At 4:30 PM local time on the 9th, Samsung Electronics held a pre-briefing for the 'Galaxy Unpacked 2024' event in Paris, France. When a Samsung Electronics French staff member spoke in French while placing the foldable phone 'Galaxy Z Flip 6' upright at a right angle, the main screen visible to the reporter displayed Korean text along with the voice saying, "Hello. I am French and I live in Paris." Conversely, when the reporter said in Korean, "Hello, I am from Korea," the cover screen displayed the phrase 'Bonjour. Je viens de Cor?e' in real time.


On the 10th at 3 PM, Samsung Electronics held the Galaxy Unpacked event at Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and unveiled the new foldable phones 'Galaxy Z Flip 6' and 'Galaxy Z Fold 6.' The 'Conversation Mode,' which utilizes the dual screen in the 'interpretation function,' allows two people to simultaneously check the internal and external screens respectively. This feature is also available on the 'Galaxy Z Fold 6.' Under the theme 'Galaxy AI is Here,' which signifies showcasing the true capabilities of Galaxy artificial intelligence (AI), Samsung demonstrated AI tailored to the characteristics of foldable devices at this Unpacked event.

Among the newly added AI features, many were helpful for learning. The 'Voice Recording to Text Conversion' feature of the 'Note Assist' in the 'Samsung Notes' app synchronizes voice and notes, making it useful for review. Opening the Notes app on the Galaxy Fold 6, playing a recorded English lecture on the large screen, and taking notes accordingly, then selecting this feature displayed the converted text on the right side of the large screen. When a specific section of the text was tapped, the notes also rewound to the point when that section was written, like a time slip. Using another feature of Note Assist, 'PDF Overlay Translation,' a PDF paper was translated into the desired language without any format changes.



The 'Circle to Search' feature, which searches for information by circling a query, provided answers and solutions to math formulas. Taking a photo of a problem involving a function with x squared and searching it with Circle to Search resulted in step-by-step solutions including simplification and application of the quadratic formula. It seems useful when helping someone with math homework and suddenly forgetting a formula.

An AI feature was also added that finds appropriate replies on the small cover screen without opening the phone when a message arrives while using the Galaxy Z Flip 6 folded. When a message saying "What are you doing today?" arrived and the 'Reply Suggestion' feature was pressed, AI recommended three suitable reply messages. A Samsung Electronics official said, "It analyzes the seven most recent messages from the sender to provide an appropriate response," adding, "You can feel that it understands the context and makes recommendations." However, it seems that the user's tone of voice is not yet reflected. The official said, "We are considering applying this feature."

There was also an AI feature exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 using the 'S Pen.' Through the 'Sketch Conversion' feature, when a simple cat was drawn in the 'Notes' app, a three-dimensional colored cat image appeared. The unexpected visual brought a smile. Drawing on top of photos in the gallery also generates images. However, the S Pen must be purchased separately.
