Samsung has begun the rollout its One UI 6.1 update to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21 and others, bringing some of its Galaxy AI magic to older phones – or at least, some AI features to certain older phones.
After debuting One UI 6.1 on the Galaxy S24 range in February, Samsung stayed true to its word and brought some of its Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 in March and April.
Now it’s the turn of older Galaxy phones, with the One UI 6.1 update rolling out to older Samsung phones in South Korea, indicating that a wider release is likely imminent.
While the new update is arriving pretty much intact on the Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 4, there are apparently a number of major omissions on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy S21.
Indeed, the latter three phones are only getting Google Circle to Search. It appears the likes of Live Translation, Chat Assist, Generative Edit, and Browsing Assist will remain exclusive to flagship Samsung phones and tablets that hit the market in 2022 and later.
