Samsung Unpacked's real headliner wasn't the new Galaxy S phones, which we will get to shortly. It was Galaxy AI.
Galaxy AI brings a slew of AI-powered features to all three of Samsung's new phones and select other Android devices as well.
The first feature Samsung unveiled is real-time voice translations while on a call. Users can see text translations on-screen as well hear an AI voiceover translate the call verbally. AI translations also come to text messages as well, as texts automatically translate when a user both sends and receives them.

In addition, the Note Assist feature can autoformat quickly typed notes into well-written summaries and easy-to-read bullet points.
Samsung also showed off its new AI photo and video features like AI-powered HDR, nightography, and video stabilization. The company boasted how it worked with Instagram to bring the first HDR-enabled photos to the platform.
However, the most unique AI feature here has to be the AI generations within the image editor. For example, these photo editing features can fill-in out-of-frame visuals and movie objects within the picture using AI. When utilizing these features, Samsung will add a watermark to the photo and label in the metadata that the visual contains AI-generated content.
Samsung also rolled out a partnered video with YouTube giant MrBeast to show off the ultra zoom on its new Samsung Galaxy S24 camera and how easily the AI can edit photos. MrBeast also showed off Samsung's Quickshare feature, which can speedily send full-resolution images and other files across all Android devices and PCs.
Google and Circle to Search
Along with its own AI, Samsung has partnered with Google to bring the search giant's own AI models to Samsung smartphones and other Android devices.
The biggest announcement from Google at the Samsung event was the new Circle to Search feature.
Coming to the Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup, as well as some other Android devices, users will be able to perform searches by simply circling, highlighting, scribbling, or tapping an object on their screen. Users can search this way using text, photos, or even videos displayed on their device. For example, if their favorite creator is wearing a shirt they'd like to buy, the user can simply hold the Home button and circle the shirt. A Google search will then automatically be performed and link the user to result pertaining to the shirt and where they can buy it.
Samsung also announced that many of its announced AI features like translations will have seamless integration with Google's phone-to-car service, Android Auto.
Galaxy S24 Ultra
The main event of Samsung's smartphone lineup is the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Ultra is the most powerful model of Samsung's Galaxy phones and the latest version is no different.

The Android-device also comes with four rear-facing cameras: a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 200MP wide camera, a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+
The more affordable models of Samsung's Galaxy S smartphones have received an upgrade, too.
And much like their more premium sibling, both the Galaxy S24 and S24+ will be powered by the latest Qualcomm mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Both smartphones have three rear cameras: a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 50MP wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, as well as the 12MP front-facing camera.

The Galaxy S24 base model starts at $799 and the Galaxy S24+ starts at $999.
