Next-Generation Foldable Phones from Samsung will have New AI Functions

According to a Samsung patent application, a new Galaxy AI feature could launch later this year along with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. According to a KIPRIS application, this AI function would employ artificial intelligence to evaluate the user’s search queries and provide tailored summaries of papers and articles according to the user’s interests, political stance, and other factors.

The patented technique uses usage history data—such as political leaning, knowledge levels, and preferences—that Galaxy devices have collected from users to generate summaries.

Through the Galaxy AI suite for One UI 6.1 and certain smartphones like the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung already provides AI-powered summary features. Samsung Notes papers and Samsung Internet webpages can be summarized using the current feature.

The Galaxy AI Summary Tool’s Next Step

This new AI feature, which is detailed in Samsung’s patents at KIPRIS, will summarize content according to the user’s interests, in contrast to the current summary tool. Users could also give the AI detailed instructions on how to summarize stuff.

Users of Galaxy devices, for instance, have the option of asking the AI to provide a succinct, objective summary of an article or to provide a more detailed summary with a critical tone.

It remains to be seen if this new AI capability will be unveiled at Samsung’s next Unpacked presentation in early July. Applications for patents don’t necessarily lead to the production of actual goods or services, and this may just be an idea that is never implemented.

The new AI capability, according to industry sources cited by the Korean media, may make its debut with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6.
