We dive deep into Samsung's old and new Smart Select versions

Smart Select is one of the most iconic One UI features known by S Pen fans and later by nearly every Samsung Galaxy device user, with or without an S Pen.

This feature has been around for ages and went through a few makeovers, the most recent of which almost ruined everything.

Thankfully, Samsung fixed one of the major flaws the new AI-powered Smart Select suffered from. An improved version has been rolling out for the past couple of weeks.

In our latest video, which you can watch below or on our YouTube channel, we review not only Samsung's new AI-enabled Smart Select tool but also go back through the previous generations of phones and One UI to see everything that's changed.

Our video features the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Galaxy Note FE (a.k.a. Galaxy Note 7), and the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Each phone runs a different version of Smart Select and One UI.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
