Samsung‘s mobile chief, T.M. Roh, recently shed some light on the future of Galaxy AI, the company’s latest suite of AI features that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. While he confirmed Galaxy AI will remain free until 2025, the big question remains — what happens after that?

Samsung has invested heavily in Galaxy AI, and it’s currently available on the latest Galaxy S24 series. While it’s free until 2025, Roh admitted they haven’t yet decided what the future holds beyond that. However, he hinted at the possibility of introducing more advanced AI features for paying subscribers.

“According to our analysis, there are different needs for mobile AI,” said Roh. “There will be consumers who will be satisfied with using the AI capabilities for free. Then there could also be customers who wish for even more powerful AI capabilities and even pay for them. So, in the future decision-making, we will take all these factors into consideration.”

With over a year to go before the free period ends, there’s no immediate update on the paid model. Samsung previously remained tight-lipped about it when asked by Android Authority.

In the meantime, Samsung remains optimistic about Galaxy AI’s future. They aim to bring the technology to over 100 million devices worldwide in 2024. This includes older flagship phones like the Galaxy S23 series and upcoming foldable phones like the Z Fold 6 and Flip 6.

So, while Galaxy AI’s future beyond 2025 remains uncertain, Samsung is clearly betting big on its potential. Whether it stays free or adopts a paid model for advanced features, only time will tell.
