Which Older Samsung Phones Are Getting Galaxy AI?

Samsung plans to roll out Galaxy AI, the coveted set of AI features introduced alongside the Galaxy S24 series, to its older models over a software update in 2024. But not all Samsung phones are eligible. Find out if your Galaxy device makes the list.

Samsung's List of Galaxy AI-Compatible Devices

In a Samsung Newsroom post, the Korean smartphone giant officially announced the list of devices that will support Galaxy AI with the One UI 6.1 software update. Besides older smartphones, Samsung is bringing Galaxy AI to its tablet lineup. Here's the list of compatible phones and tablets:

• Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, and S23 FE
• Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5
• Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9+, and Tab S9 Ultra

As you can see, all the premium phones and tablets Samsung released in 2023 are eligible to receive some of the best Galaxy AI features. Lower-end models like the Galaxy A54, Galaxy Tab S9 FE/FE+, and Galaxy A23, won't get Galaxy AI, likely because their hardware just isn't capable enough.

When Will Samsung Release One UI 6.1 With Galaxy AI?

According to the announcement, Samsung will start rolling out One UI 6.1 from the end of March. We don't have an exact date yet, but you should see a software update prompt on your compatible Galaxy phone or tablet in the last week of March. With One UI 6.1, Samsung plans to bring Galaxy AI to 100 million users in 2024:

“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.”

9to5Google reported that One UI 6.1 will also make its way to older flagships like the Galaxy S22 and S21 series later in 2024, but unfortunately, Galaxy AI won't be a part of it.

Which Galaxy AI Features Are Coming to Older Phones?

The fine print on Samsung's Newsroom post confirms that some of the S24's Galaxy AI features won't be available on all older devices. Samsung promises the following features once you update your Android phone to One UI 6.1:

• Live Translate and Interpreter
• Chat Assist
• Note Assist
• Circle to Search with Google
• Generative Edit and Edit Suggestion
• Instant Slow-mo
• Browsing Assist
• Transcript Assist

Instant Slow-mo won't be available for the Galaxy S23 FE.

On top of these features, compatible Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1 will also let you generate AI wallpapers with text prompts.

However, it's worth noting that some Galaxy AI features like Live Translate, Note Assist, Chat Assist, and Generative Edit require you to log in with a Samsung account. Also, Chat Assist will be limited to Samsung Keyboard, whereas Browsing Assist requires you to use the Samsung Internet browser.

We believe that Samsung's decision to bring Galaxy AI to older models is a step in the right direction. It shows the company's commitment to supporting older devices in the long run. However, the One UI 6.1 update with Galaxy AI features could discourage some users from upgrading to the S24 or S24 Ultra.
