During the latest Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung and Google announced exciting new AI-powered experiences for Android users — starting with the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and Galaxy Watch8. These are the first devices to ship with Android 16 and Wear OS 6, bringing advanced generative AI features to users’ fingertips through Google’s Gemini and Circle to Search.
Here’s a look at the 4 New AI Features redefining the Samsung Galaxy experience in 2025:
1. Smarter Circle to Search: AI Mode & Mobile Gaming Help
The much-loved Circle to Search just got smarter with AI Mode 1 — Google’s most advanced AI-powered search for mobile yet.
By simply long-pressing the home button or navigation bar, users can circle an item or text on-screen to instantly get contextual information, summarized AI Overviews, and direct follow-up Q&A. This new mode offers:
- AI-powered mobile gaming assistance: Stuck in a game? Circle the in-game challenge, item, or character to get:
- Contextual gaming tips
- Timestamped walkthrough videos
- Helpful guides and links
- Contextual gaming tips
- Interactive exploration: After circling an image or headline, users can ask for deeper insights — just like chatting with an intelligent search assistant.
With AI Mode, search becomes more interactive, visual, and helpful — tailored for real-life, real-time needs.
2. Share Your Screen with Gemini on the Galaxy Z Fold7
Gemini Live, Google’s real-time AI assistant, now gets a big screen boost.
Using the Galaxy Z Fold7, users can long press the power button to launch Gemini and share their screen for multitasking support. Whether you’re:
- Browsing for products
- Comparing options
- Shopping or researching
…you can ask Gemini things like, “Which suitcase should I pick based on durability?” and get instant help as you scroll.
This brings AI-powered collaboration to your fingertips — without switching apps or tabs.
3. Gemini Connects Seamlessly with Samsung Apps
Google is expanding Gemini Live’s integration beyond Google’s ecosystem.
Now, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, Gemini connects directly with popular Samsung apps, including:
- Samsung Calendar
- Samsung Notes
- Samsung Reminder
Example use case: Point your phone at an event poster and ask, “Am I free when this concert is in town?” Gemini will check your calendar and even add it if you ask.
This creates a fluid, AI-assisted planning experience using your Samsung-native tools.
4. Gemini Comes to Your Wrist on Galaxy Watch8
The Galaxy Watch8 is the first wearable to launch with Wear OS 6, and it’s also the first smartwatch to have Gemini pre-installed.
Gemini on the Watch8 means:
- Faster, more responsive UI with fluid transitions
- Voice-enabled tasking without pulling out your phone
- Integrated AI help with Samsung apps like Health, Clock, Calendar, and Reminder
Whether you’re:
- Tracking a morning run
- Trying to remember a thought
- Looking for restaurant suggestions
…just speak naturally to your watch, and Gemini will take care of the rest — even sending that info to a friend with a simple command.
