Galaxy Z Fold 6 AI features: Samsung is already making big improvements
As the tech industry continues to embrace artificial intelligence, Samsung has been at the forefront of integrating AI capabilities into its flagship devices. Following the successful introduction of AI-driven features in the Galaxy S24 series earlier this year, the company has now expanded its AI-powered arsenal with the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Building upon the foundation established by the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers a refined and optimized suite of AI features tailored to leverage its expansive foldable display. While many of these features are familiar to users of the Galaxy S24, Samsung has also introduced a brand-new AI-powered innovation: Portrait Studio. Additionally, the company has enhanced the AI Interpreter feature, a standout capability that first debuted in the Galaxy S24 series.
Essentially, Portrait Studio uses advanced algorithms to analyze the facial features and characteristics of the original photo and then applies the selected artistic style while maintaining a likeness to the original subject.
It's a fun and creative way to experiment with different looks and create unique portraits.

More powerful AI Interpreter
The Galaxy Z Fold 6's AI Interpreter is a powerful tool designed to bridge language barriers. Leveraging the device's advanced AI capabilities, it can translate conversations in real-time while also using both the foldable and cover displays to make information easily readable for both parties.
Here's a breakdown of how it access the feature if you own a Z Fold 6:
- Activate Interpreter Mode: This is typically found in the quick settings panel or within a dedicated language app.
- Select Languages: Choose the two languages you want to translate between.
- Conversation Mode: This is a unique feature of the Z Fold 6. By folding the phone into a tent-like shape, you can create a shared screen experience. One side displays the original language, while the other shows the translated text. Both parties can see and follow the conversation simultaneously.
- Real-Time Translation: As you speak, the AI listens, transcribes, and translates your words in real-time. The translated text appears on the other side of the screen.
- Voice Output: If preferred, the translated text can also be read aloud for added convenience.
All Galaxy S24 AI features
Live Translate
Live Translate is a real-time translation feature for phone calls, distinct from Google's text and audio translation capabilities. Unlike Google's system, which focuses on text and audio from video content, Samsung's feature provides live translation during phone conversations, albeit with a slight delay due to processing requirements.
The translation occurs on the device itself, ensuring data privacy. Currently supporting 13 languages (and 17 dialects), Samsung may add more depending on the reception of the Live Translate feature. This innovation presents a potential boon for businesses, offering secure communication across language barriers.

Chat Assist
Chat Assist is similar to Live Translate, but works with text translation for foreign languages, a familiar feature for users. The more special part here is Tone Tweak, which employs AI to compose messages by helping you with the tone.
You can use Chat Assist to change your message and ask the AI to make it more casual, formal, or whatever you would like.
Transcript Assist
This feature allows users to record audio and receive real-time transcriptions. Additionally, Galaxy AI enhances the functionality by offering two supplementary features: generating summaries from voice recording transcripts in bullet point format and improving speaker label accuracy within the Notes app.
Note Assist in Samsung Notes
Galaxy AI can offer pre-existing templates based on your recurring needs such as grocery lists. The AI monitors usage patterns and suggests relevant templates, enhancing efficiency in organizing notes. Additionally, these templates come with personalized covers featuring summaries and icons.
Galaxy AI also reorders and refines notes to make them more organized. For example, if you have forgotten to add bullet points and simply jotted down a bunch of text, the Samsung Notes app will tidy that up for you.
Circle to Search
This is a feature that allows you to search online for any object that appears on the screen, no matter whether it is in a video or a photo. Also, while Samsung dubbed it "Circle to Search," you can also scribble or tap on the items you want to search.
Hands-free communication assistant on the road
This feature allows users to receive text summaries audibly without needing to glance at their phone or car screen. Additionally, the assistant provides suggested actions, enabling users to choose from a list and have the AI handle texting while they concentrate on driving.
Galaxy AI features for the camera
AI Photo Editing:
- Edit Suggestion: AI offers automatic editing suggestions for photos.
- AI-powered editing: Users have the option to manually adjust photos to remove blurring, reflections, or enhance crispness, in addition to automated suggestions.
- Generative editing: Generative editing enables non-destructive cropping, object removal, and rearrangement of elements within photos.
AI Zoom
AI Zoom on Galaxy phones tries to improve the image quality of photos and video that have been taken by digitally zooming in, instead of using the optical zoom of a dedicated telephoto camera.
Instant Slow-Mo
Galaxy AI can transform a regular video into a slow-motion one by creating additional frames. That being said, this feature can be rather jarring and a bit of a gimmick for most of the time.
Summary
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is equipped with all Galaxy AI features that Samsung introduced in the beginning of this year, but it also brings along creative ways of implementing them, like with the improved AI Interpreter. Samsung also took the occasion to introduce the Portrait Studio feature, and future new additions will probably also trickle down to the Z Fold 6.
