Samsung’s Galaxy AI features are now available on a wide variety of Galaxy devices, but not every feature is compatible with every Galaxy model. In fact, until recently, we weren't even sure whether older Samsung phones would benefit from any Galaxy AI features, period.

Following the launch of the Galaxy S24, Samsung all but confirmed that Galaxy AI features wouldn’t be coming to any devices older than the Galaxy 23 due to hardware limitations. Then, in March, Samsung Mobile boss TM Roh teased that Galaxy AI features could be coming to Galaxy S22 phones after all. Samsung itself then confirmed as much in April, adding that Galaxy S21 devices would also be getting a handful of Galaxy AI features via the One UI 6.1 update.

That rollout has now happened, but to make matters more confusing, the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July introduced two new Galaxy AI features: Portrait Studio and Sketch to Image. We've added both new phones to the below table, but haven't yet added those new features, since they're currently exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
