I was one of the select industry analysts invited to the event. The theme \u201cGalaxy Al for All\u201d was apt for the event, as all the devices announced had Galaxy AI support, including the first-ever AI-enabled Galaxy tab.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The most noteworthy devices were the Galaxy Tabs, not because of their AI function but because of the SoC that powered them\u2014MediaTek Dimensity 9300+. This marks MediaTek&#8217;s entry into the premium device category in the US. As expected, all the FE devices were powered by\u00a0Samsung\u2019s own Exynos SoCs.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Here is the full list of announced devices and their salient features:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3U4AmvO\">Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra \/ S10+<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Display: Dynamic AMOLED 2x (120Hz)<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Display Size: 14.6in \/ 12.4in<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Memory: Up to 16 GB RAM + 1TB \/ Up to 12GB RAM + 512GB<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Battery: 11,200 mAh \/ 10,009 mAh<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Wi-Fi 6E (S10+ has 5G option)<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">SoC: MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (MT6989)<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">(Octacore: 4 x 3.25GHz + 4 x 2GHz)<\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Full suite of Galaxy AI tools<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/484XCjl\">Galaxy S24 FE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Display: Dynamic AMOLED 2x (60\/120Hz)<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Display size: 6.7-inch FHD+<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cameras: 12MP Ultra Wide + 50MP Wide + 9MP Telephoto + 10MP Front<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Battery: 4700 mAh<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">SoC: Exynos 2400e<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Full suite of Galaxy AI tools<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Nl2NSr\">Galaxy Watch FE LTE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cellular connectivity for call and text<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Upgrade to the\u00a0existing version<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">After the event, the demo space was opened, which had ample new devices, as well as recently announced devices to check out and experience. More importantly, the key Samsung product managers responsible for the announced products were also available for discussion and Q&amp;A. This was very helpful, as Samsung didn\u2019t do any pre-briefings for this announcement.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Tantra\u2019s take:<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">This was a short and very productive event, without much fanfare. \u201cAI for all\u201d has been a common theme these days, where all companies are trying to bring AI to all types and tiers of devices. Interestingly, AI capability seems to be the same or similar across tiers. This is to encourage and stimulate AI usage, not use it as a tiering mechanism. It makes perfect sense now, but I am sure, as the AI usage picks up, those capabilities will also be tiered.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">As evident from the recent consumer feedback, there hasn\u2019t been an AI \u201cdevice upgrade super cycle\u201d that many were expecting. In my view, that is because, unlike hardware features like an upgraded camera or faster modem, the benefits of many AI features are more subtle. Users will not see an\u00a0immediate, observable step-up in experience when these AI features are\u00a0enabled. For example, things like circle-to-search, sketch-to-image, magic erasure, magic fill, etc., are not used on an\u00a0everyday basis. But when they do use them, it feels like magic. So, these will gradually grow on people, and at some point, they become something that they can\u2019t live without.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">So, in my view, instead of users running now to stores to buy new devices for these AI features, it will be more like demanding them when buying future devices. They would even be open for newer, more upgraded features.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Other features like instant translation and live captioning might be useful for select people working with content in different languages, dealing with people from different countries, or even of different generations. Samsung mentioned that some of\u00a0these are the most used AI features on its phones, even in the USA.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">As mentioned, the SoCs powering these devices is definitely noteworthy. The FE devices were powered by Samsung Exynos SoCs. \u00a0However, Galaxy S10 series tablets being powered by MediaTek SoC was a major development.\u00a0 MediaTek, till now, has been mostly supplying SoCs to the mid and lower their devices in the USA, for example, Samsung\u2019s A-series phones. But it seems it has shattered that glass ceiling and entered the premium club. This is even more interesting considering that Tab S10+ also has a 5G version\u00a0with a supposedly MediaTek-integrated modem. With all the rumors about the S25 flying around, it seems like next year\u2019s Samsung Unpacked, which usually happens in the first quarter, will be very interesting to look forward to.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">During the presentation, Samsung shared an important factoid: &#8220;1 in 4 households in the US have at least 3 Samsung devices.\u201d This is a big opportunity for Samsung to offer a differentiated and unique \u201cSamsung experience\u201d for its loyal customers. This will not only reward them for their loyalty but also develop a\u00a0higher affinity and stickiness for Samsung\u2019s products and services.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Samsung could implement a thin middle layer on all its products\u00a0so that they can automatically recognize other Samsung products when in the vicinity or on a common network.\u00a0This can be utilized to offer the\u00a0Samsung-to-Samsung experience that will be far better and more integrated than any other combination. For example, if a user has a Samsung phone, laptop, and watch, all the devices should go to silent mode if he\/she joins a conference on the laptop. Similarly, notifications are shown on the watch\u00a0only when\u00a0it is worn and away from the phone\/laptop. Also, if the user is working on the laptop, he\/she shouldn\u2019t get notifications of a new email\/message on the phone kept near the laptop. These are simple use cases, but the possibilities are endless with AI. I strongly suggest Samsung invest in such use cases and fully exploit the opportunity.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Prakash Sangam is the founder and principal at\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tantraanalyst.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tantra Analyst<\/a>,<\/span> a leading boutique research and advisory firm.
