Chat Assist
Chat Assist enhances communication by assisting with grammar, spelling, punctuation, and writing style. Galaxy AI analyzes text and provides edits and suggestions tailored for various contexts, such as emailing coworkers or posting on social media. This feature ensures clear and polished communication even when time is limited.
Composer
Need to send an email but short on time? Composer utilizes Galaxy AI to simplify the process. Users can activate the email app, input concise keywords or phrases like “inquiring about booking a train ticket to Seoul this weekend,” and click “Create.” Composer generates a detailed email complete with a greeting and main body, making it effortless to communicate effectively in professional settings.
PDF Overlay Translation
This innovative feature allows users to translate and overlay text on PDF files directly within the Notes app. It ensures that translated text, images, and graphs are accurately rendered, making it an invaluable tool for working with multilingual documents.
Circle to Search
Circle to Search is an intuitive feature that enables users to translate and search for information directly on their screen with a simple press. This tool is particularly useful for learning, providing explanations and translations for complex topics like symbolic math and physics problems.

Real-time language translation
Galaxy AI brings real-time language translation to the new Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro, allowing users to hear translations directly through their earbuds. This feature is particularly useful for travel and communication with people speaking different languages.
Voice reconstruction for better calls
The Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro feature microphones with Super Wideband (SWB) technology, capturing a wider bandwidth of audio for better voice clarity. Galaxy AI reconstructs missing parts of speech affected by background noise or low volume, ensuring clear communication.
Enhanced privacy and personalization with on-device processing
Several Galaxy AI features, including Live Translate and Enhanced Interpreter, can operate entirely on-device, ensuring user data privacy. Samsung introduces an on-device personal knowledge graph, which learns and adapts to your usage over time, offering a more personalized experience.
Users can manage their data through the Galaxy AI Dashboard, choosing to block data from being sent to the cloud, thus keeping all features functional on-device.
