Samsung Galaxy S24 Review – The Perfect Small Phone?
Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 is more than just an entry-level flagship device, as it will deliver an excellent experience where it matters most
Samsung has announced that One UI 6.1 will start rolling out for older devices by late March. The list of supported devices includes all the devices announced by Samsung in 2023:
So, what features are included? Well, all of them! The live translator feature for phone calls, Chat Assist for tuning and translating messages in 13 languages, and even Interpreter will be available on older generation devices. However, what’s most interesting is that Circle to Search, which allows the user to just highlight content on the screen to get results about that item, will be available on older Galaxy devices.
Additionally, AI photo editing features like Generative Edit for resizing, repositioning, and realigning objects will also be available as well as Instant Slow-mo. Samsung will also be expanding the AI-generated wallpaper features to the older models. It is worth noting that these AI features do not solely work offline and instead use a hybrid on-device and cloud-based AI approach.
Samsung hasn’t provided a specific timeline but assures that these features will be available for older devices starting in late March. However, if you’re eager to try them out but don’t want the latest Samsung flagship, Amazon is currently offering various discounts on Galaxy S23 devices, so you can grab the year-old model and try these AI features next month.
