Samsung is working on «radically different» phones for Galaxy AI beyond the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 foldables that it has just launched.
Samsung unveiled two foldable phones that also happen to be Galaxy AI phones. That is, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 feature a few extra genAI tricks on top of the Galaxy AI features that Samsung introduced earlier this year on the Galaxy S24 series.
In some ways, the foldables are great form factors for using AI on the go. For example, the Fold 6’s stylus support lets you draw sketches that the AI can turn into images. You can use your finger for the same purpose on the Flip 6, but it’s not quite the same. Then there’s the Interpreter live translation feature that takes advantage of the folded screen so everyone can see the conversation.
Any Samsung phone can be turned into a Galaxy AI device as long as the hardware supports it. Rather than just add Ai to the same old devices, however, Samsung is working on some “radically different” AI phones that might shake things up a bit.
We’re very early in the AI revolution. Maybe the Galaxy AI phone of the distant future has to look radically different from the rectangular device you currently carry in your pocket or purse. Samsung mobile chief TM Roh did not say what these new AI phones might look like or when they’ll launch.
