Samsung has just made an exciting announcement for all Galaxy smartphone users. The tech giant revealed that its highly anticipated Galaxy AI features will soon be available on more devices. This means that even if you’re holding onto an older Samsung smartphone, you can still enjoy the benefits of Circle to Search, Live Translation, Instant Slow-Mo, and Generative Edit.
The rollout of these Galaxy AI features will come in the form of a software update called OneUI 6.1, which is Samsung’s version of Android. This update will bring all the flagship AI features to a wider range of devices. Not only will users have access to Google’s Circle to Search and Samsung’s Edit Suggestion, but they will also be able to enjoy auto summarization capabilities in exclusive apps like Samsung Notes and quick photo editing features in the Gallery app.
OneUI 6.1 doesn’t stop there. It also introduces some additional features that are not directly related to Galaxy AI. For instance, users can expect more Lock Screen widgets with support for Samsung’s apps, including Samsung Health. Samsung is also rolling out its own version of Android’s adaptive charging mode called Battery Protection. This feature ensures that your device doesn’t remain fully charged on the dock overnight, which helps prolong battery life.
Another notable addition is the switch to Quick Share with its official Google-via-Samsung rebranding. This feature allows for seamless file sharing between Samsung devices and other compatible devices.
The OneUI 6.1 update will be available for a wide range of Samsung devices. This includes all Galaxy S23 smartphones such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 FE. Additionally, the update will be compatible with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, as well as several tablets including the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Tab S9, and Tab S9+.
Samsung has big plans for the expansion of Galaxy AI, aiming to bring these features to over 100 million users. While the initial update list covers a significant number of devices, it’s possible that more devices will be added in the future. If you own any of the devices mentioned above, you can expect to receive the software update in late March 2024.
So, if you’ve been hesitant to upgrade to the latest Galaxy smartphone, this news is sure to bring a smile to your face. With the upcoming OneUI 6.1 update, Samsung is ensuring that users of older devices can still enjoy the cutting-edge AI features that make Galaxy smartphones stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s the convenience of Circle to Search, the versatility of Live Translation, or the creativity of Generative Edit, these features are now within reach for a wider audience. Keep an eye out for the software update and get ready to experience the power of Galaxy AI on your trusted Samsung device.
