Samsung’s most recent flagship products, the Galaxy S24 series, have unique AI capabilities for picture editing, real-time translation, automatically created webpage summaries, and more.
Additionally, the Galaxy S23 series also offers these same Galaxy AI settings and functionality owing to the One UI 6.1 upgrade in March.
Don’t overlook: Greetings from CNET’s Guide to Current Artificial Intelligence, AI Atlas.

But not every one of these functions is activated by default. Here are five AI settings you should activate immediately if you possess a Galaxy S24 or S23 and are still uncertain of what your phone is capable of.
See our assessment of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the reasons it could be capable of much more with AI for further information.
During phone conversations, get translations in real time.
Live Translate, which allows for near-real-time speech translations between you and the person you are chatting with on the phone, is the first setting you should unquestionably enable. Let’s switch on the translation tool before we discuss how it operates.
Turn on Live Translate in Settings by selecting Advanced Features > Advanced Intelligence > Phone. Select your language, the language of the other person, and the translation voices before you begin using Live Translate. (Simplified Chinese, Mexico, Spain, and US Spanish are among the 13 languages; more are on the way.)
To hear simply the translation voice, you can also choose to mute both your voice and the other person’s voice.
Setting up live translation on the Galaxy S24
For each contact, you may select a language and voice setting.
To begin real-time translation, make a phone call, press the Call Assist button, and then select Live Translate. As you talk, a screen displaying the original and translated text of your chat will emerge in real time. Following your speech, the translation tool will convert your words into the language of the other participant. Only the translation voices will be audible to participants if your voices are muted.

Apply generative AI to your picture editing.
Generative Edit, one of the most powerful AI features on the Galaxy S24, lets you use generative AI to remove, recompose, and remaster the images you shoot with your phone. For instance, Generative Edit may create a new backdrop to fill in any gaps left by resizing an object or removing a person from a picture.
You must enable Generative Edit in your options since, like the other features and settings in this tutorial, it is not enabled by default.
Turn on generative editing by going to Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Photo Editor.
Tool for generative editing on the Galaxy S24
Utilise generative AI to fill in the backdrop of your images and move, crop, and resize objects and people.
To utilise generative AI in the Gallery app, choose Edit and then press the three-star AI button. After that, you have two options: either straighten the picture and generative AI will help create additional backdrop, or you may draw on the picture to move, erase, or resize any objects, and generative AI will create a background to fill it in once again.
Generate a synopsis of your voice recording automatically.
Your Galaxy S24’s voice recorder does more than simply capture sound. Additionally, it can convert audio to text and then use artificial intelligence to summarise the text, which is helpful when recording a presentation at work or a lecture at school. However, you must first enable the option in your settings before you can summarise your transcriptions.
Toggle on the option by going to Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Voice Recorder > Summaries. Activating Summaries will use artificial intelligence to automatically generate a summary of your audio recordings.
Setting up transcript assistance on the Galaxy S24
In addition to English, you can select other languages for your summaries and transcripts.
Tap on an audio recording in the Voice Recorder program, make a transcript, and then select the Summary tab to test out the transcription tool at work. The summary, complete with AI-generated headings and bullet points, is located beneath the keywords at the top that you may touch to view certain portions of the summary.

You may follow along with the audio while you review your transcript summary thanks to the timestamps.
Use your web browser to obtain summaries of each website you visit.
You can summarise almost every webpage you view in your browser using another AI tool, but you must activate it before you can use it. However, you must be using Samsung’s default web browser, just named Internet, for this to function. Chrome and other third-party web browsers do not support the AI summary feature.
Under Settings > Advanced Features > Samsung Internet > Advanced Intelligence Toggle the tool on and summarise. Website summaries are now available.
Using the Galaxy S24’s browsing help and summary settings
Samsung does not keep these summaries, as stated in the settings.
Open the Samsung web browser, navigate to the website you wish to summarise, and then click the three-star AI symbol that shows up in the bottom-of-the-screen navigation bar. When you click Summarise, an AI-generated synopsis of the page will appear. A synopsis of David Lumb’s CNET article about the Samsung Galaxy Ring may be seen below.

The summary can be translated into another language, copied to your clipboard, or edited by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the summary panel.

When utilising AI, solely process data on your smartphone.
For your own privacy, this is the last AI setting you should think about turning on. You may turn on Process data solely on device under Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence to ensure that any data processed by artificial intelligence is done locally on your device rather than online.
Typically, a third party receives your data solely to provide a response for the function you are using. Your data is instantly removed from third-party servers as soon as your creation is over, and it isn’t utilised for machine learning or ads.
However, you should activate this setting if you feel more secure having your data on your smartphone.
Samsung does caution that turning this feature on would result in inferior outcomes and that some AI capabilities might not function.
