Samsung AI: New Galaxy Z Fold6, Flip6 take foldables into the future

With the latest edition of its foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, and wearables series, Samsung is shaking things up again. But this time, it’s not just about the cool folding action (although, let’s face it, that’s still pretty cool).

These new devices are all about Galaxy AI, Samsung’s next-gen artificial intelligence that takes your mobile experience to a whole new level.

The brand’s continued innovation for foldables has also created the slimmest and lightest Galaxy Z series ever, optimising the devices for portability. They feature enhanced Armor Aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, making this the most durable Galaxy Z series yet.

The new devices also have the Snapdragon  8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the most advanced Snapdragon mobile processor, combining best-in-class CPU, GPU and NPU performance.

Here are the other features we love:

Galaxy Z Fold6

Imagine a phone that transforms into a mini tablet. That’s the Z Fold6 in a nutshell. But it’s not just a bigger screen; the AI smarts built-in make it a productivity powerhouse.
• Smarter note-taking: Take notes with Note Assist, which translates languages, summarizes info, and even formats your meeting minutes for easy reading. Plus, a new feature lets you record lectures and have them transcribed and translated on the fly.
• Write like a pro: Feeling uninspired? Composer on Samsung Keyboard suggests text based on keywords for emails and social media. It even analyses your past posts to capture your writing style.
• The ultimate multitasker: Need to research a K-pop music video while watching it? No problem. The Z Fold6 integrates seamlessly with Google’s latest Gemini assistant. Just swipe the corner or say “Hey Google” to get help writing, planning trips, or searching the web.
• Enhanced accessibility: The Z Fold6’s dual-screen design gets an AI upgrade too. The Interpreter app now features a conversation mode, where both parties can see translations on separate screens. Plus, live phone call translations work with even more third-party apps.

Galaxy Z Flip6

A pocket-sized powerhouse, the Z Flip6 isn’t just about portability; it’s about customisation and on-the-go creativity.
• Big on display: The 3.4-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow has been enhanced yet again, enabling AI-assisted functions without even needing to open the device. • The AI-powered assistant in your pocket: The improved FlexWindow lets you access features like suggested replies to texts, health updates, and music controls without even opening the phone. Plus, the AI-powered Photo Ambient feature changes your wallpaper based on the weather.
• Effortless creativity: Take stunning photos with the new Auto Zoom function, which automatically finds the perfect framing for your shot. And the upgraded camera boasts a 50MP sensor for crystal-clear pictures and videos, even in low light.
• The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a massive vapour chamber: it is 150 per cent bigger than the one on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
• Security and sustainability: Samsung keeps your data safe with Knox, their multi-layered security platform. Plus, you have complete control over how your data is used for AI features.

The Z Fold6 and Flip6 are also built with sustainability in mind, using recycled materials and eco-conscious packaging.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Series

The Galaxy Buds3 series gets a boost from Galaxy AI too. Here’s what you can expect:
• Language is no more a barrier: Attending a foreign language class or chatting with an Arabic or Hindi speaker? Use the Interpreter function to hear the lecture or conversation translated directly through the Buds.
• Smarter sound: The Galaxy Buds3 series intelligently adjusts sound quality based on how you wear them. Plus, the Buds3 Pro automatically optimises noise cancellation for your comfort.
• Premium audio on the go: Experience crystal-clear sound with high-quality speakers and a doubled sampling rate for lossless audio.

The Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, and Galaxy Buds3 series are available in a variety of colours to suit your style. With their cutting-edge AI features, powerful performance, and focus on sustainability, these devices are sure to turn heads and redefine the mobile experience.
