Blogger Ice Universe has corroborated earlier claims that the tech giant plans to convert free features into paid subscriptions, pointing to Samsung's upcoming Galaxy AI paid service. Samsung is currently conducting early testing of a paid subscription called Galaxy AI Premium, which users can voluntarily participate in, with test-period fees to be refunded once the trial ends. Samsung plans to adopt a parallel model of free basic features and paid premium services: free users can access features such as the web browsing assistant and instant briefs, though some services come with usage limits—once those limits are reached, users can purchase additional credits or subscribe to a premium package. The paid package, tentatively named Max, will not only provide a higher quota but also unlock new features such as Gen Video for generating AI videos and Bixby Action for automatically executing cross-app tasks. The currently leaked placeholder prices of USD 4.99 per month and USD 47.99 per year are not the final charging standards.
