Previous models could remove unwanted details from the frame, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Generative Edit can now extract objects, move, and resize them, automatically smoothing the area left behind. Photos can be reframed and have their orientation changed with AI-powered refill (Samsung will add a watermark to the image and its metadata to make clear it has been AI-manipulated), while normal videos can be switched into slow-motion with AI creating additional frames to avoid jerkiness.
It’s all part of what Samsung is calling Galaxy AI, a blend of on-device and — optionally — cloud-based processing for multimedia and more. Write messages with the onscreen keyboard or S Pen, and Galaxy AI can suggest tone changes whether you’re talking to a colleague or a friend. Samsung Notes now has Note Assist, with summaries, translations, and auto-formatting in notes, along with corrective fixes like straightening for handwriting.

The voice call app supports two-way, real-time translation in up to 13 languages and 17 dialects, and there’s language translation for text for up to 13 languages. Since that — like the Chat Assist tone adjustment — is built into the keyboard, it’ll work across both Samsung and third-party apps. An Interpreter app does live voice translation into text, all carried out on-device with no data connection required.
Voice Recorder can transcribe, translate, and differentiate text between different speakers, while Browser Assist can whip up instant AI-powered summaries and translations for the site you’re viewing. Circle any part of the screen after long-pressing the home screen button, and you can instantly image search with Google.
