In an announcement, Samsung says that Bixby can now be queued up to deploy AI features. Through the voice assistant, for example, you can ask your phone to activate Live Translate without touching a button. For now, Bixby can only be called upon to use AI features in the following languages:
While the company’s suite of AI features has been arguably impressive thus far, it’s prompted some lingering questions. For instance, theAI features have been limitedto only the newest Galaxy series thus far. Samsung confirmed that older devices will be able to tap into these tools in the future, including the S23 Galaxy series, as well as the Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5. However, the S22 Galaxy line was notably not mentioned, and it wasn’t a mistake — no Samsung devices released before 2023 are expected to receive access to the AI features. When explaining why, Samsung claimed that it wants to “secure the quality and the performance” of what these devices already offer.
Whether you are already using the Galaxy AI features on your device or you’re waiting for future support, these are factors to keep in mind. Samsung doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to launch the suite for devices beyond the ones it has announced. With the AI features still in their infancy, it makes sense that the company would want to work out any kinks before expanding support.
