Galaxy AI is Samsung’s biggest set of novelty features introduced this year. However, due to the platform’s resource-hungry nature, it has only been available on flagship Galaxy smartphones, leaving its more popular mid-range devices unsupported. It appears that Samsung might be working on bringing some of these tools to its mid-range offerings.

First Galaxy mid-rangers to get Galaxy AI

Citing unnamed sources, SamMobile reported that Samsung plans to ship Galaxy AI to the Galaxy A55 (review) and Galaxy A35 (review). These features are touted to be added via the One UI 6.1.1 update, which should be released this month or in September, depending on how quickly Samsung can iron the firmware out.

If this materializes, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 will be the first Samsung mid-ranger handsets to take advantage of the company's generative AI features. However, the news outlet noted that only select Galaxy AI features will be enabled due to the chipset limitation in these devices, which is unsurprising.

It's unknown which of those functions will make the cut, but it is safe to say that Galaxy AI's Circle to Search, AI photo editing, and live translation will be included, similar to the Galaxy S23 FE (review). Meanwhile, tools that rely on intensive processing like slow-motion and generative image creation could most likely be excluded.

Surprisingly, despite having several older Galaxy A models fitted with the same chipset as the two mentioned models, such as the Galaxy A54 (review) sharing the same Exynos 1380 SoC, these devices will not have Galaxy AI enabled. There was also no word whether there are plans to support them in the future.

Even so, Galaxy AI is already available on a wide range of Samsung Galaxy devices, including older tablets and foldable smartphones. In addition to the current list, Samsung is expected to add more AI features that debuted with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 (review) and Galaxy Z Flip 6 (review), such as Draw Assist and Portrait Studio.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
