Samsung confirm its rental program for Galaxy phones arrives in February

Samsung has been investing heavily in AI in the last couple of years, just like many industry giants. However, the South Korean company plans to start monetizing many of the AI-related features that it now offers for free to all customers using its devices.

Earlier this week, Samsung announced (via ETNews) that it will soon add Galaxy smartphones and tablets to its “AI Subscription Club” program. Samsung debuted the subscription service for its home appliances in South Korea last year and seems to have been pleasantly surprised by its success.

After a few weeks of its introduction, subscriptions for the service reached nearly 30 percent of all sales at Samsung Stores in South Korea. These positive results encouraged Samsung to include Galaxy phones and tablets in its AI Subscription Club starting next month.

Despite its name, the AI Subscription Club doesn’t really refer to the AI features that many of Samsung’s products offer these days. Instead, it’s a direct reference to the fact that the AI Subscription Club only offers access to devices with AI-powered features.
