New One UI 6.1 Update Brings Galaxy AI to More Galaxy Devices
Samsung accelerates the global expansion of mobile AI
Introduces holiday offers in conjunction with the upgrade enabling users to experience Galaxy AI on previous models
Hong Kong – March 27, 2024 – Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited today announced the availability of Galaxy AI[1] features on more Galaxy devices through a new One UI 6.1 update engineered to further the democratization of mobile AI. The update will be available in stages across the Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 series*, starting to roll out from March 29. Aligning with the recently launched Galaxy S24 series[2], this update elevates the standard of users’ mobile AI experience through a hybrid approach that combines on-device and cloud-based AI. A series of holiday offer invites the general public to enjoy the convenience and enhanced mobile experience powered by Galaxy AI.
“Our goal with Galaxy AI is not only to pioneer a new era of mobile AI, but also to empower users by making AI more accessible,” said Ms. Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited. “This is only the beginning of Galaxy AI, as we plan to bring the experience to over 100 million Galaxy users within 2024 and continue to innovate ways to harness the unlimited possibilities of mobile AI.”
Communication that Transcends Barriers
Even more Galaxy users will now be able to take advantage of the communication-enhancing Galaxy AI features available on AI-supported models. The features include the ability to perfect conversational tones by generating context-aware suggestions and translate messages in 13 different languages using Chat Assist[3]. Galaxy users can experience the power of real-time interactions through Live Translate[4], which provides voice and text translations for phone calls and makes multi-lingual communications much easier. With Interpreter, users can also engage in spontaneous conversations with locals while traveling as the split-screen feature generates text translations for live conversations.
Productivity Unparalleled
The broader integration of Galaxy AI across the Galaxy ecosystem also enables seamless user experience in day-to-day tasks on AI-supported models, driving new levels of efficiency. Search functions are improved through Circle to Search with Google[5], which generates insightful search results with a swift circle-motioned gesture on your display. Life-enhancing organization features such as Note Assist[6] allow users to create formats, generate summaries and translate notes, while Browsing Assist[7] enables individuals to stay up to speed faster by generating comprehensive summaries of news articles. Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to easily transcribe meeting recordings and generate summaries and translations.
Unstoppable Creativity for Your Inner Artist
With Galaxy AI, Samsung is doubling down on its role in unlocking individuals’ creative potential. Galaxy’s latest update delivers a suite of Galaxy AI tools that encourages creative freedom even after a photo is taken. Through Generative Edit[8], AI-supported devices can easily resize, reposition, or realign objects in photos to perfect a great shot. Users can also polish any photo faster and easier than ever with Edit Suggestion[9]. No need for multiple re-shots as Instant Slow-mo[10]can generate additional frames based on movements to slow down action-packed moments.
Creativity and personalization do not stop there. Customizing Galaxy devices is even easier than before through AI-generated wallpapers, enabling AI-supported devices to bring users’ creativity to life.
Starting from March 29, Galaxy AI features will be available in stages through One UI 6.1 update on additional models:
