Samsung Galaxy S25’s best AI feature just tipped to launch on these older Samsung phones
That would allow users of older Samsung devices to enjoy the benefits of the AI-powered feature. This update could enhance the user experience and make older phones more competitive in the market. It shows Samsung's commitment to providing ongoing support and improvements for its devices. Users may appreciate the added functionality and usability that this update could bring.
One of the big new features to arrive on the Galaxy S25 series is the AI-powered Now Brief — a tool that offers a personalized summary of your day. So far this feature is part of the One UI 7 operating system, and only available on the Galaxy S25 lineup — but that might be about to change.
Hidden Feature Discovery
Over on X, @MEMETCAN88 found a setting relating to Now Brief in their Galaxy S24 Ultra — which is running OneUI 7 beta 6. The feature is apparently hidden, but they were able to uncover it with the phone’s activity launcher.
SamMobile was later able to find the same settings panel on the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and even the Galaxy S10. Considering the age of the Galaxy S10 smartphone, I can only assume that SamMobile means the Galaxy Tab S10, which was released last year.
What is Now Brief?
Now Brief is a personalized hub of information, designed to give you tailored updates and info throughout the day — with the content changing depending on what time it is. In the morning, you’ll get things like sleep information, the day’s weather, breaking news, or information about your upcoming commute. Now Brief is designed to warn you about traffic or significant delays and ensure you know to leave early. The information will change throughout the day, with the evening Brief breaking down your day’s activities and preparing you for sleep.
Now Brief works across the Samsung mobile ecosystem, accessing relevant apps and learning about your behavior over time. The Now Bar, displayed on the lock screen, shows priority notifications and time-sensitive information based on what the AI knows about you and your schedule.
Expected Rollout
Now Brief doesn’t seem to be functional on older devices right now, so the settings menu is likely just a placeholder for now. However, the placeholder suggests that the feature should be arriving with the release of One UI 7, currently exclusive to Galaxy S25 devices.
The rollout of One UI 7 to older phones is set to begin on April 7 in most countries, with the U.S. rollout starting on April 10. The first phones scheduled to receive the update are the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. In the following weeks, the update will also come to the Galaxy S23 series (including Galaxy S23 FE), Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S10, and Galaxy Tab S9.
If you are eager to try Now Brief but don’t wish to upgrade to the Galaxy S25 series, you likely won't have to wait too long for it to become available on your device.
