Samsung just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Before Samsung launched these smartphones, we heard that the company would be expanding some of the new Galaxy AI features coming to these devices to older Galaxy phones and tablets by pushing out the One UI 6.1. 1 update to those devices as well. Now we have confirmation straight from the brand, as well as a timeline for the release.

One UI 6.1. 1 coming to older Galaxy phones in December 2024
Speaking at the Galaxy Unpacked event, Annika Bizon, Omnichannel Strategy Director for Samsung’s MX division for the UK and Ireland, said: “We also plan to roll out the new Galaxy AI features we announced today to select Galaxy devices by the end of the year.In other words, One UI 6.1.1 will be available for eligible devices in December 2024.
Additionally, Samsung’s website says that some of the Galaxy AI features from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be available on the Galaxy S24 series smartphones. While that’s not the case, we think the company is trying to say that those phones are eligible for the new Galaxy AI features, and that they should arrive soon.
Considering that the Galaxy S24 series smartphones share the same chipset as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, all the new Galaxy AI features coming with One UI 6.1. 1 on the latest foldable phones should arrive on the Galaxy S24 series devices. Older devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy S23 series may also get certain features.
