Galaxy AI refresh is headed for 9 Samsung flagships from 2023. The strategy is to equip 100 million devices with AI features this year and preempt the global AI phone ecosystem. That is why, Samsung is bringing Galaxy S24’s AI features through software update to flagship models released last year.
Samsung has already started distributing the One UI 6.1 update for flagship phones and tablets released in 2023. The target models are a total of 9 models, including the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 FE, Z Flip 5, and Fold 5, as well as the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
Existing device users will also be able to use various Galaxy AI features such as Live Translate, Chat Assist, and Circle to Search. The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 will finally complete Samsung’s commitment to equipping over 100 million Galaxies with Galaxy AI this year.

Counterpoint Research predicts that AI phone shipments will grow at an annual average of 83% until 2027 to reach 522 million units – 40% of all smartphones. Samsung Galaxy series will likely account for more than half of the AI phone market in the next two years.

Samsung users have been facing a frustrating issue with the NotiStar app on their Galaxy phones. Many users have reported that they receive duplicate notifications for messages regularly. This issue occurs with messaging apps and regular text messages.
Instead of one notification, users are getting two for every single message. For example, if a friend sends a message, the user receives its notification twice. It means that users are observing the same notification being displayed twice.
Samsung has acknowledged the duplicate notification issue of NotiStar. In addition, a community moderator has reassured users that the team is actively investigating the issue. He mentioned that Samsung will improve this phenomenon in an upcoming app update to fix the duplicate notification issue.
Users can expect an update soon, which should help remove duplicate notifications and improve how the app works. Samsung is actively working on a solution, and the promise of an update is encouraging for many. For now, Galaxy users can keep an eye out for the upcoming NotiStar app update.
Aside from this, Galaxy users also reported unexpected vibrations and notifications from their Galaxy phones after updating the Samsung Wallet Digital Key app. However, Samsung has fixed this issue with a fresh update for the Wallet Digital Key app.
Here’s how to stop annoying vibrations and notifications on your Samsung device
Samsung is rumored to launch a slimmer foldable smartphone this year. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could introduce the best crease control yet. The input comes from a reputed source who also revealed the phone’s existence.
IceUniverse claims that Samsung has done a good job in Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition crease control. The next foldable phone is expected to offer an even less visible crease around the flexing area of the foldable display.
With each generation, the Korean tech giant introduces technological breakthroughs. The Fold 6 features a premium screen with minimally visible crease. The induction of the waterdrop hinge last year changed the game and competition.

Will you buy Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition?
Before consumers, it depends on Samsung whether it wants everyone to buy the SE or not. The company could launch the slimmer foldable in select countries. South Korea and China are most likely, with the handset also listed in India.
The Special Edition model could feature a slimmer design compared to the Z Fold 6. The Korean tech giant is also said to be bringing a larger cover and internal display. We may also see a 200-megapixel primary camera from the S24 Ultra.
On the software end, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE could ship with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1. The Galaxy AI would play a key role in pushing it into the competition. There’s no doubt Samsung offers the best software experience on large screens.
The hardware part won’t lag as well. Samsung’s upcoming Z Fold 6 SE is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. It’s the same chipset that powers the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
