Samsung Galaxy S24: Advantages of the Galaxy AI Generative Editor over the Magic Editor in the Google Pixel 8 Pro

Some may claim that the Samsung Galaxy S24 only delivers what Google has already been offering for its two smartphones since the launch of its Pixel 8. In fact, many of the new Galaxy AI features of the Galaxy S24 series show striking similarities to the AI functions that have been available on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro since October. Some features at Google go back even further, such as the audio recorder that has been offering a transcription function for years, which is now matched by the Galaxy S24 Voice Recorder, but this currently only works with an internet connection.

And yet Samsung now offers more than Google, such as the Circle-to-Search feature, which will soon also be available on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. And another aspect of the new Galaxy AI has been improved compared to the range of functions of Google's AI. As Ben Sin shows us with his Galaxy S24 Ultra (in the video embedded below), users can carry out several generative image editing steps at once in the new Generative Editor in the image gallery before confirming all changes once by clicking 'Generate'.

According to testers, this is an enormous time saving measure because each step does not have to be generated individually and one after the other. We suspect that Google will also soon remove this restriction in the Magic Editor, but this has not yet been announced. Of course, both magic editors are not yet perfect and, depending on the scenario, can also generate nonsense, but in individual cases they can be used to remove unsightly errors in images without having to use Photoshop and the like.
