Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus hands-on: Samsung's AI phones are here, but with mixed results

I've never thought of Samsung as a software company, let alone as a name to pay attention to in the AI race. But with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series today, the company is eager to have us associate it with the year's hottest tech trend. The new flagship phones look largely the same as last year's models, but on the inside, change is afoot. At a hands-on session during CES 2024 in Las Vegas last week, I was more focused on checking out the new software on the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. Thanks to a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor (in the US) customized "for Galaxy," the S24 series are capable of a handful of new AI-powered tasks that seem very familiar.
