This information comes from Roh Tae-moon himself, who held a shareholders’ general meeting, during which he explained that the company is actively looking for ways to bring the Galaxy AI features to older phones.
Exciting as this news may be, you might want to keep your hopes in check, as even though we are talking about software here, many of the AI features that came with the S24 series are highly dependent on the new chipset inside.
Both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Exynos 2400 that the 2024 Galaxy flagships come with are specifically designed with on-device AI in mind. To that end, adapting the S24’s AI features to work with older phones is no easy task, as their silicon is not made to handle this new technology.
What gives us some peace of mind, however, is that among the models that have been confirmed to get the AI upgrade is the Galaxy S23 FE, which comes with the same chip that is found inside the Galaxy S22 series. From what TM Roh says, though, we are left with the impression that Samsung is working hard to bring AI into the hands of Galaxy S22 owners.
