Galaxy AI features based on Gemini foundational models. This includes advanced AI-based real-time call translation, summarization, and text format features tailored for the Chinese audience. Reportedly, one notable feature making its way to the Galaxy S24 phones in China is a localized version of Google's 'Circle to Search' functionality.
Samsung and Baidu highlight that Ernie AI's understanding and generation capabilities will enhance the Samsung Note Assistant, allowing for content translation and the summarization of lengthy information with ease.
