Suggested replies[5], previously only available on Galaxy Z Flip6, will now be available on Galaxy S24 series devices — offering quick replies from the wrist when connected to Galaxy Watch7 or Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Powerful Productivity From Anywhere

The latest expansion of Galaxy AI features can transform any Galaxy device into a powerful productivity tool. Note Assist[6] makes time-consuming meeting notes a thing of the past, enabling translation and note summaries, while the newly added transcript feature can quickly create notes based on voice recordings. For added convenience, PDF Overlay Translation[7] can effortlessly translate and overlay text in PDF files or even translate text in images and graphs. And Sketch to Image[8] helps enhance photos by generating a selection of image options that perfectly complement the original image based on simple sketches. Also, the advanced search capabilities of Circle to Search[9] with Google quickly generate search results and now offer step-by-step instructions for solving complex math problems, as well as a newly added Sound Search[10] feature.

Advanced Creativity Made Easy

Galaxy AI is enabling everyday users to create professional-grade content, whether they’re an amateur photographer or aspiring content creator. Instantly create portraits in a variety of styles such as 3D cartoon or watercolor with Portrait Studio[11]. Plus, Instant Slow-mo[12] users can seamlessly slow a video down while maintaining smooth image quality before quickly saving and sharing in just a few simple steps.
