This should not come as a surprise, given the fact that Samsung has announced "Gauss", its own take on generative AI. This AI can do different tasks like writing emails, summarizing documents, creating and editing images, and more.

Samsung has also announced that its smartphones will be able to translate calls in real-time using on-device AI, ensuring both privacy as well as efficiency, since the phone does not have to send and receive data for this feature to work.

Another leak suggests that Google Pixel 8's AI wallpapers feature is also coming to Samsung's Galaxy phones.

Apart from the AI features, Samsung's next-generation flagship smartphone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm Inc.'s QCOM Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

A previous report also suggested that Samsung might borrow a key feature from Apple's iPhone 15 Pro – titanium frames – in its upcoming Galaxy S24 models.

Why It Matters: Samsung is pinning its hopes on AI to ship 35 million units of Galaxy S24 series smartphones, according to reports. This target is over 10% higher than the volumes of Galaxy S23.

Samsung has also moved up the launch timeline, exactly as reported before, to compete with Apple Inc.'s iPhone 15 series.
