Live translation of phone calls! 🤯
I was up for a phone renewal and got the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, so I had to test its AI Live Translate for calls.
I conversed in English and German, while my colleague Paolo talked Italian. The results? Quite good and useful!
Just finished watching Samsung Unpacked.
"A new era for Mobile AI!"
Ugh.
This is going to be a minor iterative year for Galaxy Fans. The hardware is only getting small changes. The major claims about AI mostly come from Google Gemini (which Google PAINSTAKINGLY kept reiterating would be on "android" phones, not just Galaxy phones).
And we glossed over a lot of the things that might impact folks daily use, like Exynos chips vs Qualcomm chips.
When pocket computers are THIS expensive, I think we need to see more than a handful of translation features and photo editing tools.
We did get a sneak peek at this new Galaxy Donut CG render though. So that was cool.
Rumors are stating that the Samsung Galaxy S24 line will be unveiled in January 2024, though I don't believe this to be the case. I think it won't happen until February 2024.
