Samsung confirms Galaxy AI coming to next foldable phones

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. While we wait for the big launch event, the South Korean tech brand confirmed that the next-generation of Samsung foldable devices will come with Galaxy AI, just like the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung implemented AI features into its smartphones with the launch of the Galaxy S24 trio in January. The Galaxy AI suite offers a variety of features, from real-time translations to image editing. Furthermore, Live Translate, part of the Galaxy AI suite, has been confirmed to be compatible with third-party apps soon.

Via a blog post On Friday (June 7), Won-joon Choi, EVP and Head of Mobile R and D Office, for Samsung’s mobile experience business, announced that upcoming Samsung foldable phones would feature optimized Galaxy AI features. He states that pairing Galaxy AI with its foldable phones will “unlock all new possibilities.”

Additionally, Samsung has confirmed that its Live Translate feature, which allows users to hear live translations during phone calls, will soon be expanded to third-party apps to support voice calls. The company hasn’t revealed any details about supported apps, but popular messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram are expected to be part of the list.

The confirmation of Galaxy AI in the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 coincides with a purported marketing image that surfaced online earlier this week. The image featured the text “Galaxy AI” alongside renders of the foldable phones. They’re widely expected to be released at an upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, which is rumored to take place on July 10.

Samsung introduced AI features with the Galaxy S24 series in January. The Galaxy AI suite includes features such as Chat Assist, Live Translate, Interpreter Mode, Circle to Search, Summarisation, Note Assist, and Transcript Assist, among others.
