Samsung introduces a convenient feature, Noe Brief, with the Android 15-based One UI 7, which is not anticipated to arrive on older Galaxy smartphones as it requires a powerful NPU.
Samsung recently introduced the cheapest Galaxy F06 5G smartphone, which comes pre-installed with One UI 7, while the older Galaxy flagship devices like the Galaxy S24 and S23 series have not yet received One UI 7. We still expect the fourth beta to the Galaxy S24 series next week.
One UI 7’s ‘Now Brief’ Feature May Be Exclusive to Newer Galaxy Models
Now Samsung’s UX Head Sally revealed the company’s strategy and work for One UI 7, including a hint that the update might not bring all the Galaxy S25 features like Now Brief to older devices.
Samsung introduced Now Brief with One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25 series, which is expected not to be compatible with older Galaxy devices since it requires a powerful NPU to run Samsung’s Knowledge Graph engine.
Apart from this, Sally disclosed that some new AI features need upgraded hardware to function. Now Bar’s Now Brief leverages Samsung’s Personal Data Engine, which requires a newer application processor integrated with an upgraded NPU. Noticeably, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is an efficient bounce over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as it’s manufactured using the cutting-edge 3nm process technology and boasts Qualcomm’s in-house Oryon CPU cores with notable structure. It will be interesting to see whether the Now Brief will stay exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series or expand to older smartphones.
