Microsoft's full launch of its upcoming "Recall" feature has been delayed, but Samsung expects its Copilot+ PCs will get Recall "after September."
A Samsung blog post shared Tuesday states that while its new Galaxy Book 4 Edge AI laptops launched this week are compatible with Microsoft's Copilot AI and the Recall feature, the laptops won't get access to Recall until sometime this fall or later.
Recall was previously expected to release June 18 alongside the slate of Copilot+ PCs. But last week, Microsoft delayed Recall's launch after security experts, regulators, and former Microsoft executives raised concerns around Recall's potential security issues.
Microsoft has said it will make the Recall feature opt-in. It is now testing Recall further with its Windows Insider Program users before a full launch.
Microsoft has not yet shared an official release date for Recall, but says a future "Windows update" will include the feature on compatible PCs. Samsung's "September" assertion aligns with a previous Windows Central report that Microsoft plans to release an AI-centric 24H2 update that month—its first expected update for the Copilot+ PCs.
While some initial reports suggested these Copilot+ PCs could be great for gamers, The Wall Street Journal notes this week that Samsung's Book 4 Edge has compatibility issues with games like Fortnite and League of Legends, as well as some Adobe software.
"We’ve asked app developers for improvements, and will check on app improvement schedules to provide continual updates," Samsung told the outlet.
Early Copilot+ laptop reviewers have also found that x86 games or other hardware-intensive applications may cause performance issues on the AI laptops using Windows on Arm processors.
