Samsung to enhance millions of affordable phones with Galaxy AI
Samsung is reportedly planning to integrate its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features, known as Galaxy AI, into its mid-tier Galaxy A-series phones. This development was first reported by SamMobile, citing insider sources. The introduction of these advanced features will be a first for Samsung's mid-range devices and is expected to be implemented through the One UI 6.1.1 update.
Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 to be first recipients
The initial rollout of the Galaxy AI features is anticipated for the 2024 models, specifically the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. These models are equipped with faster chipsets and increased RAM, enabling them to support some of the advanced AI features. However, not all AI-assisted options will be available on these more affordable phones due to their lower processing power compared to high-end and flagship models.
Rollout timeline and feature inclusion remain uncertain
The exact timeline for the rollout of these features remains uncertain, with rumors suggesting it could occur "this month or the next." The introduction of these features could potentially boost sales for Samsung's latest A-series handsets. This move by the Korean tech giant aligns with a broader industry trend toward democratizing access to AI functionalities in more affordable handsets.
