Samsung Galaxy AI Features Guide 2025: Complete List of Hidden Tools and How to Use Them

Discover Samsung's powerful AI capabilities that go far beyond basic smartphone features-from live translation to advanced photo editing

Samsung's Galaxy AI has evolved from experimental technology into practical tools that users increasingly depend on daily. Currently free until the end of 2025, these features transform how users communicate, create content, and manage information on their devices.

Real-Time Communication Features

Live Call Translation

Galaxy AI's standout feature enables real-time translation during phone calls without sending conversation data to external servers. Live Translate supports 20 languages including Korean, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and others.

The system processes translations entirely on-device using Samsung's Neural Processing Unit, ensuring privacy while maintaining conversation flow. Users can configure automatic language detection per contact and choose between hearing original voices or translated audio only.

Setup: Phone app > Settings > Live Translate > Enable and select languages

Text Call Conversion

When voice calls aren't practical, Text Call converts spoken conversations into real-time text exchanges. Users type messages that are converted to speech for the caller, while receiving transcribed responses on screen.

This accessibility feature proves valuable during meetings, in noisy environments, or for users with hearing difficulties. Text Call doesn't require AI processing and works on all devices with One UI 6.1 or later.

Call Recording with AI Transcription

Galaxy AI automatically transcribes recorded calls and generates summaries of key points. Users can enable automatic recording for all calls or activate recording manually during conversations.

The transcription service operates in multiple languages with automatic detection, and users can choose on-device processing to keep sensitive business conversations private.

Advanced Writing Assistance

Smart Keyboard Integration

Writing Assist supports 39 languages and integrates directly into Samsung's keyboard, making it available across all apps. The system offers three core functions:

• Grammar and spelling correction with context awareness
• Style adjustment for formal, casual, or professional tones
• Content generation tailored to specific platforms like social media or email

Unlike general AI writing tools, Samsung's implementation focuses on personal communication rather than broad knowledge tasks, prioritizing speed and privacy.

Contextual Message Suggestions

In messaging apps, Galaxy AI analyzes conversation context to suggest appropriate responses. This experimental feature learns from communication patterns to offer relevant reply options automatically.

Access: Settings > Advanced Features > Advanced Intelligence > Enable message suggestions

Photography and Media Enhancement

Generative Photo Editing

Galaxy AI brings professional-level editing tools directly to the Gallery app:

Object Removal and Repositioning: Select any object by tapping or drawing around it. AI automatically creates precise masks and seamlessly fills removed areas or adjusts backgrounds when objects are moved.

Sketch to Image: Draw simple sketches on photos that AI converts into realistic objects matching the image style and lighting.

Portrait Studio Effects: Transform portrait photos into various artistic styles including comic book art, 3D character rendering, watercolor paintings, and pencil sketches.

Samsung's object removal rivals desktop photo editors, with testing showing 4.4x better performance than competing devices.

Privacy Control Options

Users control whether photo editing uses cloud processing or on-device AI models. Samsung states it doesn't guarantee accuracy of AI outputs, and generated content includes watermarks for transparency.

Productivity and Organization Tools

Note Enhancement

Note Assist transforms handwritten or typed notes by adding structure, correcting grammar, and creating summaries. The feature works within Samsung Notes to organize bullet points, generate headlines, and translate content between supported languages.

Voice Transcription

Transcript Assist converts recorded speech to text within the Voice Recorder app, supporting meeting notes, lectures, and personal recordings with automatic formatting and organization.

Smart Search Capabilities

Circle to Search enables users to select any on-screen content for instant web lookup, while Galaxy AI's photo search allows natural language queries to find specific images by describing content, location, or subjects.

Device Availability and Future Outlook

Galaxy AI features are available on devices from the Galaxy S22 series onward, including foldable devices and tablets. Galaxy A series phones have limited AI features, while flagship models receive the complete suite.

Samsung has consistently indicated that "fees may apply to certain AI features at the end of 2025", though the company hasn't specified which features might require payment. Recent Samsung support responses suggest no immediate plans to charge for these services.

Getting Started

Enable Galaxy AI features through Settings > Advanced Features > Advanced Intelligence. Users can customize individual features and choose between cloud processing for enhanced performance or on-device processing for maximum privacy.

Samsung requires a Samsung Account login for certain AI features and reminds users that accuracy of AI outputs isn't guaranteed.

The practical value of these tools becomes apparent through daily use-many users report difficulty returning to traditional smartphone features after experiencing Galaxy AI's capabilities. As AI continues advancing, these features represent Samsung's vision for making smartphones more intuitive and capable personal assistants.
