Samsung brings cutting-edge Galaxy AI features to older models - is your device on the list?
Remember when having last year's phone meant missing out on all the cool new features? Well, Samsung's changing that game. The tech giant announced yesterday that it's expanding its One UI 7 beta program to bring Galaxy AI capabilities to a wider range of devices - giving new life to phones and tablets you might already own.
Starting tomorrow (March 6), the beta program will roll out to Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 users in India, Korea, the UK, and the US. If you've been eyeing those fancy AI features but weren't ready to shell out for a brand new device, this is your chance to get in on the action.
Don't have one of those foldables? No worries! Samsung plans to extend the beta to even more devices within the month, including the Galaxy S23 series, Tab S10 series, and the more budget-friendly A55. The full official update is expected to launch sometime in April.
So what's the big deal with One UI 7 anyway? According to Samsung, it's not just another software update - it's a "significant leap forward" in mobile experiences. The company is integrating AI agents with multimodal capabilities throughout the interface, making your interactions with your device feel more natural and intuitive.
Think of it as having a smarter assistant that understands not just your words, but context, images, and patterns of how you use your phone. The goal is to have AI working quietly in the background, anticipating what you need before you even ask for it.
"One UI 7 marks a significant leap forward in creating a new kind of mobile experience where every interaction feels more intuitive than ever before," Samsung stated in their announcement.
Getting access to the beta is pretty straightforward - interested users can apply through the Samsung Members app. But as with any beta program, be prepared for potential bugs or performance issues. This is still test software, after all.
What's particularly interesting about this rollout is Samsung's commitment to bringing AI features to devices that aren't just their latest flagships. While many tech companies reserve new features exclusively for their newest (and most expensive) models, Samsung's approach potentially extends the useful life of devices you purchased a year or two ago.
Industry analysts have noted this strategy could help Samsung retain customers in an increasingly competitive smartphone market, where consumers are holding onto devices longer between upgrades.
The global expansion of Samsung's mobile AI capabilities comes as competition in the AI smartphone space heats up, with Google, Apple, and other manufacturers racing to integrate more advanced AI features into their devices.
