More importantly, this is Qualcomm's first mobile platform built specifically for generative AI, and the third-generation Snapdragon 8 achieves up to 98% performance improvement and 40% energy efficiency improvement compared to the second-generation Snapdragon 8, and supports models with up to 10 billion parameters on the device side, enabling AI innovative services and experiences. The Snapdragon team not only brings high-performance AI to the platform, but also injects leading generative AI capabilities into the entire platform system, making it a master of device-side intelligence.
Real-time translation of calls, communication without borders
Next, we will elaborate on a number of new AI experience methods provided by the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, and first introduce the enhancements of the call function. The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, many friends have plans to travel abroad, and often encounter language communication barriers abroad, although users can temporarily cramle through such and such translation apps, but third-party applications are uneven, and the operation efficiency and accuracy are often difficult to meet expectations, and even some services need to be paid separately.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series brings a new real-time call translation function, which allows users to call this service directly using the native call function, making smooth conversations between different languages a reality, making it easier and more direct to communicate with foreigners in scenarios such as booking hotels, restaurants, and online ride-hailing. This new AI-powered feature now supports 13 languages, including Japanese, Korean, Thai, Hindi, and Vietnamese, in addition to Chinese and English, making it easy for users to travel to most of Asia's most popular travel destinations.
It is understood that the Galaxy AI's real-time call translation function is a further evolution of chip-level real-time voice translation capabilities, and its implementation process is based on completely offline AI technology, which not only improves efficiency and stability, but also ensures call privacy and security. In fact, as early as the release of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, Snapdragon has taken the lead in presenting OEMs with the cutting-edge experience of real-time voice translation on the device side, relying on the introduction of Qualcomm AI Engine to achieve a significant increase in computing power. The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has successfully implemented related AI innovations, which is expected to promote the popularity of real-time translation experience on flagship mobile phones.
Intelligent retouching suggestions: Become a PS master in seconds, and AI creativity can be expressed by me
Nowadays, flagship mobile phones are becoming more and more capable of imaging, and with the continuous advancement of AI, both ordinary and advanced users can use mobile phones to shoot to improve the production rate and get more fun in photography. The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has a new "Smart Retouching Suggestions" feature that suggests post-production adjustments for imperfect photos, making it easy to get a more desired effect by dealing with imperfections.
For example, if you take a picture of a reflection left by a window through the glass, an unwanted shadow that appears when you are exposed to strong light, or a moiré pattern that appears when you shoot a monitor, you can simply swipe up while browsing photos to make AI retouching suggestions. The Samsung Galaxy S24 series now supports 8 types of smart retouching suggestions, such as removing reflections, removing shadows, removing moiré patterns, and re-recording photos.
In the past, some third-party photo editing apps had similar functions, but the implementation method often required uploading photos to the cloud for analysis and then processing, which had the risk of information leakage. Now the Samsung Galaxy S24 series' smart photo editing suggestions are integrated into the built-in photo album, which will be more convenient for users to use, and at the same time, it is a new device AI capability, which does not require an Internet connection to ensure photo privacy. The second-generation Snapdragon 8 has a built-in 18-bit cognitive ISP, which can perform semantic segmentation in real time, efficiently and accurately distinguish different parts and elements of the picture, and provide a foundation for subsequent complex editing and reprocessing.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series also leverages the powerful computing power of the third-generation Snapdragon 8 (for Galaxy) cognitive ISP to support rapid shifting, zooming, and angle adjustment of selected subjects on the screen, providing users with more freedom for secondary creation. In addition, the built-in Samsung Album incorporates Meitu's self-developed AI vision model MiracleVision, and adds a number of extended functions such as AI image expansion, AI image modification, and AI image generation, further enriching the creative gameplay of image editing.
