Samsung Galaxy S23 phones will get Galaxy AI in late March

Right now, you want a Galaxy S24 cellphone to make use of the very newest AI options from Samsung, however that’s altering subsequent month. In late March, Samsung will prolong Galaxy AI options to the S23 sequence — together with the S23 FE — in addition to latest foldables and tablets as a part of the One UI 6.1 replace. It’s all free for now, however after 2025 you may need to pay up.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are slated to get the replace, in addition to the Galaxy Tab S9, S9 Plus, and S9 Ultra. If Samsung needs to ship Galaxy AI to 100 million phones this yr prefer it says it will, that’s a stable begin. The One UI 6.1 replace will embody the much-touted AI options on the S24 sequence, together with stay translation capabilities, generative picture and video enhancing, and Google’s Circle to Search function. This suite of options consists of a mixture of on- and off-device processing, similar to it does on the S24 sequence.

An older cellphone studying new methods is unequivocally a superb factor, even when Galaxy AI is a bit little bit of a combined bag proper now. But my general impression is that these options do often come in helpful, and after they go sideways they’re largely innocent. One UI 6.1 will additionally embody a handful of helpful non-AI updates, reminiscent of lockscreen widgets and the brand new, unified Quick Share.
