be interested in will likely be onboard and won't require a subscription. Still, I might like playing with some of the cloud-based services and I will be able to do that for free for two years. That seems generous on their part, and it will give me the chance to decide whether those additional services are worth it to me. More than enough time to decide whether they are worth a few dollars a month.

[@rammtastic]

Sounds more like a remixed s23 ultra. And that pay wall noise is ridiculous. I always tend to wait a few years until they do a "real" upgrade, I suggest yall do the same, if you have the s23 ultra that is

[@robertdimcneal4107]

Nope. Not going to pay for features they give for free then charge us.

[@themedleb]

@@mikoyeshiro963 Yeah, my main point is that it is optional, my advice to people is to just don't get used to it because it is a "free trial" basically, even though they don't say that.

I don't like how Samsung increased the price in the US on the Ultra after it was said there wouldn't be a price increase. The Ultra is 1299 vs 1199 and the trade in value is only $750.

[@KateKosmo]

There's actually 7 colors, 3 are exclusive on samsung.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

So that means the A.I. features are cloud based. So if you don’t have an internet connection most of it doesn’t work.

Some native and some cloud ☁️ based…

[@deepakbisht4957]

Well if an AI feature is cloud based and needs a lot of computations then it makes sense they will charge but I hope that's not the case like it will need High computations on cloud so that they will come up with a service based model...

[@redxblood85]

@@william_SMMA nah, they are going to leverage galaxy AI as the main feature of the phone. Pixel has had tons of AI features that you pay for, but you get those features through a Google photos sub.... If you don't own a pixel. If you own a pixel those features are included with the device at no charge. These features include magic eraser and even VPN. Tech gets better and it's gotten to the point where AI now is extremely capable, that's awesome. So now this means we have to pay for access to those features now? Does everything have to slowly become a subscription?

if the chip is what enables the ai, then those features shouldn't be paywalled, but i would understand models that aren't the S series to have the option to pay to have those ai features which would be processed in the cloud, that way it also builds a better incentive to upgrade to the S series the 7 years of os upgrades are sweet tho

[@SteveDensmore]

I couldn't care less about AI features on a phone. I'd rather disable them from the jump.

[@familiatrois3813]

I wonder if the rumored subscription would result in the flagship phones being subsidized. So, instead of owning the phone, you would "rent" it as part of the subscription for the AI capabilites and upgrade to the newer model every 1, 2, or 3 years.

[@tmarcelle4900]

But...by time they try to charge, they'll probably be a million free 3rd party AI apps to do the same or more tasks. Seems like a dumb move for Samsung to try and pull off

[@blacar3270]

U've got to pay to play. I remember when the first $1,000 phone came out, and people lost their minds. A few years later, we're praying for $1,000 flagships. The paid AI features will follow the same pattern

[@carbullzone953]

Im actually not interested in AI features so far. So I'm hoping I won't use them enough to get used to them.

That point is wrong. If Samsung states that the first year is free and then they will charge then sensible people know what they are buying and understand it and will buy or not.

Depends on the price. Google has a similar offering with their photo features and I don't mind paying $3 for the features, access to a VPN, and extra storage. If theyre giving you the chance to try it for the remainder of 2024 you can decide if its worth it. Samsung probably views it as a valuable feature and we can't argue that.....how much they decide to charge is another question. I want the 23 Ultra so I honestly dont care lol, just my opinion CJ.

No. Im not willing to pay...I always get a new phone every year...not this year.

[@chillywills1904]

I thought I had heard that all phones were going to get AI features. Maybe I misunderstood. But the question will still lay on how much and what's the benefits are.

[@adenjames2939]

I find it kinda dumb that they might make you pay for ai features because just about most of the phone is run by ai so that means ur going to be paying for the right to use your phone and another thing samsung has to stop doing is including useless apps on there devices they've been doing it for years and it's time for them to stop

I hope the AI subscription doesn't result in poor sales. Was considering getting s24 ultra this year but I'm 100% never going to pay for AI subscription. I'll rather buy Google 8 or iPhone 15 pro

[@kendregab7328]

I understand ! Trying to determine if I'm going to get the 24 Ultra, wait for iphone 16 to come out or get Iphone 15 pro max. Currently have a Samsung galaxy note10 plus. I got a Apple watch 9 for Christmas so I have hard decisions to make here ugh 🤔

[@anthonyschutz7201]

That's Google's thing to give you something for free, remove the service, and release a better version that you pay for. Like with photos. At least with my pixel 4a though i get to keep the free version until i get a new phone

[@stephanebertrand-pellisson5206]

You are right about paying for AI service is not right !

[@pierowashere]

A feature hidden a paywall is a total nope for me. Just yesterday I was hyped, 100% sure to sell my 14 pro max to get the S24 Ultra. This definitely will make me keep my phone current phone.

[@Criticalmaze]

You will sell your phone. Nobody needs a new phone every year

[@andyH_England]

Get use to it as businesses have to make money, MS is already doing it, Samsung will, and I am sure Apple and Google will follow, though Google may only include AI in its Pro model instead. You cannot freeload all the time!

[@aadhilayyoob8795]

It's not even confirmed yet. He heard it and it would just be a rumour probably. Don't think samsung would risk getting into legal problems and now after losing the highest sales numbers to apple in 2023, they wouldn't risk loss of customers just for a little money

[@miguelnava9012]

Make the screen completely flat again😩

[@craigward26]

This is the same as the pixel watch using Fitbit premium, there is no clear rule for what is chargeable so they can take away any feature at any point.

[@kimslifevlog]

I expected a subscription model I love Samsung will always have a Samsung phone but let’s be real they’re losing market share to apple. They’ve taken away everything loyal Samsung android users like about android it’s not as open as it used to be. Young ppl mainly get iPhones elderly ppl mainly get iPhones so they have to figure out how to stay in the game or end up like dare I say it blackberry or LG.

[@treblemix_]

If they keep something like that up they might as well just worry about home appliances
