Samsung’s new flagship phone Galaxy S24 series comes with a host of new artificial intelligence features. These are expected to appear on Galaxy devices released in 2023 via the One UI 6.1 update. Samsung has previously said that the One UI 6.1 update will be rolled out in March 2024, and the company is running out of time to meet its self-imposed deadline. However, there are indications that One UI 6.1 will be released this week.
in a postal Over on X (formerly Twitter), Tarun Vats shared a notification from Samsung that OneUI 6.1 will start rolling out in China on March 28 (via 9to5Google ). The notification is quite specific, covering the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra. In addition to being limited to these devices, it also clearly confirms a release date for users in China, rather than those in the rest of the world. There’s reason to expect One UI 6.1 to debut in other regions this week, though.
Attention all Galaxy S23 users! According to the notification received today, One UI 6.1 will be officially launched in China on March 28th, hopefully it will also come to Asia and Europe 🤞🤞Retweet to show your excitement #GalaxyS23 #OneUI #OneUI6 #GalaxyS23Ultra #OneUI6dot1 #Samsung pic.twitter .com/G7o33TjeBoMarch 23, 2024
Samsung has released the One UI 6.1 update for the first time as day-one software for the Galaxy S24 series. It includes the new Galaxy AI suite of artificial intelligence-enhanced software features, and users were quick to speculate whether the tools would appear on older phones. Later, the company confirmed that the Galaxy AI feature will be available on Galaxy devices released in 2023. Currently, the Galaxy S22 series released in 2022 is excluded, but that may change.
It looks like Samsung will start rolling out One UI 6.1 on Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra devices. However, the company has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Tab S9 series will also get One UI 6.1. According to a system notification sent by Samsung to Chinese users, the feature may start with the Galaxy S23 series and appear on other Galaxy devices in 2023 in the following days or weeks.
Galaxy S23 series owners should keep an eye out for an update this week, although it’s not guaranteed. Galaxy S22 series users still have a glimmer of hope of getting Galaxy AI, but even that’s still a long way off.
