Samsung‘s latest software update, One UI 6.1, debuted on the Galaxy S24 series and boasts several AI-powered features. While the update brings minimal visual tweaks to Samsung’s interface, the software within brings some new functionalities.

Samsung Galaxy One UI 6.1 update

One UI 6.1 introduces new AI-powered features like “Live Translate” for real-time phone call translation, “Generative Edit” for advanced photo manipulation, and “Generative Wallpapers” for AI-designed customizable backgrounds. These additions aren’t revolutionary, but they offer practical functionality, with Live Translate potentially proving particularly useful for bridging communication gaps.

Which Galaxy devices are getting One UI 6.1 next?

Additionally, the One UI 6.1 update won’t be exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung has already confirmed a rollout for several other devices, including:

  • Galaxy S23
  • Galaxy S23+
  • Galaxy S23 Ultra
  • Galaxy S23 FE
  • Galaxy Tab S9
  • Galaxy Tab S9+
  • Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
  • Galaxy Z Fold 5
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5

The One UI 6.1 update on these devices will be rolled out in the first half of 2024. Similarly, One UI 6.1 test builds have also been spotted for these devices so far (via Android Authority):

  • Galaxy S22 series
  • Galaxy S21 series
  • Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4
  • Galaxy S21 FE
  • Galaxy A54
  • Galaxy A34

It’s worth noting that on older devices the more complex AI features may not function as smoothly due to less powerful processors. They might require an internet connection for processing, unlike the Galaxy S24’s partial on-device capabilities. Furthermore, not every feature might be available on all devices receiving the update.

Also, some of Samsung’s latest AI features will be free only “until the end of 2025.” After that, they might require a subscription, but Samsung hasn’t provided details on this yet. This means that even the new Galaxy S24 series could lose access to some AI features after 2025.
