Samsung is preparing a new subscription called Galaxy AI Premium, which would allow users to access additional artificial intelligence capabilities on Galaxy devices. Information about the subscription was found in the code for One UI 9.5, with the name intended to cover advanced AI features for a monthly or annual fee.
According to available data, Galaxy AI Premium could cost $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year. Samsung will not charge for existing Galaxy AI features — they are expected to remain free. Among the free features mentioned are Now Brief, Browsing Assist, Creative Studio, and the AI capabilities of Samsung's keyboard.
The subscription would primarily relate to new features that require additional computing resources. These include Bixby Action, which is expected to enable task automation across various applications, Daily Briefing, a feature for preparing personalised daily overviews, and Gen Video, which would allow users to generate videos based on photos.
In addition to access to new features, subscribers may also receive higher usage limits for certain AI functions. Samsung is reportedly considering the sale of additional credit packs, which would allow users to make a one-off increase in the available amount of AI processing without committing to a permanent subscription.
It should be noted that nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The appearance of information in the One UI 9.5 code suggests that Samsung is considering introducing the subscription, but details on pricing, availability, and the exact scope of features have not yet been published.
