At the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Series of devices last week, the star of the show was not necessarily the hardware of the devices which feel a little derivative over the past few renditions of the lineup, the AI features and capabilities were a little more intriguing.
The Galaxy AI features make the S24 devices probably the smartest and most versatile Android devices we have today. But these are still software features, no doubt made possible by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 running the show, but there are other devices, last year’s devices, which are still very capable, right?

Surely, some of these devices are capable enough and worthy of the latest and greatest AI features, right? Well, yes. So these models will get Galaxy AI features. At least for now.
- Galaxy S23,
- Galaxy S23+,
- Galaxy S23 Ultra,
- Galaxy S23 FE,
- Galaxy Z Fold5,
- Galaxy Z Flip5, and the
- Galaxy Tab S9 series
All of these will get their AI infusion in the first half of the year. It remains unclear whether older devices like the Galaxy S22 and S21 Series will see these AI features officially. Unofficially though, I bet we’re a few weeks away from seeing some of these features ported to these older devices by the developer community.
