Samsung is causing ripples in the smartphone industry by extending its advanced Galaxy AI features to more inexpensive devices. Primarily found on high-end models like the Galaxy S24 series, these smart features are now slated to feature in selected mid-range Galaxy A phones.
Key points
According to recent reports, the first middle range phones to receive Galaxy AI will be the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 which were both made available in 2024. This move demonstrates Samsung’s commitment to making cutting-edge technology accessible to a wider audience.
This update is expected through One UI 6.1.1, which may come this month or next month at the earliest. However, there are some important points:
Not all AI features will be available: Some functions that need a lot of processing power might not be included because these phones have weaker processors.
However, release date cannot be fathomed as yet because although it is coming soon we don’t have an exact date.
There won’t be any updates for previous Galaxy A models: The focus seems to be older than 2024 at this point irrespective of having almost similar hardware.
As part of Samsung’s broader strategy which aims at achieving over 200 million devices such as phones, tablets and wearables offering these intelligent capabilities.
This is thrilling news for those who are budget conscious: At present, the most affordable phone that include galaxy AI is the galaxy S23 FE which however costs higher than an A series phone. Users won’t need flagship phone anymore before they enjoy use of some of this AI tools soon enough.
While less demanding functions should make it into the A35 and A55 models we are not sure about all those features that will get incorporated there. For instance, tools that can help with photo edits or translate words among other things?

Apple and others companies could learn something from Samsung’s actions: Apple often keeps their new features exclusive only for their super expensive gadgets thus proving them wrong again. This is how Samsung is fulfilling their “AI for everyone” promise by introducing AI to mid-range phones.
From this, it is evident that Samsung wants to make advanced AI features available more widely as they wait for greater details. It might also redefine the expectations of consumers from lower priced phones and put pressure on other companies to do the same.
