Disappointment for Galaxy S23 Users
Many Galaxy S23 owners were eagerly awaiting the new features of the Android 16-based One UI 8, only to find out that a key Galaxy AI feature is missing from their devices. Despite being part of the beta program, Now Brief, a powerful AI feature, did not make it to the 2023 Galaxy S series.
Now Brief Exclusion
Despite the initial excitement of seeing Galaxy AI-powered Now Brief on the first One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23, it was later confirmed that the feature was not included in subsequent releases. This exclusion has left many users disappointed, especially as it has been included in the beta for newer models like the Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy S24 series.
One UI 8 Highlight Feature
Now Brief is considered the highlight feature of One UI 8, as it utilizes Galaxy AI to gather personalized information from various apps for users' convenience. This feature provides quick access to relevant information like flight details, reminders, weather updates, and music playlists.
Possible Upgrade Strategy
It is speculated that Samsung may be limiting the availability of Now Brief on older devices like the Galaxy S23 to incentivize users to upgrade to newer models. While this strategy may be frustrating for current users, it is not uncommon for tech companies to prioritize new releases.
