Users of Samsung, rejoice! The tech giant recently revealed that its Galaxy AI features would now be available on more smartphones than just the Galaxy S24 series. This is a huge extension of the functionality. Beginning on March 28, Samsung will release the One UI 6.1 upgrade, which will bring the eagerly awaited Galaxy AI features to a number of well-known smartphones and tablets.
Until now, only users of the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, or S24 Ultra could access Galaxy AI. Nevertheless, a number of other Samsung devices will join the AI revolution thanks to this most recent upgrade. The Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, S23 Ultra, and Galaxy S23 FE are among the smartphones that will get the update. Furthermore, Samsung is expanding the use of Galaxy AI to foldable gadgets, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
In addition, the firm announced that owners of the Wi-Fi variants of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Tab S9 Plus, or Tab S9 (as well as other Samsung aficionados) could anticipate receiving the One UI 6.1 update “this week.”
For those who are not aware with Galaxy AI, it is a collection of AI-driven features intended to improve the user experience in a number of smartphone usage scenarios. Google’s Circle to Search function is the most popular among them; it lets users circle or scrawl anything on their screen to start a Google search right away. This function works really well for retrieving information quickly and is also quite convenient.
Apart from Circle to Search, Galaxy AI provides real-time translation capabilities for phone calls and in-person discussions, enabling users to easily overcome language hurdles. To meet the demands of a wide range of users, the package also contains powerful AI-driven photo editing tools and voice recording and note summarizing capabilities.
But not every feature is made equally. Although the AI-powered tone adjustment tool aims to improve typing tone, users should take caution when utilizing it because results may differ. All in all, though, the Galaxy AI feature set seems to significantly improve the Samsung user experience.
Crucially, Samsung has said that certain Galaxy AI features would continue to be available without charge through the end of 2025. Users should prepare for a switch to a paid model after that period, while specifics about cost and launch in 2026 are yet unknown.
If you’re the happy owner of any of the above listed Samsung tablets or smartphones, keep a look out for the One UI 6.1 update, which will bring with it the full suite of features offered by Galaxy AI. With this growth, Samsung is demonstrating its continued commitment to accessibility and innovation, making cutting-edge features available to a larger range of users. Prepare to enjoy a better Samsung experience thanks to Galaxy AI!
