One of the biggest Indian festivals has started today with Dhanteras. Ahead of Diwali, Samsung shared an awesome promo video, showcasing the smart Note Assist feature of Galaxy AI.
This Diwali, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is taking ease to new heights with Galaxy AI’s Note Assist, designed to empower users to capture, organize, and share moments with unmatched simplicity.
With just a tap, you can record heartfelt conversations, transcribe important details, and translate messages for loved ones who speak different languages.
Note Assist brings to you a true celebration of effortless connections. It ensures that every moment is preserved, shared, and understood with ease.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI promo for Diwali 2024 is a short yet nice story. An NRI came to India, who is unaware of some commonly used stuff throughout the festive season.
His relatives ask him to bring many different items from the market, requiring him to create a list. All the discussions happened in the local language, Hindi, understanding it was a bit difficult.
Thanks to Note Assist, the NRI used his Galaxy S24 Ultra to get things done. The Notes app has a transcribe feature that records and analyzes the conversation to convert it to text format.
He was regularly using the Note Assist to get list created in the Notes app. Galaxy AI showoff time comes at the end when a group realizes how he can bring those stuff due to lack of awareness.
Voila! Galaxy AI’s Note Assist has already finished the work. The list is all set, consisting of all the items that were used to be ordered by different persons for festive purposes.
Galaxy S25 Ultra should not fade Samsung’s growth ambitions in the smartphone market next year. The Galaxy S24 series created a momentum of the AI Phone era, which the company wants to maintain further.
Samsung should have been hopeful for the Galaxy S25 Ultra to change the narrative that the smartphone market is shrinking given the intense competition. Key hardware upgrades and Galaxy AI features would solidify the dominance.
S25 Ultra has to keep the AI craze ignited
We’ve been hearing a lot about the Galaxy S25 series features and specifications. Meanwhile, anticipation is building on whether the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be able to maintain the AI-era-sparked by the S24 Ultra this year.
Galaxy S25 Ultra is the only hope that would lead Samsung to dominate the global smartphone market. Apple is swiftly decreasing the gap, while Chinese smartphone makers are also getting their respective market slice.
Amid concerns over weakening performance and growing competitiveness, Samsung hopes the Galaxy S25 Ultra can shift the narrative. Recently, TM Roh highlighted that strong Galaxy S24 sales have set the division on track for annual growth.
Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series is projected to be sold 35 million units this year. The Korean tech giant’s initial Generative AI integration has been well received, setting high expectations for next year’s Galaxy S family.
Samsung’s MX Head also joined Snapdragon Summit, suggesting Snapdragon 8 Elite utilization in the upcoming flagships. The chip promises a 45% performance boost in CPU and GPU, supporting more efficient multitasking and gaming.
The Galaxy S25 has more to prove beyond upgraded specs. Following recent struggles in the foldable phone market, the company is relying on the S25 series to revive its brand image and deliver an elevated user experience.
