Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. While we wait for the big reveal, the South Korean tech brand has confirmed that the next generation of Samsung foldable devices will come with Galaxy AI, just like the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung implemented AI features in its smartphones with the launch of the Galaxy S24 trio in January. The Galaxy AI suite offers a range of features from real-time translation to image editing. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that Live Translate, part of its Galaxy AI suite, will soon be compatible with third-party apps.
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 devices will include optimized Galaxy AI features. He states that pairing Galaxy AI with its foldable phones will “unlock all new possibilities.”
Additionally, Samsung has confirmed that the Live Translate feature that allows users to hear live translations during phone calls will soon be extended to third-party apps to support voice calls. The company did not reveal 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 included the text “Galaxy AI” alongside renders of the foldable phones. They are expected to be announced at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, which is rumored to take place on July 10.
In January, Samsung introduced artificial intelligence features with the Galaxy S24 series. 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.
