Last week, Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S24 lineup equipped with the AI-powered Galaxy AI platform. Running Android 14 and One UI 6.1, the S24 series leapfrogs other Samsung devices on UI version (all earlier models are on One UI 6).
Naturally, Galaxy users wondered if their existing Samsung phones are also getting AI upgrades. Samsung has confirmed that many Galaxy AI features will indeed come to older flagships.
One UI 6.1 With AI Features for 8 Older Models
Specifically, the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and Galaxy Tab S9 devices will receive an AI infusion in H1 2024 via the One UI 6.1 update. This key software upgrade is slated for rollout across these 8 models by end of June 2024.
While not all capabilities of the new Galaxy AI on S24 family will make it, a sizable chunk will. Samsung is yet to detail which exact functionalities will arrive and which may remain S24 exclusives.
But AI-based enhancements are guaranteed in areas including intelligent photo editing, adaptive display, Bixby routines, battery optimization, device maintenance and more.
