With Galaxy AI, Samsung slays as Apple delays

It’s beginning to sound a bit cliché, but there’s no denying that AI is the talk of the town and one of the most sought-after features for smartphone users in 2024. Samsung has obviously played a huge role, thanks to the Galaxy AI experience that was introduced with the Galaxy S24 flagship lineup in January this year.

While it was no secret that AI would become a major focus for smartphone manufacturers in the coming years, Samsung jumped ahead and beat everyone to the punch, including Apple, the only real competitor it cares about.

Apple is reportedly responding to its archenemy by fast-tracking development on whatever AI features it has been working on and could launch its first AI-powered iPad on May 7. However, those are just rumors based on predictions made by analysts. Apple hasn’t officially revealed any timeline for when AI features will come to the iPhone and iPad, except for saying that they are coming at some point this year.

Frankly, it doesn’t really matter how fast Apple will go, because Samsung isn’t willing to give it a chance to catch up: while Apple is still working on introducing AI to iOS, Galaxy AI is not just available on the Galaxy S24 but on nearly 10 million older devices.

And that’s just the figure for a 30-day time frame for Galaxy devices launched in 2023. Starting today, May 2, Samsung is rolling out the One UI 6.1 update, which Galaxy AI is a part of, to existing customers who own Galaxy phones and tablets launched in 2021 and 2022, foldables included.

Galaxy AI is available for the following devices as of May 2:

The Korean giant plans to bring Galaxy AI to more than 100 million users by the end of 2024. Saying that it’s on track to achieve that goal would be a massive understatement. Almost 15 Galaxy smartphones have made the jump to One UI 6.1 in a matter of months, and Samsung probably won't be letting up on the onslaught anytime soon.
