Galaxy AI on the Z Fold and Flip 6

At the heart of these devices lies the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, the same processor that drives Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series.

This cutting-edge silicon enables a suite of AI-driven features collectively known as Galaxy AI, marking a new era in smartphone capabilities.

Google’s influence is prominently featured in the new devices, showcasing the strengthening partnership between the two tech giants.

The Gemini AI app, Google’s advanced artificial intelligence assistant, is deeply integrated into the Z Fold 6’s expansive screen.

Users can easily access Gemini by swiping the screen corner or using voice commands, opening up a world of possibilities for assistance with writing tasks, learning endeavours, and planning activities.

The collaboration between Samsung and Google extends beyond Gemini, encompassing other innovative features.

As per Samsung, “By simply swiping the corner of the screen, or saying, “Hey Google,” you can bring up Gemini overlay and get help with writing, learning, or planning. Gemini is integrated with some of your favorite Google apps, making it easy to organize a perfect travel itinerary by getting real-time flight and hotel booking information — and explore famous landmarks and the best routes to get there using Google Maps. When you want detailed information about a K-pop music video while watching YouTube on Galaxy Z Fold 6’s large screen, you can access Gemini overlay in the multi-window split screen and ask questions.”

Circle to Search, which made its debut on the S24 series, allows users to initiate searches by simply circling, highlighting, or tapping on screen content.

This intuitive feature demonstrates the seamless integration of Google’s search capabilities with Samsung’s hardware.

Galaxy AI Features

Samsung has introduced several AI-powered tools specifically tailored for the unique foldable form factor:

In addition to these features, the new devices sport an updated AI watermark for generated content.

Moving Away from Gemini?

Notably, the company appears to be moving away from its in-house Bixby assistant in favour of Google’s more advanced offerings.

This aligns with the ongoing collaboration between the two tech giants, which has previously resulted in developments for foldable devices and wearables, including a specialised Android fork for foldables and a revamped version of Wear OS for Galaxy Watch devices.

The importance of AI in these new devices is unmistakable, with Samsung mentioning “AI” a staggering 25 times in the product announcement.
