Samsung Expanding AI Subscription Service to Smartphones and Robots

Samsung is set to roll out its AI subscription service next month, initially launched last December in South Korea for select home appliances. This service will now expand to Galaxy phones and the upcoming Ballie AI robot. Users can subscribe monthly for AI features and optional repair services at a lower upfront cost. It's unclear if the service will expand beyond South Korea, but more information may be revealed at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California on January 22nd. This expansion signals Samsung's aggressive exploration of AI subscription models in both smart home and mobile device sectors.
