Google Partners with Samsung for Exclusive Early AI Access on Galaxy S24
-
Google is providing exclusive early access to its latest AI features like Generative Fill and Circle to Search to the Galaxy S24 before they are available on Pixel phones.
-
Many of the AI capabilities boasted by the Galaxy S24 actually rely on Google's algorithms and models like Gemini, Imagen 2, and Gemini Nano rather than Samsung's own development.
-
This partnership raises questions around whether Tensor is as essential to Pixel phones as claimed, since the same AI features run well on Samsung chips like Snapdragon and Exynos.
-
There are concerns that Google is giving special treatment to Samsung with exclusive AI access and 7 years of updates, disadvantaging other Android manufacturers.
-
Potential conflict of interest for Google as it tries to balance improving Android, making the best Pixel phone, and managing key partnerships like Samsung.
