    Galaxy AI cometh.

    Samsung’s One UI 6.1 update arrives this Thursday, bringing AI features to last year’s devices including the S23 series, S23 FE, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, and the Tab S9 series. They’ll get the full suite of AI features announced with the Galaxy S24 series, including Circle to Search and live language translation for phone calls.

    It’s all free of charge — at least for now.

    Oh snap, another midrange smartphone chip just dropped.

    Qualcomm just announced the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3, sitting just below the also recently announced 8S Gen 3. It can run Llama 2 and Gemini Nano on-device and supports Wi-Fi 7. It’ll start appearing in phones in the next few months, and OnePlus says it will use the chipset in a device — my money’s on this guy.
