Samsung has confirmed Galaxy AI Premium — a tiered subscription service for its AI features, is rolling into One UI 9.5, with two named plans (Standard and Max), plus a pay-as-you-go credit option. The interface is now visible in beta builds: a dedicated screen shows your current plan, a monthly usage meter with progress bar, and upgrade prompts.
No pricing or launch date is public. SamMobile notes the figures shown in screenshots “could just be placeholder figures”, and Samsung has not announced availability, regional rollout, or billing terms. This is not a launch. It’s a UI reveal, the first concrete look at how Samsung intends to gate advanced AI tools behind recurring payments.
Core Galaxy AI features remain free. But Generative AI video editing, agentic AI workflows, and other high-resource capabilities are marked for Premium access. One UI 9.5 itself is still in beta. Samsung hasn’t said when it ships to Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, or Watch 9 users, or whether the Watch 9 will support any Galaxy AI features at all.
