ONE UI 6.1 PERKS
The One UI 6.1 update brings AI-generated wallpapers – a feature that lets Samsung owners create unique screensavers with few text-based prompts, such as ‘floral sketches’ or ‘3D rendering of a galaxy’.
A new AI summarisation feature can quickly recap lengthy or confusing webpages and notes – and even rewrite your messages to sound better.
AI will get to work on phone calls and messages, allowing people to live translate conversations in up to 13 different languages.
The so-called “world first” Circle to Search button is also landing on these older Samsung devices – making Google searches easier than ever.
