Samsung is testing a paid plan for some of the artificial intelligence features on Galaxy phones. According to information found in software code by the site SammyGuru and reported by outlets such as Android Authority and TechRadar, Galaxy AI Premium could cost $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year.
What should stay free: the current Galaxy AI features, grouped in the so-called Core tier, such as Browsing Assist, Now Brief, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, the Samsung Keyboard integration, Photo Assist and Personal Agent. People who use these tools today should not lose access, according to the published details.
What Galaxy AI Premium changes
What Premium would add: Gen Video, which turns still photos into short video clips; Bixby Action, which creates commands and routines across apps; and Daily Briefing, a daily summary distinct from Now Brief. The plan would also raise usage limits for heavy AI users.
Galaxy AI Premium plans, credits and limits
The findings point to three tiers — Starter, Plus and Pro — with limits of 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 credits, plus one-time credit packs valid for three years. For daily limits, the free tier would allow 10 translations, 5 summaries and 2 image generations per day; Essential, 100, 50 and 20; and Premium, unlimited use.
The test would be an early-access program, with payments refunded at the end of the testing period, and the findings point to a possible debut on the Galaxy S27 line, with One UI 9.5. It is important to stress: Samsung has not announced anything officially. Everything is based on code strings and screenshots, and prices, devices and dates may change before any launch.
