Exploring the Samsung Galaxy S24 Series: What's New, What's Improved, and the Exciting Google Gemini Partnership

-

Samsung unveiled the highly anticipated Galaxy S24 series on Wednesday 17 January 2024, consisting of three new models: Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. While the hardware remains largely unchanged with minor adjustments to the battery and camera, the noteworthy enhancements lie in the software, thanks to a significant collaboration with Google Gemini.

Gemini, Google’s formidable AI model, competes directly with CHATGPT and others, excelling in recognizing text, images, and audio. Its integration with the Galaxy S24 series elevates the device’s AI features, promising a seamless user experience.

President and CEO Mr. Simon Lee of Samsung South Africa emphasized the transformative impact of AI, referring to it as an “open gateway to human experiences.” This sentiment was echoed by Vice President Justin Hume, highlighting the vast possibilities AI brings to the forefront.

 During a brief hands-on experience, it became evident that the device’s features showcased at the unpacked event were designed with the user’s convenience in mind. The AI integration, enhancing photography skills with features such as a 50MP 5X optical zoom and intelligent note-taking capabilities, stands out. Live translate, a real-time language translation feature is particularly impressed with its ability to break down communication barriers instantly.

One notable feature, the Galaxy ring, was teased without revealing many details. As more information surfaces, updates will be shared on this platform.

 In conclusion, the Galaxy S24 series appears to be a compelling upgrade, especially for users with devices predating the S23 series. The advancements in AI, coupled with enticing pre-order gifts offered by Samsung SA at the time of writing, make it an attractive option for those considering an upgrade. Act promptly if you wish to avail yourself of these benefits by pre-ordering the device.

This is supported by statistics indicating a 45,5% unemployment rate among young individuals (aged 15-34 years), in contrast to the national average of 32,9% in the first quarter of 2024. It’s clear, though, that the struggle continues for many South African women – specifically in the area of small business and entrepreneurship.
