A month ago, the Galaxy S24 flagship smartphone series was released , which became incredibly popular in many countries around the world, including Russia. And this despite the fact that the 2024 models did not receive significant improvements in technical characteristics. Their main advantage is the artificial intelligence Galaxy AI , which turns the smartphone into a truly smart device. It was this that attracted the attention of buyers, and Samsung decided not to stop there. From now on, AI is available even in Galaxy Buds headphones , and today we will figure out what it is for.
What Galaxy AI Can Do in Samsung Headphones
Galaxy AI is a whole complex of artificial intelligence features, which was dedicated to a separate article on our website. With the help of AI, Korean smartphones can translate speech into text , change the tone of messages and even search for information about objects through Google Lens, simply by circling a picture on the screen.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of Galaxy AI is call translation . This is a very useful feature for those who talk to foreigners on the phone, and after the Galaxy Buds update, the option will be available on Samsung headphones. That is, now, in order for the interlocutor’s speech to be translated in real time, it is not necessary to take the smartphone out of your pocket.
Unfortunately, for call transfer to work, Galaxy Buds headphones must be connected to a smartphone . And not just any, but to a representative of the Galaxy S24 series . In any case, these restrictions exist at the moment. Perhaps in the future they will be removed, and the function will begin to spread to a bundle of Samsung headphones with other smartphones.
When connected to the main device, you will not only hear the translation in Galaxy Buds , but also see its visualization on the smartphone screen. Alas, the function still does not support the Russian language, and therefore the barriers will be erased only for speakers of English, Spanish, Chinese and 10 other languages.
Another AI feature in Galaxy Buds is speech-to-text translation. But, as with calls, the headphones simply act as an alternative microphone, and still cannot be considered an independent smart device. But speech-to-text translation works in Russian . At least thanks for that.
Most likely, the feature will appear on other models, but for now you can only use call forwarding on these headphones in conjunction with Galaxy S24 smartphones . That’s what Korean marketing is like.
How to Update Galaxy Buds
To start using artificial intelligence in your headphones, you need to update your Galaxy Buds with the latest firmware version. To do this, you will need:
- Launch the Galaxy Wearable app.
- Go to the “Headphone Settings” section, and then “Headphone Software Update”.
- Wait until the update search is complete and is installed.
It’s worth noting that the Galaxy AI features will remain free until the end of 2025, after which Samsung plans to begin distributing AI only by subscription, the cost of which remains unknown. In addition, most of the features require an internet connection to work. Keep that in mind.
