Samsung has begun rolling out its One UI 8.5 software update, based on Android 16, to a wider range of Galaxy phones, including older flagship and mid-range models. While newer devices like the Galaxy S24 and S25 series receive advanced AI features such as generative image editing and real-time call transcription, older models like the Galaxy S23 series will get an upgraded Bixby powered by Perplexity AI but will miss out on some of the headline AI tools. This selective feature distribution may impact the resale value of older devices as they approach the end of their software support window. AI
