Google and Samsung have teamed up to bring some exciting updates to the latest Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Z Flip6, Z Fold6, and the newest Galaxy Watches. If you’re curious about what’s coming your way, here’s a rundown of the four new features Google announced:
- Gemini Suggestions Based on Your Screen:
Imagine having an AI assistant right on your phone that can suggest helpful actions based on what you’re doing. That’s exactly what Gemini does. Integrated deeply with Google apps, Gemini on the new Galaxy Z series will soon give you context-specific suggestions. For example, if you’re watching a video on YouTube, you might get a prompt like “Ask about this video” right on your screen. This feature will be especially handy on the Galaxy Z Fold6’s large screen, allowing for seamless multitasking. These updates will be rolling out in the coming months. - Circle to Search Enhancements:
Circle to Search is a nifty tool that lets you search without leaving your current app. Now, it’s getting even smarter. On the new Galaxy Z series, including the Z Fold6 and Flip6, Circle to Search will soon support scanning barcodes and QR codes directly from your screen. It’s like having a built-in scanner wherever you need it. This update will be available starting later this month and will expand to more Samsung devices throughout the year. - Wear OS 5 on Galaxy Watches:
Google’s Wear OS 5 is making its debut on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch lineup, such as the Watch Ultra and Watch7. This update brings improved performance and longer battery life, making these smartwatches even more efficient. Whether you’re tracking your heart rate, monitoring sleep patterns, or exploring apps on Google Play, Wear OS 5 promises a smoother experience on the go. - YouTube TV Multiview on GalaxyZ Fold6:
For YouTube TV subscribers, watching multiple streams simultaneously is about to get easier on the Galaxy Z Fold6. You’ll soon be able to enjoy up to four different streams at once, whether it’s catching up on news, following multiple sports events, or watching your favorite shows side by side. It’s like having a mini TV studio in your pocket.
These updates showcase Google and Samsung’s commitment to enhancing your experience across smartphones, wearables, and future technologies. Stay tuned for these features rolling out soon, bringing more convenience and functionality to your Galaxy devices.
