Samsung just dropped a brand new phone and some of these features are downright sci-fi

If you’re a sci-fi buff, your daily thoughts are probably spent on two things: Sigourney Weaver in her heyday (SO cool) and all the unreal tech the future promised.

So, naturally, you probably get pretty excited when new technology debuts – especially if it’s the kind you can fit in your pocket!

Samsung just announced the brand-new Galaxy S24 Series, and it’s probably one of the most future-forward options available right now.

From search features you always wish you had, to live translation, and an AI-enhanced camera that will have your photos looking magazine-worthy.

Here are some of the coolest new features offered by the Galaxy S24 Series that just make sense:

Circle to Search with Google

This is exactly what it sounds like – and it’s a total game-changer! You know that feeling when you’re looking for a super-specific item? Maybe it’s a certain kind of desk or a gorgeous floor plant – and then you see it? Except, it’s not in a store, it’s in the background of a cereal commercial or something. 

Exactly what you’re looking for – but WHERE can you find it?!

Well now you can just circle the item in any app or video and Circle to Search will find what you’re looking for! Boom. Let Google do all the hard work and find exactly what you want without even knowing the name, model, or anything. How easy is that?

Live Translate

Whether you’re a frequent traveller, or you have relatives with a language barrier, this Galaxy S24 Series feature means you’ll never have to worry about a misunderstanding again.

Live Translate is the first-ever feature to translate on a LIVE phone call between 2 people who speak different languages. Get real-time interpretations – even through messaging! Reply back in your own language and it’ll get translated on their end too. 

Amazing. No more Airbnb mishaps!

AI Editing

Not everyone can be a Photoshop wiz. Not everyone has time to be. But with the Galaxy S24 Series, you don’t have to worry because all the features you need are already built-in!

The Galaxy S24 Series has advanced AI editing tools that come standard along with the improved Galaxy camera. Edit your video to make it slow-mo. Delete, add, or fill in elements in your photos to fix those missing pieces. 

How handy is that? Now you can easily remove all those tourists from your vacation photos without spending hours on tricky editing apps.

If you’re in Toronto, you can check out the brand-new Galaxy S24 Series features in person at the Galaxy AI Station at Union Station from now until Sunday, February 11. Located in the West Wing, close to the York Street exit, every day from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM.

Time for an upgrade?
