Will Samsung withhold UI 6.1 AI Features from the S22 series? I'm gone if they do!

If Samsung withholds the AI features from S22 Ultra, after promising major updates, I'll be disappointed.

I appreciate the sentiment

Updates are different from features
But if you get an iPhone I have one also and newest models with certain features on those don't always go to older models even though they get software updates.

Features built into one phone that don't come on an older one (like macro lens or ultra wide view etc) are different than an entirely software update that older phones can handle. That's a software update in my book. The 23 gets it but not the 22? I spent a lot of money NOT to be left out.

If this is their plan to sell more disappointing s24 phones, it will backfire imo.

I appreciate your opinions and certainly your help on so many issues over the years.

I don't agree. Features built into one phone that don't come on an older one (like macro lens or ultra wide view etc) are different than an entirely software update that older phones can handle. I understand they plan to sell the "features" as subscriptions even to phones made by other manufacturers? They will work fine on older phones. That's a software update in my book. The 23 gets it but not the 22? I spent a lot of money NOT to be left out.

I appreciate your opinions and certainly your help on so many issues over the years but I'm done with Samsung if they pull this crap.

I agree I don't see a reason AI features wouldn't make it to the s22u but that's not how these manufacturers are unfortunately. We will know for sure once it gets One UI 6.1

You might be in luck the s22 and ones running Snap Dragon gen 1 chip will probably be as far as Samsung goes back to it getting those features probably get it later than the s23 models as it's being prioritize first.

Galaxy S24's best AI features are coming to these older Samsung models with One UI 6.1

Starting in late March, users of older Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets will gain access to Circle to Search, Live Translate, and more.

I don't mind getting 6.1 update later, within reason. We always do. Feels like my phone is always 2 years old scrounging for updates!

I'll get it on my Tabs anyway, but I was excited about the Samsung promise to provide major updates as well as security updates for a longer period when I bought the S22U.

If Samsung withholds the AI features from S22 Ultra, after promising major updates for 4 years, I'm done.

My next phone will be an iPhone.

I am absolutely furious. I hope everyone dumps Samsung.

I made the title better reflect your opening post and possible displeasure.
