Samsung’s Galaxy AI features, which were first introduced in its most recent S24 series, will trickle down to older models.

The electronics manufacturer said Thursday that Galaxy AI will become available on three variations of S23 series as well as S23 FE, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5 and three variations of Tab S9 series, through a software update slated for end of march.

The updates will enable users to access the Live Translate feature, which consecutively translates phone calls and Chat Assist, which can translate text messages and adjust their tone.

Google's Circle to Search feature, which enables users to search what’s on the screen by simply circling it without exiting the app, will also become available.

Roh Tae-moon, head of Samsung Electronics’ mobile business, previously said that those AI features would become available in 100 million Galaxy gadgets this year.
