Samsung’s new AI photo editing tools will automatically place a watermark in the corner of your image to indicate AI was involved. However, one user found that you can get rid of the watermark by using Samsung’s object erase tool — which also uses AI.
Samsung announced yesterday that its new Galaxy S24 would become the first device to be able to post and view photos in HDR on Instagram. But this feature may be arriving on more devices soon, according to Meta spokesperson Cullen Heaney:
Samsung is the first manufacturer we’ve worked with to make this feature available, meaning SG24 users are the first to be able to post and view HDR photos in Feed. We are working with additional Android partners (and iOS) to expand the availability of the feature (and thus ability to view in HDR as well).
Analyst Avi Greengart got — in a very literal sense — some hands-on time with Samsung’s prototype health tracker. He has much more to say about it than Samsung did in its presentation, including that it may ship in 2024. Guess it really is the year of the smart ring.
The price of running generative AI is high, so it’s not surprising Samsung and Google have teamed up to power the new features in Galaxy S24 phones.
This is the first use deploying Gemini Pro on Vertex AI to customers, for summarization in Notes, Voice Recorder, and Keyboard. It’s also using Imagen 2 for Generative Edit on photos, as well as Gemini Ultra for complex tasks and, like the Pixel 8 Pro, Gemini Nano as an on-device LLM.
Samsung is hosting today’s event in an NHL arena, and if you’re wondering whether that means arena-level audio and visuals, boy does it ever. It all gets started at 1PM ET / 10AM PT — watch along to learn all about the most AI phones that ever AI’ed. Until then, I’ll be watching the same Galaxy commercial on a giant screen on repeat, apparently.
The livestream is live and looping ahead of the 1PM ET start time for Samsung’s big Galaxy S24 introduction. We know the new phones will have plenty of AI onboard, but other details on that, and anything else Samsung plans to announce, will be revealed in about 45 minutes.
Reliable leaker Evan Blass has shared images of what appears to be the Galaxy S24 and S24 Ultra in a pair of eye-catching colors. Luckily, we’ll only have to wait a little longer to see the real thing when Samsung’s AI-themed Galaxy Unpacked event kicks off at 1PM ET.
