Live Translate helps in real-time translation of languages during voice calls.
Non-AI features offered by the One UI 6.1 update will not be available to Galaxy devices launched before the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. While many other smartphones will receive the One UI 6.1 update, the AI features will remain exclusive to Samsung’s flagship smartphones introduced in 2023 and later.
