With a brand new partnership between Google Cloud and Samsung, Galaxy S24 customers will have the ability to entry our most succesful AI mannequin, Gemini, by apps and companies constructed by Samsung.
We look ahead to working with Samsung to deliver Gemini into much more product experiences for Galaxy customers world wide. Study extra about Google Cloud and Samsung’s partnership.
Official assertion from Google on new Samsung partnership. Google’s AI algorithms could be discovered everywhere in the Galaxy S24 sequence.
However maintain on… Why on this planet is Google permitting Samsung early and unique (!) entry to a few of its most valuable AI options, which make the Pixel as particular as it’s? The reply is… enterprise.
Google and Samsung are nearer than ever, and so they don’t attempt to conceal it. Samsung manufactures the Tensor chip powerding Google’s Pixel telephones, whereas Google is now returning the favor by sharing its strongest AI algorithms with Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 telephones.
Constructing on their present relationship, Samsung and Google’s partnership is now stronger than ever. The South Korean tech big makes modified Exynos chips (a.okay.a. Tensor) for Google’s Pixel flagship, whereas Google provides Samsung entry to unique software program and AI options even earlier than the Pixel 8 will get them!
So, all of this feels like an unimaginable deal for Samsung, because the Galaxy S24 sequence of telephones additionally develop into the primary Android telephones (after Google’s Pixel) to supply seven years of Android OS updates. However what does Samoogle’s friendship with advantages imply for the Pixel telephone and Android as a complete?
So far as the Pixel is worried, maybe the one query that instantly popped up in my head was: Do we actually want Tensor, which (because it’s develop into clear) isn’t what makes the Pixel good?
Since many of the Pixel’s AI options at the moment are obtainable on Samsung’s Galaxy S24, which is powered by two totally different chips (Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and Samsung’s Exynos), it’s now clear that Google’s AI algorithms are what makes the Pixel good – not the Tensor chip. Respectively, this makes Tensor appear extra like a business-driven product slightly than a vital a part of the Pixel telephone.
My Pixel 8 Professional takes a very long time to course of AI-related duties. Particularly these associated to pictures and generative AI. What stops me from recommending a Galaxy S24 over a Pixel 8, once I know Samsung’s flagship will carry out higher than the Pixel even in terms of options developed by Google and for the Pixel?
Galaxy S24 and Google’s dedication points: Is Google’s precedence to make the perfect Pixel telephone attainable; make the perfect model of Android attainable, or make the perfect enterprise selections attainable?
Trying on the greater image, I can’t assist however ask myself what Google’s priorities are. Apparently, being the world’s main information centre, the creator of Android, and a phone-maker, isn’t a simple balancing act to drag off.
Is Google working to make Android higher than iOS – in its function of a software program firm, or is Google working to make the Pixel higher than the competitors – from the attitude of a phone-maker?
However if so, then why is the Galaxy S24 getting early entry to AI options not but obtainable on Pixel? And why is the Galaxy S24 in a position to run the identical AI options quicker and smoother than Pixel, which settles for a noticeably inferior chip?
Google-made Galaxy S24 AI options show Samsung will get particular therapy: Is that this truthful in direction of different Android phone-makers?
Google and Samsung vs the remainder?
Is Google about to attract a wonderful line between the Pixel and Galaxy’s model of Android – with all of the AI methods and seven years of OS updates, and the model of Android obtainable to different Android phone-makers?
Final however not least, I’ve a powerful feeling the brand new AI methods shared between the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8 may not be coming to another Android telephone anytime quickly. And if that’s certainly the case, it’d put different Android telephones operating on (supposedly) the identical model of Android at a transparent drawback.
The rationale I believe Google’s new AI algorithms may find yourself being unique to the Pixel and Galaxy is that they aren’t tied to a brand new Android model like many new Android options often are. As a substitute, these new AI methods launch in the course of the transition from Android 14 to Android 15. Therefore, I don’t see how a Xiaomi or a OnePlus telephone will get them with out Google’s express help.
With that in thoughts, I additionally gained’t be stunned if the Galaxy S24 is the one non-Google telephone ready/allowed to get 7 years of Android updates for a great whereas.
- Is Google now working to make Android higher and extra aggressive as a complete, and for each telephone that makes use of Android?
- Is Google working to make the Pixel the greatest Android telephone on this planet – one thing all different Android telephone-makers try to realize with their very own flagship telephones?
- Is Google working to strengthen its partnerships and enterprise with the likes of Samsung?
I assume the reply is likely to be the entire above, which implies I’m sensing a battle of curiosity inside Google itself, and extra particularly the totally different divisions throughout the firm. I assume that is what occurs when your main enterprise has nothing to do with making telephones?
