Samsung is taking its technology Galaxy AI to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets. This comes just a few months after the software was revealed with the series Galaxy S24.
According to Samsung, on Sunday, May 12, anyone with a Galaxy S22 series phone, Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, and a Tab S8 series tablet will be able to download One UI 6.1 to get all the benefits of Galaxy AI. On the same day, owners of the Galaxy S21 series, Z Flip 3, and Z Fold 3 can download this update, but Galaxy AI features are limited to Circle to Search with Google and Chat Assist for these older devices. However, it’s still nice to see the love of AI making its way to more users.
In addition to the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy AI is also available in the series Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Tab S9. These people were able to download One UI 6.1 with the Galaxy AI update in March.
Galaxy AI comes with several features. Live Translate allows real-time translations of voice and text during phone calls. Generative Edit is a photo editing tool that helps adjust images. Chat Assist offers suggestions and translations adapted to the context. Transcript Assist uses artificial intelligence and speech-to-text technology to transcribe, summarize and translate voice recordings. Finally, Circle to Search with Google brings gestures to search, no matter where you are on your Android device.
Samsung had previously announced that its Galaxy AI features would be free until the end of 2025. However, it is unclear whether users will have to pay for the service starting in 2026. As of now, there is no need to worry about that.
So, in summary, the following phones will get full Galaxy AI features on May 12:
- Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
- Galaxy Z Flip 4
- Galaxy Tab S8, S8 Plus and S8 Ultra
The following Samsung devices only will receive Circle to Search with Google and Chat Assist:
- Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Fold 3
- Galaxy Z Flip 3
If you own any of these Samsung phones or tablets that support Galaxy AI, keep an eye out for the upcoming release of One UI 6.1.
