The S21 series initially lacked AI functionality, despite its processing capabilities. While One UI 7 introduced intelligent features—a simplified version of Galaxy AI found on the A36 and A56—hopes were raised that the S21 series' four OS updates might include these features. The lack of even partial Galaxy AI integration in One UI 6.1 and the minimal One UI 7 improvements (primarily resembling a Good Lock update) are disappointing. The S21 series received only minor additions like improved audio logging, a new drawing assist, and a brief mode, leaving many users wanting. To access Galaxy AI features such as the interpreter and generative wallpaper (including the new Gemini), a workaround may be possible on S21 and potentially A series devices.
