Previously only available to Apple’s iPhone, Samsung’s “Try Galaxy” app is available today on Android, and with it comes demos of the company’s Galaxy AI features.
According to Samsung, as we move into the “era of mobile AI,” the Korean OEM is looking to give more users a chance to playtest its offerings. The Try Galaxy app simulates Samsung’s latest flagship device. That said, the company states users will find a new widget on the second page of the home screen, which highlights its “core” AI features and One UI 6.1.
Tapping a feature will provide a quick video explanation of how the feature would work if you had a Galaxy S24.
There are five features users can playtest, beginning with “Live Translate.” The app will offer a quick demonstration of what it’d be like to communicate with someone in a different language. Samsung states its “two-way call translation” is built into its phone app and supports 13 languages for text and audio transcriptions.
Note Assist offers AI-based summaries and note organization, turning chunky paragraphs into easy-to-read bullet points. Chat Assist enters with the ability to translate messages in real-time as it’s built directly into the Samsung Keyboard.
Users will also gain an up-close example of how Google’s “Circle to Search” tool can be used whenever a question arises.
The demos continue for photos as the app features a tutorial about Samsung’s “Photo Assist.”
