Samsung pointed at the hardware limitations on older devices to exclude them from Galaxy AI expansion
Galaxy S22 series.
This potential teaser by the company was first spotted by 9to5Google. Towards the end of the announcement post of increasing the number of ed languages for Galaxy AI, the company also listed the devices that currently the AI features. The post stated, “The newly ed Galaxy AI languages and dialects will each be available for as a language pack from the Settings app across all devices that Galaxy AI. That includes the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series, with more coming soon.”
The reason for speculation is the last four words of the paragraph. So far, there has been confusion on whether the company was going to devices older than the report revealed that TM Roh, the President of Samsung's mobile division, said in a shareholders' meeting in Seoul, “Resources and efforts are being invested. We are gradually preparing plans to a fully-fledged Galaxy AI experience [in the S22 series and older Samsung devices].”
However, other reports also highlighted that it might not be possible to bring these features to older devices given the hardware limitations. Although the post does not clarify whether it meant newer midrange Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Books lineup, or older devices. One suggested way to older devices is by making all the features on-server so the device does not have to bear the stress of managing the processing. Another method could be optimising these features for older devices. If this is done, s may not be able to experience the full experience of the feature but will still be able to use it in some form.
Adding Galaxy S24 series, the company said that these features would be free to use until the end of 2025, and a subscription fee might be charged afterwards. If the suite of features reaches more s, the smartphone maker will stand to rake in more revenue through this service.
