Samsung aren’t saying that they will charge for Galaxy AI feature but the fine print says the following:
“Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties.”
This is why I use a Pixel - sadly Google is gonna see this and say “great idea!” and charge for the Pixel AI features too now lol
Google is doing this for several years now already.
Go to Photos as and a lot of features are behind Google One or 1st year of Pixel purchase.
Samsung is just getting inspiration from likes of Google and Apple, and not the other way around.
I get constaly nagged to enable cloud backup.
Google. I have 15GB you gave me for free of which 7 or so are used by various stuff.
I don’t even have the space to off-load to it.
And I have an on-site backup so F you.
From my understanding they didn’t just get inspiration from Google, it’s actually using their system and their help to build (both running on Google Gemini).
