It was almost a year ago that some Samsung representatives made very broad and big announcements for 2024 At that time, they announced that they wanted to be an AI pioneer – hugely significant for the entire market At the same time, there was talk of the end of the classic smartphone.
Samsung wants to be an AI pioneer in 2024 become. While the company is still wary of artificial intelligence in 2023, it should now fundamentally change. Samsung has implemented plans to integrate AI functions into its smartphones and has seen itself in a pioneering role comparable to Apple’s launch of the first iPhone.
South Koreans have already registered trademarks such as “AI smartphone” and “AI phone,” suggesting that the term “smartphone” may soon become obsolete. The then new Galaxy S24 series came with many AI functions for the first time and marked the introduction of “Galaxy AI”.
According to rumours, Samsung put aside camera development in favor of AI integration while developing the Galaxy S24 series. Thanks to the high sales figures of Galaxy smartphones, Samsung was finally able to significantly accelerate the spread of AI functions in everyday life.
Today we know that Samsung may offer the most AI functions in smartphone software till date. But the smartphone is not extinct yet. Instead, AI is an extension of some of the apps we’re used to, but it’s still far from a dominant feature on our mobile devices.
Samsung will make the next attempt in 2025. However, the Galaxy S25 series only continues. Entering the world of smart glasses will be even more exciting with Android XR. In fact, at least with the potential to make the smartphone less important to many consumers.
However, it will be a rocky road as we have been waiting for the next new thing for years, but so far no one has succeeded. The classic smartphone will probably live for a few more years.
