Galaxy S23: Samsung brings new updates and advanced features for its smartphones every year. This time Galaxy S16 users were very excited about One UI 8 based on Android 23. They hoped that with this update they would also get new features of Galaxy AI, especially “Now Brief”, which the company is presenting as its most special offering. But the latest reports are disappointing for the users, as the Galaxy S23 may never get this feature.
The feature was also missing in One UI 8 Beta 2
A few weeks ago, Samsung released the first beta of One UI 8 for the Galaxy S23 series. The “Now Brief” feature was not present at that time, but people hoped that it would be added in the upcoming updates. Now the company has also released One UI 8 Beta 2, but this time too this feature is missing. With this it is almost certain that “Now Brief” will no longer be available for Galaxy S23.
What is Now Brief and why is it so special
“Now Brief” is a smart and AI-powered feature that makes users’ everyday life easier. It takes information from multiple apps and shows them on a single screen. This can include your flight details, weather information, calendar reminders, notes and even music playlists.
Samsung has designed it in such a way that important information is available immediately without opening the phone. That is, the user will not need to open different apps. This is why it is being counted among the biggest highlight features of Galaxy AI.
Why are Galaxy S24 and S25 getting the benefit
Samsung has already made “Now Brief” available in the Galaxy S24 and S25 series with One UI 8. This feature has become quite popular there. It gives users an experience like a personalized information hub.
That is, if you have Galaxy S24 or S25, then you can manage many small everyday tasks with this feature. On the other hand, Galaxy S23 owners will have to remain deprived of this feature.
Why will Galaxy S23 not get this feature
This question is in the mind of every Galaxy S23 user. Technically speaking, S23 is so powerful that this feature can run easily. Even many users have installed APK and run it on their device.
It is clear that not technical compulsion, but the company’s marketing strategy is behind this. Samsung probably wants people to be inspired to buy a new phone. This strategy has been adopted before as well, when some new features were limited to flagship models only.
What does this decision mean for Galaxy S23 users
Galaxy S23 is a premium and powerful smartphone, and its owners must have bought it with the intention of using it for a long period. But now when they will not get an advanced feature like Now Brief, this disappointment is natural.
However, many other improvements will definitely come with One UI 8 on S23. The interface will be faster, battery management will be improved and new features will also be added to the base of Android 16. Still, the lack of “Now Brief” is sure to be felt.
Will Samsung change its decision
At the moment this seems unlikely. But if the anger of the users increases and the company feels that it is harming its image, then this change is possible in the future. In the technology world, companies have often changed decisions based on user feedback.
Users of the Galaxy S23 series expected that they would also get the full experience of Galaxy AI. But the absence of the “Now Brief” feature makes them realize that companies sometimes ban older devices to increase sales of new models. How correct this decision is, only time will tell, but for now Galaxy S23 owners will have to compromise with this feature.
