Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024. Alongside hardware upgrades, these models will feature Samsung’s customized OneUI 6.1 based on Android 14. This software, rumored to enhance battery health and introduce AI features, will eventually extend to older devices. A recent report unveils some of the anticipated AI features accompanying OneUI 6.1.
AI-generated wallpapers and additional features could be introduced with OneUI 6.1
A tipster, Benit Bruhner Pro, leaked various One UI 6.1 features on X (previously Twitter), along with corresponding images (as noticed by Sammobile).
Among these functionalities, OneUI 6.1 might incorporate an AI-driven wallpaper generator. This tool can produce wallpapers by utilizing user-provided input. According to the report, users can input the subject’s name and the background’s name, and the feature will generate a wallpaper based on these descriptions. Additionally, the lock screen in OneUI 6.1 is expected to offer options for adding portrait and weather effects.
Furthermore, the integrated photo editor in One UI 6.1 will provide users with the capability to move objects using a drag-and-drop gesture. This feature enables users to choose a subject or object from one image and seamlessly position it in another image.
The AI tool will empower users to edit their gallery’s existing images. For instance, users can straighten pictures and fill in missing details using the image editor. Additionally, the photo editor will provide the option to undo and redo edits, including drawings and stickers.
OneUI 6.1: Additional AI functionalities heading to Samsung smartphones
In OneUI 6.1, Samsung Notes will introduce a function capable of summarizing lengthy notes. This tool will be trained to transform extensive text into concise and readable bullet points. Furthermore, the AI-enabled feature will have the ability to automatically format handwritten notes after converting them to text.
Several weeks prior, Samsung unveiled that One UI 6.1 will possess the capability to real-time translate voice calls from one language to another. This translation will apply to both individuals participating in the call. Notably, this feature marks the debut use of Samsung Gauss, the company’s initial in-house large language foundational model.
One UI 6.1 is set to introduce the Voice Focus feature to Samsung phones. While this feature is currently available on certain mid-range and entry-level smartphones, it is anticipated to become accessible on high-end phones through the One UI 6.1 update.
The forthcoming software is anticipated to introduce a novel Adaptive Protection feature. This function will charge the phone’s battery to 80% initially and will then resume charging to reach 100% just before the user wakes up. In contrast, the Maximum Protection feature will limit the battery charge to 80%.
