Are they promising to put all their AI shit behind a pay wall? Fantastic, means i won't have to deal with it on my phone
- Instead they will constantly bug you to subscribe every time you do anything on your phone.
  
  Yeah but paying doesn’t make it go away either. The Samsung pay app on my S9 used to have ads to buy the S9
  
  That’s what custom ROMs are for.
  
  I have considered this possibility, I think that would be the point I explore fdroid or similar
- Exactly my reaction! Like, yay! They’re taking it away :-D
Oh yeah, if there's anything people (regular consumers) are excited for, it's the ability to pay to use AI.

I don't know anyone paying for copilot who isn't using company money to do so. Same with openai, gemini...
because thats what the people want, ANOTHER subscription service!

- Yeah they want it as much as they want AI so like not at all. Good riddance to both!
i mean it's a good idea for people who can't buy phones but logistically i have no idea how it's sustainable
Good luck with that.
Next month, Samsung will open its AI Subscription Club, a subscription plan that lets you rent/subscribe to Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The AI part in the plan's name indicates that it will be available for devices with AI-powered features.

Which genius thought of this dumb ass name???
I have a pixel 9 series phone and even I won't pay for Gemini after the 1 free year is up.
