Samsung just dropped two new folding phones – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Yeah, they look sleek and fold up neat, but the real magic? It’s packed into some seriously smart new AI features, thanks to Samsung teaming up with Google. Forget the techy jargon; here’s what these features actually do for you in plain talk:
Game Help, Right on Screen (Circle to Search Gets Smarter)
Stuck on a tough game level? Just circle the tricky part, character, or item right on your screen. Your phone will instantly find tips, video guides, or explain character strengths. It’s like having a gaming expert hiding in your pocket. Just circle, ask, and get unstuck.
Your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Flip Phone’s Tiny Screen Just Got Super Smart (Gemini Live + Flex Mode)
Flip 7 users, listen up! That little cover screen isn’t just for notifications anymore. Pop it open part-way (that’s Flex Mode, like a mini tripod), fire up Gemini Live, point the camera, and ask away. Show it your outfit: “Do these shoes work?” Point at a leaky faucet: “How do I fix this?” It sees what you see and gives real-time advice. Your cover screen just became your personal helper.
Your Daily Update, Made Just For You (Now Brief Upgrades)
Tired of digging through apps? Your new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable gives you a quick, spoken daily rundown. Think: “Here’s your schedule today, you have a meeting at 11, your step count was low yesterday, and oh, here’s a new song you might like based on your playlist.” It pulls together your calendar, health stats, and even suggests music or shows you’ll probably enjoy. Just listen – hands-free.
Your Big Screen Gets a Brain Boost (Gemini On-Screen Awareness – Fold 7 Only)
Got the big-screen Fold 7? This one’s neat. Press and hold the power button while you’re looking at anything on your screen, and ask Gemini about it. Shopping online? Ask “Is this price good?” Reading an article? Say “Explain this part simpler.” Researching a trip? “Find cheaper flights for these dates.” Gemini sees what’s on your entire screen to help, making the big display even more useful.
Gemini Talks to Your Samsung Stuff (App Integration)
Now Gemini can actually do things for you in your Samsung apps, not just answer questions. Point your camera at a concert poster and say, “Add this to my Samsung Calendar.” See a recipe? “Save these ingredients to a Samsung Note.” It understands your voice commands and interacts with your Calendar, Notes, and Reminders, acting like a super-efficient personal assistant.
Why It Feels Different
These aren’t just fancy tech demos. Samsung and Google focused on making AI actually helpful for how people use foldable phones. That tiny Flip cover screen? Now it’s useful. That big Fold display? Now it’s smarter. Getting quick info without opening ten apps? Done. It’s about your phone understanding what you see and what you need, right then, and doing something genuinely handy about it. These new foldables feel less like gadgets and more like clever little sidekicks.
