Samsung is testing a possible Galaxy AI subscription

SammyGuru reported that Samsung was testing a subscription concept that would provide more usage of existing Galaxy AI features and access to new features.[1] Users would opt in, and money spent during the test would be refunded when it ends.[1] The reported feature names include Gen Video, described as making AI videos from users’ photos, and Bixby Action, described as automating tasks across apps.[1] SammyGuru said Daily Briefing had no description attached.[1]

SammyGuru said the free plan would include Browsing Assist, Now Brief, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, Samsung Keyboard, Photo Assist and Personal Agent.[1] It also reported that free-plan features would have usage limits and that users could buy credit packs after exhausting them.[1] The proposed Max plan was reported to offer four times the usage.[1] Tech Advisor said SammyGuru had identified three features as exclusive to Max, but the reports do not establish a final feature list.[2][3]

App strings cited by SammyGuru listed possible US prices of $4.99 monthly or $47.99 annually.[1] SammyGuru said the app did not show prices for in-app credit top-ups.[1] A separate SamMobile report, covered by Android Authority, instead described Starter, Plus and Pro tiers with 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 AI credits, and did not mention Max.[3] That report also described paying per use or per feature, with one-time credit packs reportedly valid for three years.[3] These are separate reports, not a confirmed final price or plan structure.[3]

Samsung told Tech Advisor that core Galaxy AI features would remain free, while some advanced capabilities or new services might be paid options in the future.[2] Tech Advisor also said features included on phones by default would not be charged for.[2] SammyGuru inferred from an app gate that Premium might initially be limited to the Galaxy S27 series, while noting that device eligibility was not confirmed.[1] SammyGuru said region restrictions were possible and presumed support in at least Korea and the US.[1] Android Authority cautioned that plans, features and usage limits could change before an official launch.[3]
