A few days ago the first Samsung Galaxy devices that would receive One UI 6.1, the new update based on Android 14 which is Packed with AI features to enhance the experience completely user-friendly. The tech giant has now confirmed the first phones that will receive this update.
Just two days ago, the Galaxy S24 series was introduced to the world with few design changes, some significant hardware improvements such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, and a few Stunning experiences powered by generative AI. These new Android phones bring significant improvements to the software, so there is a big desire to receive them on older Samsung phones.
Among all these innovations in AI, possibility of translating texts directly in applications like WhatsAppthe new “Circle to Search” gesture that allows you to search anything generated on the mobile screen, generative editing, AI-based wallpapers, Live translation for calls or this amazing option to add slow motion to videos with a simple long touch.
All these features add great value to Samsung’s commitment to its flagship products, which also include some important hardware features such as the change of the telephoto camera of the S24 Ultrato leave aside the 10x zoom present in the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra.
There are more details about these phones, but The software received the most applause in their presentation at Galaxy Unpacked. The same function of Live translation It’s a fantastic experience to translate a call in real time and one that many users will surely use; especially those who, due to their profession, have to travel from one country to another.
Galaxy phones that receive One UI 6.1
But what is interesting is knowing which Galaxy phones will receive this new update, although using a little logic you will be able to understand which ones will be first; especially when Just under two years ago, Samsung expanded updates to Android in five years.
The Korean company has confirmed which devices will receive the One UI 6.1 update first in the coming months. A new version that owners of the Galaxy S23 Ultra will appreciate, and this mobile phone has been a revolution for the company’s interests thanks to the sales it has made in Europe and other regions. These are the first cell phones
- Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra.
- Galaxy S23 FE.
- Galaxy Tab S9, S9+ and S9 Ultra.
- Galaxy Z Fold 5.
- Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The AI features they would have
There is another important aspect to take into account, according to 9to5Google, and is related to the AI features that will come to these phones with the next update. Many of them are operated or processed from the same device. It is they do not send data to an external server to process calculations which are necessary to generate a generative edit or create an AI wallpaper. The calculations for many of these Galaxy S24 AI functions are done entirely on-device or so-called on the device.
And here comes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which is perhaps currently the best chip for mobile phones, which is the central axis for all the aforementioned calculations to be processed. on the device. Of course, this SoC offers incredible performance: 4 nanometer processor capable of performing 30% and being 20% more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip
So the new Qualcomm chip is able to handle all of these AI calculations, which means that the AI functions that would come to the older Samsung Galaxy would be processed partly from the device, because they use an older chip ( the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), and the rest would be sent to an external server for processing via mobile data connection or WiFi.
The thing is that Samsung has two options: Either cover Samsung Galaxy phones with some AI functions, or bring almost all of them so that they are partly processed from an external server due to hardware limitations. It becomes complicated for all of them to arrive, since one way or another some have to remain exclusive in the new Galaxy S24, a reason that makes all the logic in the world.
And therefore, Samsung has already confirmed that the AI functions will remain free until the end of 2025 so that the Korean manufacturer will then offer subscription plans to be able to enjoy them from the device. Also confirm that Tech giant goes all out on artificial intelligence to increase user experience to previously unknown levels.
