Captain LagbeardBad news first: If you were hoping that Samsung’s One UI 7 would sprinkle some AI magic onto your older Galaxy phone, you might want to sit down.
Due to “hardware limitations” (a.k.a. your phone just isn’t fancy enough), some AI features will be skipping past older Galaxy models like a free WiFi signal in the middle of nowhere.
But before you start composing an angry tweet at Samsung, here’s the good news: One of the coolest upcoming features, Audio Eraser, is making its way to the Galaxy S24 series! 🎉
And no, this isn’t just wishful thinking—Tarun Vats, a reliable Samsung leaker, confirmed this in a recent post on X (source).
What Is Audio Eraser & Why Should You Care?
Imagine you’ve just recorded the perfect video of your pet doing something hilarious—only for a loud passing truck to ruin the moment.
Or maybe you’re trying to capture a beautiful sunset, but some random guy in the background won’t stop yelling into his phone about his terrible crypto investments.
Enter: Audio Eraser.
This fancy new feature lets you adjust, reduce, or completely remove specific sounds from your videos—so you can finally edit out those annoying city noises, wind gusts, or unexpected background screams (you know, for when you accidentally record in public).
According to another X post from Tarun Vats, Audio Eraser will be available for the Galaxy S24 series once One UI 7.0 drops (source).
So, S24 users, get ready to experience the joy of silencing background chaos with a tap!
What About Other Galaxy Phones?
Now, for those of you clutching onto your beloved S23 or S22, don’t panic just yet! Samsung isn’t completely ignoring you.
While Audio Eraser might be an S24-exclusive party trick, Best Face—a feature that helps you pick the best shot from multiple frames to avoid awkward blinks or mid-sneeze faces—will also be making its way to the Galaxy S23 and S22 series.
So yes, you might still have to deal with random honking noises in your videos, but at least your selfies will be on point!
The Ultra-Exclusive Feature (That Might Annoy Some Users)
Meanwhile, Galaxy S24 Ultra owners get a little extra VIP treatment with a feature called Log Video.
This one’s for all the serious videographers out there—it gives you more control over color grading and post-production tweaks, making your videos cinema-ready.
However, it’s still unclear whether Samsung will extend Log Video to the regular S24 and S24+, or if Ultra users will just get to flex on everyone else. (Spoiler: Probably the latter.)
Final Thoughts: Should You Be Excited?
If you own a Galaxy S24, you’re in luck—One UI 7 is bringing some seriously cool features your way. If you have an S23 or S22, you still get something, but not the full package.
And if you’re rocking an older device… well, it might be time to start dropping hints about a phone upgrade.
One thing’s for sure: Samsung is making sure AI-powered features stay exclusive to its latest and greatest.
Whether that’s a genuine hardware limitation or just a way to tempt you into buying a new phone, we’ll let you decide.
