Samsung plans to charge for AI features after free period ends, risking budget constraints
-
Smartphone manufacturers like Samsung plan to charge for previously free AI features after 2025, which could limit options for consumers.
-
Flagship smartphones already cost over $1,000, and subscriptions would add another monthly expense.
-
Samsung's Galaxy AI currently promises free access until end of 2025, but the fine print implies charges could come after that.
-
With all the monthly services people already pay for, additional costs for AI features may be hard to justify.
-
If AI capabilities become an "ultra-luxury," many users may abandon them due to budget constraints after the free period ends.
