Samsung Galaxy A73 and Galaxy A33 are now getting One UI 6.1
Samsung started spreading the One UI 6.1 love to its mid-rangers recently, and today two more are receiving the update to the latest version of the Android skin. We're talking about the Galaxy A73 and Galaxy A33.
The A73's update is currently rolling out in Malaysia as build A736BXXU7EXDC. It's a 2.6GB download and includes the April 2024 security patch level, which now seems to be a theme with the One UI 6.1 updates for Samsung mid-rangers. It's sad to not see the May security patch level since we're already well into May, but at least the rollout has started - so you win some, you lose some, as they say.
Next up, the Galaxy A33 is getting its dose of One UI 6.1 in Singapore, with build number A336EDXU8EXDD. This too is over 2GB, so make sure you grab it while connected to a reliable network.
Unsurprisingly, neither the Galaxy A73 nor the Galaxy A33 are receiving any of the Galaxy AI features unveiled back in January alongside the Galaxy S24 family. These have so far been confined to Samsung's high-end models from the past couple of years, and it seems like things are going to stay that way at least for a while.
So if you ever thought there's no need to buy a high-end Samsung when a mid-ranger will do just fine, if you want to use any of the Galaxy AI features, that math has to change.
