A tech expert has found a way to "unlock" One UI 7's AI feature on older Galaxy devices.
Samsung once claimed that the Now Brief feature on One UI 7 was exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series due to its high hardware requirements. But surprisingly, hackers proved the opposite, turning the "impossible" into reality on a series of old Samsung phones .
Accordingly, the useful information summary feature Now Brief powered by AI was once promoted by Samsung on the Galaxy S25 series. The company said that this feature requires a powerful processor like Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it unable to work on older devices with the One UI 7 update.
The Now Brief feature has made its way to older Galaxy devices.
However, hackers have found a way to "break" Now Brief on most Samsung phones. The trick involves installing the latest version of the Smart Suggestions app and tampering with the System UI Tuner, a rather complicated and risky step.
User @DalgleishGX on social network X has successfully enabled Now Brief on his Galaxy S23+, and another user has done the same on the Galaxy A52.
However, the Now Brief version enabled on older devices only shows weather information and does not have the full widget. This is considered a "lite version", which can be optimized by Samsung and added with more features in the next One UI updates.
This trick requires access to System UI Tuner via adb or root, which can be risky for the device. Therefore, users should consider carefully before performing it.
