Overview
- Leaked One UI code and in‑app screenshots reported Monday by multiple outlets indicate Samsung is testing a Galaxy AI Premium early‑access program with placeholders showing about $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year.
- The test interface names specific paid features including Gen Video for creating short videos from photos, Bixby Action for automating tasks across apps, and a separate Daily Briefing feature.
- The software outlines tiered access: a free Standard/Starter level with usage limits, paid tiers that raise limits (reports say as much as four times) and one‑time credit packs for extra use.
- The leak references an opt‑in trial that reportedly promises refunds for money spent during testing, and includes version checks that suggest the service could roll out first on next‑generation Galaxy flagships.
- Samsung’s published support pages state default on‑device Galaxy AI tools will remain free, but the company has not confirmed pricing, exact features, device eligibility, regional rollout, or a formal launch date; the move would follow a wider industry shift toward charging for advanced AI services and has drawn user skepticism about value.
