Samsung recently unveiled its highly-anticipated Galaxy S24 series, showcasing a range of cutting-edge AI-powered features. The new devices promise an immersive and advanced user experience, but what about existing Samsung users, especially those wielding the Galaxy S22 series?

During a conversation with TechRadar after the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event, Patrick Chomet, Samsung's head of Customer Experience, shed light on the future of Galaxy AI compatibility for older devices. While the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are slated to receive Galaxy AI upgrades within the first half of the year, the fate of the Galaxy S22 line remains uncertain.

Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy Tab S8, Google Pixel to support Google Duo's live sharing

Samsung and Google are bringing an Apple SharePlay-like experience to Android. The new Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 devices will support a live-sharing feature in Google Duo. It will let you chat with someone while simultaneously viewing the same notes, photos, and videos. It will only work with certain apps, like YouTube, Google Maps, Samsung Notes and Gallery, and Google's Jamboard interactive whiteboard app. 

Engadget reports that these Galaxy devices and the Pixel smartphones will be the only ones to get full support for this feature. Other Android devices will only be able to join these calls instead of host them.

Samsung confirms extra year of Android updates

Unsurprisingly, the rumour that Samsung plans to offer an extra year of Android OS upgrade is accurate. Samsung confirms that the Galaxy S22 series will get up to four generations of Android updates, meaning you get more use out of the phones while supporting the company's sustainability efforts. And as The Verge pointed out, Samsung one-ups Google by offering a year more than the company does for its Pixel devices.

Of course, the extra year of updates is welcome. But you might expect to see differences in feature rollout in older models, given they might not have the hardware to support newer features. Apple is still the leader in offering long-term support, with the 2015 iPhone 6s still getting iOS 15. But we appreciate efforts in the Android space to extend support. Hopefully, other brands will follow Samsung's lead.
