Samsung has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24 series, along with a host of new features powered by generative AI. These features, collectively known as Galaxy AI, offer new ways to create, connect, and communicate using multimodal input and output. Some of these features are Circle to Search, Live Translate, Note Assist, Photo Assist, Generative Edit, and more.
But Samsung is not stopping there. The company is also bringing some of the Galaxy AI features to its existing products, such as the Galaxy Buds 2, Buds 2 Pro, and Buds FE. According to a tip from Ishan Agarwal (via Android Police), Samsung is rolling out a firmware update for these wireless earbuds that enables the Live Translate feature when paired with a Galaxy S24 series phone.

Live Translate allows users to receive real-time voice and text translations for phone calls and messages right on their screen while using their Samsung Buds. This feature supports over 80 languages, but some of them may require downloading an extra language pack.
The firmware update is currently available only for the Galaxy S24 series, but it may expand to other series in the future. Users in India have reported receiving the update, and it is expected to reach other regions in the next few weeks.
Samsung also plans to update some of its older devices with Galaxy AI features through the One UI 6.1 update, which is scheduled to launch next month. However, Samsung has not revealed which Galaxy AI features will be compatible with older phones. The One UI 6.1 update is rumored to be coming to the Galaxy S23 series, including the Galaxy S23 FE, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9.
For those who want to enjoy all the Galaxy AI features as soon as possible, the best option is to get a Samsung Galaxy S24 model. These smartphones are not only equipped with AI capabilities but also with other impressive features, such as the Super HDR camera, the 10x optical zoom, and the 120Hz LTPO display. In fact, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been rated as the best smartphone camera by the PhoneArena Camera Score.
