Samsung has just announced that One UI 6.1 will start rolling out next month to a number of older Samsung smartphones and tablets, which will also bring Galaxy AI to these devices.
Unfortunately, the update isn’t set to roll out until “late March,” but things could always change, and it could speed up as well.
Samsung says that the Galaxy S23 Series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series are all getting the update, which includes all of the Galaxy AI features announced at Unpacked in January.
What Galaxy AI features are coming?
Samsung has also detailed which features are also coming to these devices as part of Galaxy AI. These include Circle to Search with Google, Live Translate, Interpreter, Chat Assist, and Generative Edit.
Circle to Search with Google is one of my favorite AI features so far, and it is very similar to the Google Lens features Google rolled out many years ago. Basically, you can long-press on the home button or at the bottom of your screen and then circle or highlight what you want to search. Then, you can get your search results as an overlay without needing to juggle different apps.
Live Translate and Interpreter are some really cool features to use when traveling. Live Translate can translate a phone call for you in almost real-time. There’s a bit of a lag between each end of the call as it is translating what is being said. The interpreter does translation over a split screen. So if you’re sitting next to someone who speaks a different language, you can easily communicate with them.
Following up with those features is Chat Assist. This feature is only available via the Samsung Keyboard, unfortunately, but it lets you adjust your message tone and translate messages into 13 different languages. And finally, there’s Generative Edit. This lets you edit your photos on your Galaxy device and use Generative AI to add to the photo, too.
