Samsung has just revealed its latest foldable phones: the book-style Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 6. These unique designs call for special software, and Samsung is on it. That's why the tech giant has introduced several fresh AI features designed specifically for foldables.
Galaxy AI, Samsung's suite of AI tools introduced earlier this year alongside the Galaxy S24 series, has been gradually expanded to various Galaxy flagship phones, including earlier foldables. However, it wasn't until now that it received specific optimization for foldable devices. So, let's explore the new tricks Samsung has tailored for its foldables.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 comes packed with AI-powered features and tools that make the most of its large screen, ramping up productivity with:
And there's more! The new Google Gemini app is fully integrated into the latest Galaxy Z series, offering your own AI-powered assistant directly on your phone. Just swipe the screen corner or say "Hey Google" to summon Gemini's overlay for assistance with writing, learning, or planning.
Galaxy AI brings enhanced functionality to the clamshell foldable, too, especially through FlexWindow, allowing AI-assisted features without unfolding the device. For instance, you can respond to texts with Suggested Replies, which analyzes your recent messages to offer personalized responses.
Moreover, AI-powered Photo Ambient lets you customize your device experience. This feature dynamically changes your wallpaper based on the time and weather conditions. It also suggests screen layout options that complement your wallpaper, such as adjusting the clock position and frame color to enhance the overall aesthetic.
And, of course, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 also supports the Google Gemini app and its full suite of features, just like its book-style counterpart.
In the age of AI, Samsung promises to give you greater control over your device settings. This means you have full autonomy to manage how your data enhances AI experiences through Galaxy AI settings.
