Galaxy AI is coming to more Samsung devices, and soon.

On Thursday, Samsung announced that the Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and Tab S9 series are poised to get Galaxy AI in late March. Galaxy AI, a focal point of this year's Samsung Unpacked, is an AI model on newer Samsung devices that enables features like live translation, summarizing text, drafting messages, and some snazzy photo editing tools.

The Galaxy S24 series, unveiled at Samsung Unpacked, is already fully loaded with Galaxy AI. But now, Galaxy AI is rolling out to other models with the One UI 6.1 update.

According to TechRadar, the Samsung Galaxy S22 won't be getting Galaxy AI, but the Samsung announcement says it's planning "to bring the experience to over 100 million Galaxy users within 2024," so many users will eventually get access.

Through its partnership with Google, Galaxy AI uses Google's Gemini model for features like Circle to Search. It will also power summarization and writing features for apps like Samsung Notes, Voice Recorder, and Keyboard. The Galaxy S24 series also has some AI-powered camera features that can make you look like a professional photographer. For example, with Generative Edit, you can "Photoshop" away unwanted elements in your photos, turn videos into slo-mo edits, and automatically make tweaks and enhancements in the viewfinder before you even snap the photo.

All these AI features sound too good to be true, but there is a catch. Galaxy AI is free — for now, but Samsung S24 users will have to start paying for the service starting in 2026. The announcement did not mention pricing for Galaxy AI on S23, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and Tab S9 series, but based on what we know, it might not be free forever.

The fine print also says some AI features "from Galaxy S24 series may not be available at previous generation models."

If you have the previous generation of any of the Samsung devices mentioned above, you won't have to wait long to access at least most of what Galaxy AI has to offer.
