Free Samsung Galaxy update for 1.8m users - full list of phones getting new upgrade

A series of new AI features have been announced

Almost two million Galaxy smartphone users could be eligible for a free Samsung upgrade. A series of clever AI features have been announced by the Korean technology firm, with a number of devices set to benefit.

Updates include live translation which can translate phone calls in real time. For example, if you ring a hotel in Spain but do not speak a word of Spanish, your device will automatically help you understand what is said.

There is also Clever Circle to Search, which offers instant search results from Google when you circle something in a photo. It should help speed up the process of finding things online.

Note Assist is another useful function, making notes more exciting and easy to read. It will automatically format your notes and generate summaries, MirrorOnline reports.

Transcript Assist will help if you want to make notes during a meeting by transcribing meeting recordings and generating summaries and translations. The camera on devices is also getting a boost with the firm bringing out Instant Slow-mo.

This will turn any video already shot into a slow-motion movie. Clever AI can be used to edit photos including removing and moving objects without needing any Photoshop skills.

The changes will start rolling out towards the end of March on devices including the Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 series. James Kitto, vice president and head of MX Division at Samsung UK and Ireland, said: "In January of this year we announced a new era of mobile AI with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series incorporating Galaxy AI.

"The performance to date has been extremely positive. Our global mission is to make AI more accessible, and that’s why we’re proud to be announcing that Galaxy AI features will be made available across a range of Samsung mobile devices throughout 2024, and for us here in the UK that’s over 1.8 million customers who will receive a Galaxy AI update on their current Galaxy device."
