Overview
- Monday reports based on SammyGuru app-code analysis say Samsung is running an Early-Access test of a paid “Galaxy AI Premium” offering with charges that are reportedly refunded after the program ends.
- App-code leaks describe a higher “Galaxy AI Max” tier that would add Gen Video for making short AI videos from photos, Bixby Actions for cross-app automation, and a new Daily Briefing feature.
- Samsung appears to plan usage quotas for core Galaxy AI tools such as Photo Assist, Browsing Assist, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, Samsung Keyboard, and Now Brief, with paid plans or credit packs restoring or expanding access.
- Leaked pricing in the app code points to about $5 per month or $48 per year for the top tier, but those figures and exact device or regional availability remain unconfirmed by Samsung.
- Samsung told reporters that core Galaxy AI features will remain free while some advanced functions could become paid, a change that would shift how users access intensive features and could first roll out on flagship models such as the Galaxy S27 series.
