Overview
- SammyGuru reported the leak that outlines a paid premium tier and several tech outlets picked up the story, but Samsung has not publicly confirmed the plan.
- The leaked code strings suggest pricing of about $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year for the premium tier.
- Reported new features include Gen Video to generate short videos from photos, Bixby Action to automate tasks across apps, and a Daily Briefing feature.
- The premium tier would reportedly offer roughly four times the usage limits of the free tier while many existing Galaxy AI tools would remain available for free but with capped use.
- The leak says the offering is being trialed as an early-access program with test payments to be refunded and the change would end more than two years of free Galaxy AI access, a shift that could matter most to heavy AI users and mirror wider industry moves to monetize advanced AI features.
