In January, Samsung introduced the S24 as the first smart phones brand with AI. Now, the sixth version of the folding items will be entitled to AI features, resulting from the partnership with Google, and will be “fully integrated” in these larger screens.

Thanks to a “long term partnership” between Google and Samsung, AI capabilities will be automatically integrated into various applications, such as Maps or Gmail.

To ensure that the document does not overheat under the pressure of AI tools or during games, the steam chamber of the Fold 6 has increased (it is 1.6 times larger than the previous version) and the Flip has a component for the first time 6 for the first time. of this kind.
