Samsung expanded what it calls the Galaxy AI ecosystem on July 10 at the Galaxy Unpacked function in Paris after initially releasing an onboard AI in January. The firm announced its second two portable phones, plus fresh earbuds and wearables.
All of the items showcased at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked are currently on purchase and will be available worldwide on July 24.
Similar to Apple’s surveillance and OS life, Samsung offers seven centuries of OS changes and seven decades of security upgrades.
Samsung releases the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip smartphones.
Samsung’s two newest devices are the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, both of which use Google’s Gemini AI for translation, innovative features and decorative adjustments.
Galaxy Z Fold6
The 7.6-inch Galaxy Z Fold6 is “our sexiest and finest foldable”, said Annika Bizon, producer of model and network marketing at Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland, at Galaxy Unpacked.
The big, two paragraph display of the Galaxy Z Fold6 opens side to side, with thinner ends and increased durability compared to the previous century. Galaxy AI appears in this kind of Google’s Circle to Search, which enables you to group objects to browse or to recognize normal functions like stars. Google Circle to Search on Samsung phones will be able to show its job while converting recipes and evidence with full-screen language and address math problems. Galaxy AI is bidirectional, which means you can talk, read or movement to target the AI’s interest.
” On Galaxy devices, you can simply state’ hey Google’ to roll Gemini onto your screen for rapid help”, said Jenny Blackburn, vice president of Gemini customer experience at Google, at the Galaxy Unpacked display.
” The large, immersive screen is perfect for multitasking, so you can watch a video in full screen, and soon you’ll be able to move the Gemini overlay to a side panel so it can help you with what you’re doing”, said Blackburn.
The ability to use AI to record, transcribe, and export audio on the Samsung Notes could save a lot of time during meetings or interviews, which is particularly interesting for businesses.
Galaxy AI enables Sketch to Image, a method that prompts Gemini to generate images based on a drawing you’ve made for creative work and marketing. You can also use AI to sketch on photos and then modify them to reflect your artistic style. Galaxy AI will suggest ways to reimagine images.
Inside Galaxy Z Fold6 is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Galaxy Z Fold6 holds between 256 GB and 1 TB of internal storage, depending on the model.
Galaxy Z Flip6
Samsung’s new vertical foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip6, also comes with a suite of AI tools powered by Google Gemini and the ProVisual photo editing engine. Use Samsung Health and Wallet on the front without opening the phone with the 3. 4-inch front window, which are handy for quick interactions. The main screen is 6.7 inches. Inside, you’ll find the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. Galaxy Z Flip6 comes with either 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage.
Samsung highlighted photo editing tools that can generate additional frames to create slow-motion videos that can automatically zoom, depending on how many people are in the image.
The large vapor chamber, which was first used on a phone in the Flip line, increases battery life by using more effective cooling. Addressing concerns about the strength of the hinge, Chosen says the Galaxy Z Flip6 has improved durability.
How Google’s AI is integrated into Samsung’s sixth generation phones
Galaxy AI will be on 200 million Galaxy devices this year, said T. M. Roh, president of Samsung’s mobile division. Galaxy AI can support 16 languages on-device even without an internet connection.
With” a hybrid approach that combines on-device security and privacy with cloud-based creative power,” Roh argued that the goal is” safe and inclusive AI so that no one is left out.” Like Apple Intelligence, Google AI on Samsung devices will connect to the cloud for certain needs and resources.
For security, the AI-powered Live Translate and Interpreter features are handled on the device.

On the go, the Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra are available.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra’s debut brings a high-end wearable for” adventure,” with water resistance and a tough frame for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes. It has a titanium frame, three times the speed of the previous watch’s CPU, and up to 100 hours of battery life in power saving mode. The Ultra’s battery life, a precise GPS system, and a detailed health monitoring system that connects to the Samsung Health app are its main selling points.
WearOS 5 is used by the Samsung Watch Ultra in a partnership with Google. It retails for$ 649.
The more common watch is the Galaxy Watch 7, which has Samsung Health app features and pricing starts at$ 299. The health widgets include sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring and FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection.
Galaxy Ring revealed
The Galaxy Ring appears to offer as much information as possible on how to live a healthy lifestyle. To track sleep and energy, the Ring is designed to be worn both day and night.
Galaxy AI offers insights based on health tracking, too. Sleep tracking produces an “energy score” calculated from your sleep, heart rate and heart rate variability. Using that score, your devices can suggest when you’re fully rested or when you should “take it easy” or “relax”, depending on your condition.
The Ring battery charges once, and it charges for up to 7 days. The Galaxy Ring costs$ 399.99 and does not require a subscription.
Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro bring a familiar shape and ‘ smart’ noise cancellation
Samsung’s next high-end earbuds are the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, which were announced today alongside the next-generation Galaxy Buds3. The bladed lights on the Galaxy Buds3 Pro add a futuristic flair, while the elongated shape recalls Apple’s rival AirPods.
” Dynamically adjust the sound curve and active noise cancellation” for an’ “intelligent’ sound experience”, said Malika Chraibi, project manager for wearables at Samsung Electronics France. For example, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro could provide effective, smart noise cancellation for crowded offices, especially if that’ intelligence’ works as well as advertised. According to Chraibi, the buds can block out loud road construction, blocking, for instance, the siren of an ambulance coming through.
Without the cap at the top, some of the” smart” features wo n’t work as well as the Pro version, but the basic Buds3 has some of the same noise cancellation features as the Pro version.
The Galaxy Buds 3 cost$ 179, while the Galaxy Buds3 Pro sells for$ 249.
On the eve of the Paris Olympics, Samsung leans into health and exercise features
Samsung stressed how their devices can keep track of their health and wellness, and the Parisian styling on the Galaxy Unpacked summer event lent itself to a tie-in with the Summer Games. If that’s your thing, the interaction between the wearables and the phones could give you a quick way to monitor your energy and health while working on long days or taking trips to meet with clients.
Health data from your Samsung devices can be combined with AI to create “data graphs” that can help you make recommendations and fix problems. If you have a low energy score on your data graph, your phone can suggest skipping “your 7 AM spin class”, said Bizon.
Samsung’s efforts in this regard are strikingly similar to those of their main rival, the Apple Watch and the Apple Health Data ecosystem.
