Samsung Confirms Core Galaxy AI Tools Will Stay Free for Users
Samsung is continuing to rely heavily on Google for Gemini AI, but the company is not entirely giving up control over its AI future. Since the launch of the Galaxy S24 series in early 2024, Samsung has been investing in its own set of Galaxy AI tools, such as Live Translate for calls and messages, One UI 8's Now Briefs, Audio Eraser, Generative Edit, and others. These tools have been free to use, with Samsung earlier saying that they would be free 'until the end of 2025.' The company has not made any public changes to this stance. But there has been more clarity on Samsung's plans. In a briefing ahead of its latest foldable phones, Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE, Samsung told Android Police that all Galaxy AI tools that are on the phone by default will remain free for users. This statement clears up rumors about a paywall for essential Galaxy AI tools. Users will not be charged for tools like Live Translate, Note Assist in Samsung Notes, Zoom Nightography, Audio Eraser, Browsing Assist, and Generative Wallpapers. At the same time, most of Google's Gemini-powered tools are still free on Samsung devices. New Gemini-powered tools are also free for the next six months for early buyers of the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. For now, Samsung is keeping core Galaxy AI tools free and giving users more certainty about what they can use without extra cost.

Apple unveils major iPhone trick to help you understand and SPEAK foreign languages
APPLE has unveiled a futuristic new feature that will help millions of people overcome language barriers. Using artificial intelligence (AI), your iPhone may soon be able to translate conversations on the fly. It will work in the Messages, FaceTime and the Phone app. For example, if you're studying abroad and wanting to make plans with some new friends but are stuck behind a language barrier. The new Live Translate feature means each text is instantly translated after receiving it - or sending it. On FaceTime, you'll receive instant live translated captions as you speak. While on a phone call, your words are translated as you speak. It even works when you call or text someone who doesn't have an iPhone. Apple noted that all your conversations will be processed and translated on the device for security purposes. That means they're not being sent to servers elsewhere to be translated. Apple has also added more translation capabilities to Apple Music. Apple shows you tips and tricks on the new Iphone 16e with Apple Intelligence Listeners will now be able to have lyrics translated in the app, alongside a new pronunciation tool to help you learn your favourite foreign songs. The feature will become available in iOS 26 - Apple's next big software update for iPhones. But it won't just be available on Apple's handsets - but its desktops and laptops too. Live Translation - as well as the nifty new Hold Assist tool - will also be available on Mac. Are you eligible for iOS 26?
