Adding to the AI buzz, today Samsung has rolled out its new and previously exclusive Galaxy AI features on older devices. Samsung’s One UI 6.1 software update is available now on compatible devices, which is “engineered to further the democratisation of mobile AI.”
Which phones are included?
So if you’re the lucky owner of any Galaxy S23 phones, along with the S23 FE and Z-series Fold5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 devices, the new AI features are available now. You can download the latest software via your phone’s system settings.
This brings last year’s devices up to speed with the Galaxy S24 smartphones, with the same on-device and cloud-based technology. No word yet if any of the AI features will be removed since the S24 has the fastest neural-processing capabilities, but we expect older devices to be powerful enough.
This is only the beginning of Galaxy AI, as we plan to bring the experience to over 100 million Galaxy users within 2024 and continue to innovate ways to harness the unlimited possibilities of mobile AI.
