Samsung began integrating AI on its smartphones starting with the Galaxy S24 earlier this year. There are already many older Galaxy devices that are getting AI features. Although the company is still actively improving Galaxy AI, with the recent launch of Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, it seems that they still want to create a phone model that only focuses on AI, Completely different from other AI phone models on the market.

Speaking to the Australian Financial Review, Samsung's head of mobile business TM Roh said the company is currently working on research and development efforts to create true "AI phones", which "will probably be different". Completely different from Samsung's current phones."

What will the AI ​​phone model that TM Roh wants to mention look like? Unfortunately, he did not share details. But the "complete difference" here shows that this device may be a hardware change. Although the concept of an “AI phone” has been around for the past two years, there doesn't seem to be a device with dedicated hardware that fully supports AI features. Instead, manufacturers often add simple AI features, or use third-party AI services, to a regular smartphone model.

Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold6 have a big advantage from supporting S Pen. They can leverage AI to turn a rough sketch into a realistic image. However, AI is not only used to edit and create images but also audio, text, video, 3D, and almost any content format you can find. Therefore, a specialized hardware configuration to support AI is really necessary.

There are a number of completely different AI-enabled devices on the market today, but none have been successful yet. Therefore, this may be a risky step for Samsung. However, with the Galaxy AI development platform and its abundant research and development potential, we can hope for surprises that the Korean company will bring in the future.
