- Samsung confirmed that more of its past devices will receive One UI 6.1 in “early May” with Galaxy AI features.
- The Galaxy S22, Flip 4, Fold 4, and Tab S8 series will get every Galaxy AI feature except Instant Slow-mo for videos.
- The Galaxy S21, Flip 3, and Fold 3 are the only two eligible for Galaxy AI features because the hardware capabilities of these devices can’t handle more.
Samsung has confirmed that several of its older 2021 and 2022 devices will get Galaxy AI features “in early May.”
According to a community post, Samsung is preparing to roll out its One UI 6.1 update, with some devices launched between 2021 and 2022 packed with Galaxy AI.
The Galaxy S22 series, Flip 4, Fold 4, and Tab S8 series will get the same Galaxy AI features as the S23 FE. This means that the devices will receive everything. except As for Instant Slow-mo, Samsung notably left out the recent FE series during its confirmation in February.
The Galaxy S21 series, Flip 3, and Fold 3 are in the crosshairs of just two Galaxy AI features: Google’s “Circle to Search” and Chat Assist.
Aside from an “early May” rollout window, Samsung hasn’t given a more concrete date. However, One UI 6.1 on these older devices may come with company-specific monthly security patches.
Samsung’s confirmation of Galaxy AI coming to several more previous-generation devices comes a day after it revealed more language support for the software. Samsung teased that more devices will carry its AI, and the Galaxy S22 is one of the series we have in mind. The company’s head of mobile, TM Roh, said in March that Samsung was exploring the possibilities of Galaxy AI on the two-year-old series.
The main problem was hardware, as Galaxy AI relies heavily on this area. This is the only reason behind the lack of instant slow-mo and the missing features of the Galaxy S21, Flip 3 and Fold 3.
More recent phones, such as the Galaxy S23 series and last year’s foldables, received the One UI 6.1 update in late March. This patch brought Live Translate, Samsung’s Generative Edit and more to owners of eligible devices.
