Some AI-powered features available on Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy S24 series smartphones will not work with every language.
Recently, some hawk-eyed X (formerly Twitter) users spotted a footnote in the Samsung Australia newsroom post that indicated that the Galaxy AI features are only free until 2025. Now, a new report suggests the Galaxy S24 flagships might not understand you.

it says the new Galaxy AI features on the Galaxy S24 series will be free of charge until 2025…
so does this mean Samsung will charge its users to use the new Galaxy AI features? 😬💀
Yikes! 😟 pic.twitter.com/q22flLHSrd
Powered by Android OS and One UI 6.1 skin on top, the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones are loaded with awe-inspiring AI-powered features. However, even the best things have their quirks.
Galaxy S24 AI has room for improvement
Galaxy S24 users can communicate with people in other languages using AI tools like live translations and transcribing audio recordings. On the downside, not all languages are currently supported by these features.

So, the burning question on your mind must be whether you will be able to use all these AI-powered tools on the Galaxy S24 in your native language. After all, who wants to use an English-only translator while exploring the world? The folks at SamMobile have shared a well-curated list of languages that are supported.
Search Generative Experience (SGE)
SGE, which alludes to a new search result format that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide quick and clear summaries of search topics, will be available in 127 countries except Europe and Australia.

Samsung is expected to add support for more languages in the future, but this will depend on Google given that these conversational AI features use Google's Large Language Model (LLM). Nevertheless, it is safe to say that Samsung is relying heavily on these AI features to boost unit sales of the Galaxy S24 lineup.
