Samsung’s newest foldables are first in line for Gemini Intelligence upgrades

v=RGTGAkNOjCU TL;DR Gemini Intelligence is becoming more capable, letting Samsung’s latest foldables perform real-world tasks like ordering food, booking tickets, and understanding on-screen content. Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 get Gemini-first perks, including the pre-installed Gemini Notebook app and a free six-month Google AI Pro subscription. Gemini is also expanding beyond Samsung’s phones, with wrist-raise activation on the Galaxy Watch 9, and support for Samsung’s upcoming intelligent eyewear later this year.

Google has bigger ambitions for Gemini than simply answering questions. Through Gemini Intelligence , it’s steadily evolving into a system-level Android assistant that can understand context, work across apps, and complete tasks on your behalf. A few months ago, we reported that Samsung’s next foldables could become the perfect playground for Gemini Intelligence.

Now that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 , Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra , and Galaxy Z Flip 8 are official, that prediction has turned out to be spot on. The biggest change is that Gemini is becoming much more action-oriented. Rather than simply telling you how to do something, it can now help get the job done.

The assistant can carry out tasks such as ordering food or booking event tickets while also understanding what’s currently on your screen. So if you’re chatting with friends about dinner plans, for example, Gemini can use that context to help you find a restaurant or complete a booking without making you jump between multiple apps.
