Today at Galaxy Unpacked, we announced new updates to Google AI capabilities on Android, like Gemini and Circle to Search, that are available on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Watch8 series. These will also be the first new devices to launch with Android 16 and Wear OS 6. Here’s a look at all the updates.
