Samsung introduced Galaxy AI with the S24 series, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra (review), powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, is one of the best phones to experience these features. It is also the best candy bar-style Android phone to explore AI features such as circle-to-search, live call translation, image editing tools, and a real-time interpreter.

For those who need all the aforementioned features in a smaller package and at a slightly lower price, the Galaxy S24 is the device to pick. The Indian variant of the Galaxy S24 is powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC, and just like the other models in the series, it comes with Galaxy AI features and is also eligible for seven years of major OS updates.

Apple Intelligence is coming to just two iPhones—the iPhone 15 Pro (review) and the iPhone 15 Pro Max—and the only difference between these two models is the screen size. Those who need a smaller iPhone with generative AI features can go for the iPhone 15 Pro, and those who need a bigger screen and longer-lasting battery can consider the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Do note that Apple Intelligence will come to these iPhones only in 2025.

Google’s flagship Pixel (review) is one of the few smartphones that can natively run a small language model (SLM) Gemini Nano locally on the phone to deliver a private and low-latency generative AI experience. Powered by the Tensor G3, the Pixel 8 Pro is also a camera powerhouse and is one of the most premium Android smartphones that one can get in 2024.

This one’s currently one of the most powerful foldables with AI features (review). Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, this is also the first smartphone from Vivo generative AI-backed notes-taking app, AI Transcript Assist, and real-time translation. If you are looking for a foldable that’s thinner, more powerful and has AI features, this is definitely one to consider.

These are some of the high-end smartphones with AI features that offer the best experiences. Similarly, one can also go for previous-generation models such as the Galaxy S23 series or even the affordable Pixel 8/8a to get a hang of the AI capabilities on the phone without spending a lot.
