Samsung has made great use of gestures to invoke the two most commonly used AI features by most - circle to search and the integration of Google Gemini, which by the way, beats Apple and its ChatGPT partnership in terms of release date. You swipe up from the bottom panel to bring up the circle-to-search window and from any of the bottom corners to involve Gemini AI assistant. Live Translate, Interpreter, chat assist, call assist, note assist, transcript assist, browsing assist and photo assist all get a generous dose of help from Galaxy AI and to be fair, Samsung offers a transparent way of turning off your request being sent to the cloud. If you choose to, you can limit yourself to using only the features that can be processed on-device.
One of the most oft-used cases for all the Galaxy AI features will be the ones in the Camera and Photos app. Assist features such as AI erase and generative fill work well for the most part but the new Portrait Studio feature that can convert your face into a Comic, 3D Cartoon, Sketch or Watercolour drawing is wildly inconsistent and mostly, downright inaccurate. They do make for fun early explorations of the AI world but unless you fancy yourself a TinTin haircut, it’s not going to be worthy of a printout or a frame.
