Samsung introduced a range of AI features on the Galaxy S24 series as a part of the Galaxy AI umbrella. These features will also be included in the One UI 6.1 update for owners of the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Fold 5, Flip 5, and Tab S9 series.

But there were rumors that the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung’s 2022 flagship lineup, wouldn’t receive this AI upgrade. However, recent statements from Samsung executives suggest that there might still be hope for the S22 family.

TM Roh, President of Samsung’s Mobile Division, mentioned during a general shareholders’ meeting that the company is actively exploring ways to bring Galaxy AI to older devices.

The challenge seems to lie in the fact that while some Galaxy AI features depend on cloud processing, others rely on on-device processing. And the Galaxy S22 series might lack the necessary hardware capabilities to support these AI features.

However, despite sharing the same chipsets as the S22, the S23 FE is expected to receive Galaxy AI features with the One Ui 6.1 update. So chipset shouldn’t specifically be an issue for the Galaxy S22 series, although Roh didn’t delve into the specifics.

Still Roh emphasized that overcoming these limitations will require “a lot of effort,” but Samsung is committed to investing resources to make it happen.

Whether the Galaxy S22 series will eventually gain these AI features remains uncertain. But learning that Samsung is not ruling out the hope entirely is certainly promising.

In another interesting development, TM Roh also confirmed that Samsung is working on its innovative foldable and rollable devices. 

Roh’s statements suggest that Samsung is evaluating the commercial viability of such form factors and working to secure necessary patents for their development to progress.
