Overview
- Samsung updated its Galaxy AI support and terms pages in mid-January 2026 to state that "Galaxy AI basic features provided by Samsung are free."
- The new language replaces the earlier footnote that said AI features were complimentary through 2025, a version still visible on a January 1, 2026 archive.
- Samsung explicitly leaves room for future "enhanced" features or new services to be offered on a paid basis.
- The free tier covers tools listed under Advanced Intelligence, including Call Assist, Writing Assist, Interpreter, Photo Assist, Note and Transcript Assist, Browsing Assist, Now Brief, and Audio Eraser.
- The commitment does not extend to third-party AI features such as Google’s Circle to Search, and some Galaxy AI tools require users to sign in with a Samsung account.
