ONE UI 6.1

Samsung is making Galaxy AI features available on more devices through the One UI 6.1 update.

The update will be available across the entire Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold5 and Z Flip5, and Tab S9 series. The update will roll out from late March.

Having Galaxy AI available on these devices puts them aligned with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. Users will get an upgraded mobile AI experience that is powered by on-device and cloud-based AI.

Transcending barriers

One of Galaxy AI’s capabilities is making communication more enhanced with its AI-supported models.

Among them is the prominent Live Translate feature that provides voice and text translations for phone calls.

With Chat Assist, users can adjust message tone and translate messages in 12 different languages.

Samsung’s foldables will benefit from Interpreter, as its split-screen feature allows text translations for live conversations.

Unparalleled productivity

The integration of Galaxy AI across more devices also enables a more seamless and more efficient user experience.

Search functions are improved through Circle to Search with Google. This generates intuitive search results with a swift circle-motioned gesture.

There are also a variety of tools that assist with summarizing information. There’s Note Assist which allows users to create formats, generate summaries, and translate notes. Browsing Assist, on the other hand, generates comprehensive summaries of news articles. Lastly, Transcript Assist can easily transcribe meeting recordings and even generate summaries and translations.

Unstoppable creativity

Galaxy AI also unlocks individuals’ creative potential through a suite of tools.

For photo editing, using Generative Edit on AI-supported devices can easily resize, reposition, and realign objects. There’s also Edit Suggestion and Instant Slow-mo.

Samsung introduces Flex Titanium tech for foldable displays

To debut with Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy foldable devices

Published

on

Samsung has unveiled the new Flex Titanium technology for its next generation of Galaxy foldable devices.

The redesigned display structure utilizes structural and material advancements to deliver a more refined viewing experience. This included enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility.

Flex Titanium integrates two titanium-based components: a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate. These work together to balance slimness, flexibility, and strength — all within the foldable display structure.

The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices, with details to be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung said it took a new approach to structural design to create a display that provides an immersive viewing experience while withstanding everyday use for years and years.

Titanium offered the right mix to put check mark on all three factors: strength for external shock, flexibility for repeated folding, and thinness for device fit.

The titanium-alloy film is a component that supports the display from within, sitting below the OLED panel. This has a mechanical stiffness 20 times better than polymer film.

A precision rolling process makes the external material exceptionally thin, measuring roughly one-third the thickness of an average human hair.

Below the film is a robust titanium plate for tighter bonding with the display module. It eliminates air gaps between module and the adhesive on the plate through an advanced hole processing technology.

Coming in just a heartbeat, Samsung will unveil the next foldables during the upcoming Unpacked event. The spotlight, naturally, lands on the rumored wide foldable. Now, we don’t have an official look yet, but a new leak is spoiling that for us.

Leaked by Android Headlines, the upcoming foldable, purportedly named the Galaxy Z Fold 8, looks as advertised. The brand’s first wide foldable takes a few inches off the top to deliver a, literally, wide resolution for more display real estate.

There’s not much to say about the specs, but the model does have a camera setup with two shooters. It will also be available in three colorway options: black, white, and lavender. A limited-edition green variant might also make an appearance.

Among the scheduled devices this coming Unpacked, the wide foldable is the main event. Plus, the new leak reveals that a regular Fold isn’t debuting with this batch. Rather, Samsung might go all-in on the wide foldable format.

If that’s not your style, the leak also unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8. The new model doesn’t look different from the usual Flips that we’re used to, so it’s not a big headline.

Finally, the leak reveals the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2.

Honor might launch the Robot Phone in August, leak says

No word on whether it’s a global or a regional launch, though.

Back in CES earlier this year, Honor unveiled the oddly shaped Robot Phone. A unique concept of a smartphone melded with an action camera, the Robot Phone teased a launch date for the third quarter of this year. Well, we’re in the third quarter now, and a new leak has teased that the one-of-a-kind phone is launching in August.

According to Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station (via GizmoChina), Honor has narrowed down August as the launch date of its new smartphone. To be clear, the leaker did not clarify whether this is a global launch or just the regional one.

It should still be an exciting time for a launch, though. The lovechild between a smartphone and an action camera comes just in time for the era of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the Insta360 Luna. A hybrid device scratches both itches.

Honor isn’t shy about showcasing the capabilities of the Robot Phone. Only recently, the Chinese brand showed off the first professional video shot using the new phone.

When it comes to hardware, the Robot Phone touts a 200-megapixel main camera attached to a stabilized gimbal system. If not in use, the camera folds into the device. Super Steady Video keeps the camera steady when taking shots while moving. Meanwhile, AI Object Tracking follows subjects seamlessly, making it a great tool for shooting videos in the field.
