Samsung continues to bring the latest version of its custom Android skin, One UI 6.1, to more devices. Originally, this version debuted alongside the Galaxy S24 family of phones, but other devices such as the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 have already been updated.
One UI 6.1 includes artificial intelligence features of Galaxy AI, but not all devices will benefit from the same features, some will be exclusive to the most recent models. In the case of the Galaxy S21 family and foldable devices arriving in 2021, Samsung has already confirmed which AI functions these devices will receive.
Not all Galaxy AI features are coming, but more than expected
It was initially expected that the Galaxy S21 and third-generation foldables would only receive one AI feature, Circle to Search. However, Samsung has confirmed that it will receive one of the most useful and interesting features of Galaxy AI: Chat Assist.
Chat Assist allows you to have a translator integrated directly into our chat windows
It is a really useful function for communicating with people in other languages without having to switch from chat to a translation app. Additionally, Chat Assist also offers spelling and even style suggestions when writing (we may ask you to edit a sentence to give it a more formal style, for example).
Circle to Search and Chat Assist are coming to the following devices with the update to One UI 6.1:
Although these devices do not benefit from many of Samsung’s AI features, such as real-time call translator and advanced image editing tools with generative AI, it is still good news that Samsung is offering at least two of the most interesting features of its platform
On the other hand, there were originally rumors that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 would receive even more Galaxy AI features, but unfortunately those have been debunked. The two third-generation Samsung foldable phones will receive the same functions.
The update to One UI 6.1 has already started reaching these devices, first in South Korea. In the coming weeks we will see its launch around the world.
