Further, Roh said that “despite the costs involved in developing Galaxy AI, the features will remain free to use until 2025. However, the brand is yet to decide what happens later.”
Adding, “According to our analysis, there are various needs for mobile AI. So, there will be consumers who will be satisfied with using the AI capabilities for free. Then there could also be customers who wish for even more powerful AI capabilities, and even pay for them. So, in the future decision making, we will take all these factors into consideration.”
