Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3 to Get Only Two Galaxy AI Features With One UI 6.1 Update

Samsung Galaxy S21 series is set to receive the One UI 6.1 update, along with the company’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable phones. However, unlike more recent models from the South Korean smartphone maker, these three handsets will only gain support for two new Galaxy AI features. One the past few months, Samsung has been rolling out One UI 6.1 to recent Galaxy Z and Galaxy S series phones, with support for up to 10 AI-powered features.

The company confirmed on Friday that Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 users will get access to two Galaxy AI features: Circle to Search and Chat Assist. The company’s announcement also contains a footnote stating that it will provide Galaxy AI features “for free until the end of 2025” — the same message that was shown on the company’s website when the Galaxy S24 series was launched earlier this year. 

With the One UI 6.1 update, owners of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be able to use the Circle to Search feature that is currently exclusive to smartphones from Samsung and Google. Users can log press the navigation pill to summon an overlay that lets them draw around, scribble, or highlight a part of the screen to perform a visual lookup — without leaving the app they are using.

Chat Assist, another AI feature that is designed to help users compose texts in different languages, via seamless translation of incoming or outgoing messages, is also coming to all three handsets. Samsung says the feature is also designed to work with third party apps, which means users won’t have to open a translation app while messaging another user. Chat Assist is also designed to help users change the tone of their messages, according to the company.

Samsung’s announcement that it will update the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 with these two features confirms that the company’s other Galaxy AI functionality won’t be making its way to these older handsets. AI features that won’t be a part of the update include Interpreter, Live Translate, Note Assist, Transcript Assist, Browsing Assist, Generative Edit, Edit Suggestion and AI-Generated Wallpaper.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Could Feature ‘Battery AI’ for Improved Battery Life: Report

Samsung might be working on a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered feature dubbed Battery AI that could let users save up to 10 percent of battery life in next year’s Galaxy S25 series and future flagships. Reports have suggested that the expected next-generation S-series smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra — could arrive with no upgrades to battery capacity. However, the battery expenditure could increase given the new AI features. The tech giant is reportedly aiming to offset that with its Battery AI feature.

The information comes from tipster PandaFlash (via Wfcctech) who made a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) highlighting that the South Korean tech giant is working on a new AI feature called Battery AI. The tipster claimed, based on an unnamed source, that the feature will save between five to ten percent of battery life in the company’s future flagship models. Notably, he did not mention how the feature achieves this.

While the workings of Battery AI were not specified, it is believed that it will not use the techniques of traditional battery-saving software that throttle the CPU and GPU and block background activity to make the battery last longer. However, since it is also a software-based feature, it will not improve the battery life at a hardware level. It could use on-device intelligence to automatically stop the background activity of apps that have not been used for a while or activate settings to stop system functionalities based on user behaviour.

For instance, it might track the sleeping time of a user and during that period it can automatically pause notification alerts, reduce brightness, turn off the always-on display, and similar features. It could also do the same when the device is inactive for an extended period during the daytime. It is difficult to know for sure till Samsung makes an official announcement.

Notably, the tipster did not mention the Galaxy S25 series in the post, however, it is likely given all the recent updates by PandaFlash were directed for the next year’s S-series phones. This feature is likely to be a part of the Galaxy AI ecosystem. If the reports of Samsung not increasing the battery capacity of next year’s S25 series are true, this feature could be crucial for users to get the most out of the limited battery life.

Samsung One UI 6.1.1 Update Tipped to Bring a Video AI Feature for Galaxy Smartphones

Samsung could be gearing up to introduce another artificial intelligence (AI)-powered feature later this year, as per a new leak. A tipster has revealed that the company is planning to introduce a feature dubbed Video AI with the One UI 6.1.1 update. This could be part of Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite of features which was unveiled in January and brought features such as Circle to Search, Live Translation, Interpreter, and more. Notably, Google and Samsung are collaborating to develop new AI features for the Android ecosystem.

According to tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly known as Twitter), the South Korean tech giant is working on a Video AI feature that it plans to ship with the One UI 6.1.1 update. The update is believed to be unveiled at the next Galaxy Unpacked event where the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to launch. While nothing is known about what this new feature will do, the name does leave some hints to speculate.

The tech giant has added generative AI photo editing features with the Galaxy S24 series that allow users to resize, remove, or reposition objects within the image. However, there are no such features for video editing yet. Video AI could refer to AI-powered editing tools which can make the same edits as the photo editor but for videos. Another possibility could be AI text-to-video generation, however, it is unlikely since this technology is at a very nascent stage with companies such as OpenAI still working on its Sora model.

However, these are just speculations and if such a feature is indeed in the works, details will only be known at the next Galaxy Unpacked event which is rumoured to be held in July. For now, Samsung users with Galaxy AI-supported smartphones can use features such as Circle to Search for quick visual lookups, Chat Assist for improvements to typed messages, Note Assist in Notes app that can summarise, translate, and format the text, and more.

Earlier this month, Samsung confirmed that all its flagship devices from 2022 will get Galaxy AI features with One UI 6.1 starting in May.

Samsung’s Galaxy AI Update Hints at the Possibility of Expanding the Features to More Devices

Samsung could expand its native artificial intelligence (AI) suite of features for its smartphones, Galaxy AI, to more devices. On Wednesday, the South Korean tech giant announced a new update to Galaxy AI that added support for new languages and dialects. In the same post, the company hinted that the suite of features could be introduced to more devices soon. This has led to speculation on whether these features can be brought to older devices such as the Galaxy S22 series.

This potential teaser by the company was first spotted by 9to5Google. Towards the end of the announcement post of increasing the number of supported languages for Galaxy AI, the company also listed the devices that currently support the AI features. The post stated, “The newly supported Galaxy AI languages and dialects will each be available for download as a language pack from the Settings app across all devices that support Galaxy AI. That includes the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series, with more coming soon.”

The reason for speculation is the last four words of the paragraph. So far, there has been confusion on whether the company was going to support devices older than the Galaxy S23 series for the AI features, given some of the features were offered on-device that required powerful hardware to carry out the processing. Last month, a report revealed that TM Roh, the President of Samsung’s mobile division, said in a shareholders’ meeting in Seoul, “Resources and efforts are being invested. We are gradually preparing plans to support a fully-fledged Galaxy AI experience [in the S22 series and older Samsung devices].”

However, other reports also highlighted that it might not be possible to bring these features to older devices given the hardware limitations. Although the post does not clarify whether it meant newer midrange Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Books lineup, or older devices. One suggested way to support older devices is by making all the features on-server so the device does not have to bear the stress of managing the processing. Another method could be optimising these features for older devices. If this is done, users may not be able to experience the full experience of the feature but will still be able to use it in some form.

Adding Galaxy AI capabilities to a wider range of devices is also in the best interest of Samsung. At the time of launching the feature alongside the Galaxy S24 series, the company said that these features would be free to use until the end of 2025, and a subscription fee might be charged afterwards. If the suite of features reaches more users, the smartphone maker will stand to rake in more revenue through this service.

Samsung Galaxy AI Update Adds Support for More Languages and Dialects

Samsung updated its native artificial intelligence (AI) suite of features for its smartphones, Galaxy AI, with support for new languages and dialects. The update has added three new languages and three dialects to the AI tool. The additions are part of the South Korean tech giant’s Spring 2024 update. The company has also revealed its plans to add four more languages and two more dialects later this year. Once those languages are added, it will bring the total number of supported languages to 20.

The announcement was made by Samsung US newsroom’s post. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, said, “Committed to democratizing mobile AI for all, Galaxy AI’s language expansion this year will allow even more Galaxy users to communicate beyond language barriers on a scale that is completely unique to Samsung. We will continue to innovate our technology and pioneer premium mobile AI experiences so that even more users are equipped with the right tools to unleash their unlimited potential.”

The three new languages which are being added to Galaxy AI are Arabic, Indonesian, and Russian. Alongside Australian English, Cantonese, and Canadian French dialects are also being added. Further, later this year, Samsung is planning to add four more languages including Romanian, Turkish, Dutch and, Swedish. Two more dialects — traditional Chinese and European Portuguese — will also be added.

Language support is important for several features in Galaxy AI. For instance, Live Translate which produces two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls, requires the AI to understand the language and dialect in order to translate them. Similarly, the Interpreter feature can instantly translate live conversations through a split-screen view so that two people standing opposite each other can see each other’s translation. This also requires language support for the AI to analyse speech.

Galaxy AI was introduced by the tech giant with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. However, recently, it was expanded to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series through the One UI 6.1 update.

Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, More to Receive One UI 6.1 Update With Galaxy AI on March 28

Samsung announced the rollout timeline for the One UI 6.1 update, which is now confirmed to bring the Galaxy AI artificial intelligence (AI) features to more devices across the Galaxy ecosystem on Tuesday. The company confirmed that the AI features will be added to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series. The announcement comes after a report recently revealed that some Galaxy S23 series users in China were allegedly notified about the new update.

In its newsroom post, Samsung revealed that the One UI 6.1 update, the first major update to the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 that was released in October 2023, will begin rolling out across the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the US starting March 28. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series will also get the update beginning this week. Most users are expected to begin receiving the update in April. While the company did not mention a global rollout, it is expected to be available in all regions next month.

Making the announcement, the company said, “Galaxy AI puts our groundbreaking suite of AI tools in the palm of more users’ hands in different form factors — tailoring the mobile experience to their needs.”

The South Korean tech giant first announced the expansion of Galaxy AI features to more devices earlier in March. Now, once the update rolls out, users will be able to use features such as Circle to Search, which adds the capability to draw a circle to highlight or select an object and run a visual search on Google, all while staying on the app. Another feature is Live Translate which allows two-way, real-time voice and live caption translations of phone calls. Samsung’s AI-based photo editing tool Generative Edit as well as Chat Assist in Samsung Keyboard will also arrive with the One UI 6.1 update.

Last week, a report highlighted that TM Roh, the President of Samsung’s mobile division, said at the company’s shareholders’ meeting in Seoul that some of the Galaxy AI features could also be expanded to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The series was reportedly not considered to get the AI features due to a lack of required hardware capabilities.

Samsung One UI 6.1 With Galaxy AI Might Debut on Galaxy S23 Series This Week

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 was announced in January with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series. The Android 14-based custom skin includes several AI-based features, dubbed Galaxy AI, could reach older Galaxy handsets soon. Last year’s Galaxy S23 series and its latest foldables were said to get Galaxy AI features initially. Samsung has allegedly notified some Galaxy S23 series users in China that a new update will be landing on March 28. The global rollout may take place later.

Samsung enthusiast Tarun Vats on X claimed that the company has notified some Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra users in China that a new update will be landing on March 28. The tipster posted a screenshot on the microblogging platform highlighting the notification. Separately, he posted that the Galaxy S23 FE in Korea will also get all the AI functions of the Galaxy S24. If this rumour turns out to be true, we can expect a wider rollout in the coming weeks.

A month ago, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S23 series and latest foldables will receive the new One UI 6.1 update sometime in March. The company didn’t reveal an exact release date for the update. The Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphones are confirmed to be the first to receive the new custom skin. The Galaxy S23 FE, and Galaxy Tab S9 series are also believed to get the update in the first half of this year.

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 includes many AI-backed features Live Translate, Chat Assist, Note Assist, and Circle to Search as part of the new Galaxy AI experience introduced on the Galaxy S24 lineup. The Chat Assist functionality can be used to translate languages in real-time or perform tone corrections in texts and emails. The Google-backed Circle to Search combines text-based queries with visual search. Live Translate is effective for two-way real-time voice and text translations of phone calls. Samsung plans to bring the Galaxy AI to over 100 million devices worldwide this year.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series AI Features Will Only Remain Free Until 2025, Website Shows

Samsung Galaxy S24 series was unveiled by the company at an event in California on Wednesday, and the company spent most of its presentation showing off new artificial intelligence (AI) features that are powered by the company’s Galaxy AI technology. However, a footnote on Samsung’s web pages for the new Galaxy S24 series models reveals the Galaxy AI features will only be available on supported Samsung Galaxy devices for a two-year period. The company is also bringing Galaxy AI features to select older devices.

On the device pages for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Galaxy S24, and Galaxy S24+, the company has touted the new AI features offered by the three models. Meanwhile, a footnote at the bottom of the page clearly states “Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties.”

While this means that customers who buy a Samsung Galaxy S24 series handset will have access to these features at no additional cost until the end of 2025, there’s no word from the company on whether customers will have to shell out more money to access these features after the two-year period.

Samsung is not the first company to launch software features on new smartphone models that will be provided at no additional cost for a limited time period. Apple launched the iPhone 14 series of smartphones with support for a new Emergency SOS via Satellite feature that will be available for free until November 2025. Companies might charge for a service in order to ensure that it is sustainable.

However, the wording of Samsung’s footnote is unclear as to whether all of the company’s AI-powered Phone, Messages, Gallery, and Notes app features will be part of a subscription, or if the company will simply charge for third-party AI-powered features like Circle to Search that was created in partnership with Google. We can expect the company to share more details on the cost of these AI powered features in the future.

Samsung Partners With Instagram, Snapchat to Ensure Full Camera Quality in Their Apps

Samsung Galaxy S24 series was launched on Wednesday (January 17) during the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event with upgraded cameras and new AI photo-editing features. During the event, the South Korean smartphone brand announced that it has partnered with Instagram and Snapchat to offer the same camera quality on the apps as the stock camera app on the Galaxy S24 series. With this update, these third-party photo and video-sharing platforms will be able to take full advantage of the capabilities of the primary camera of Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.

During the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung announced the integration of Galaxy AI-powered camera features with Meta-owned Instagram and Snapchat. This would allow Galaxy S24 users to access native camera experiences, including Nightography, Super HDR advanced AI image editing, and video stabilisation while capturing photos or videos using Instagram’s or Snapchat’s cameras.

On previous-generation smartphones, the cameras of social media apps usually take a screenshot of the viewfinder downgrading the quality and lacking details. The Galaxy S24 trio will be the first-ever smartphone camera to have HDR-enabled photos on Instagram.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a quad camera setup, comprising a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 10-megapixel camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ have an identical triple rear camera setup, comprising a 50-megapixel wide camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. On the front, all three phones have a 12-megapixel selfie sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S24 series is available for pre-booking in India starting today (January 18). The price of Galaxy S24 Ultra in the country starts at Rs. 1,29,999. The Galaxy S24 has an initial price tag of Rs. 79,999, while the price of the Galaxy S24+ starts at Rs. 99,999.

Samsung Previews ‘Galaxy AI,’ Live Call Translation Feature for Galaxy Phones

Samsung has been trying to catch up to the AI frenzy as manufacturers around the world race to infuse AI-powered features and tools to their products and services. The South Korean technology conglomerate is also said to be planning to launch its next generation of flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S24 series, with AI capabilities. Now, the company has provided a preview of ‘Galaxy AI,’ Samsung’s AI-powered mobile experience that promises to simplify productivity, boost creativity, and change the way users interact with their phones. Samsung also announced a live call translation feature that utilises artificial intelligence.

In a newsroom post on Thursday, Samsung provided a glimpse of Galaxy AI, an on-device universal intelligence that the company claims can perform a variety of tasks. “Galaxy AI is a comprehensive mobile AI experience, powered by both on-device AI developed at Samsung and cloud-based AI enabled by our open collaborations with like-minded industry leaders,” the post said. “It will transform your everyday mobile experience with the peace of mind you count on from Galaxy security and privacy.”

Galaxy AI is coming early next year, Samsung says, but there’s no word on a release date. One could expect the company to bundle its AI offering with its next Galaxy S series of smartphones. Samsung is speculated to unveil the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra in January 2024, which aligns with the launch timeline provided for Galaxy AI.

Samsung also provided sparse details on an AI Live Translate Call feature that would work as a personal translator for Galaxy phone users. The translation tool will be integrated with the native calling feature and will provide audio and text translations of your call in real-time as you speak. Samsung says the feature would be powered by on-device Galaxy AI and would thus ensure that your conversations remain private.

“Galaxy AI is our most comprehensive intelligence offering to date, and it will change how we think about our phones forever,” Wonjoon Choi, EVP and Head of R&D, Mobile eXperience Business, said in the post.

Last month, it was reported that Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series would come packed with AI features. According to the report, Samsung wants to make the upcoming Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra “the smartest AI phones ever”, surpassing even Google’s latest Pixel 8 lineup. The upcoming phones could include AI features resembling popular chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Bard.

Google launched the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro last month with AI-backed features like Magic Editor and Audio Eraser. The phones, powered by the Tensor G3 chipset, bring AI integration to many of Google’s native apps and services. It seems Samsung now intends to do the same with its Galaxy smartphones.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 alongside the Galaxy Tab S9 series and Galaxy Watch 6 series at its first Galaxy Unpacked event in South Korea. We discuss the company’s new devices and more on the latest episode of Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast. Orbital is available on Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.
