Circle to Search Gets a Brain Boost with AI Mode

Remember Circle to Search? Launched last Unpacked and now on millions of devices, it keeps getting smarter. The latest upgrade? AI Mode – Google’s most advanced AI search for those head-scratchers.

Here’s how it works on your new Galaxy:

  • Long-press the home button/navigation bar.
  • Circle anything on your screen that piques your curiosity.
  • Get an AI-powered response instantly.
  • Ask follow-up questions right there to dig deeper.

Think of it like having a super-smart research assistant built into your screen. You get clear breakdowns and handy links to explore further. Perfect for decoding complex topics on the fly.

Share Your Screen & Camera with Gemini

The Fold7 and Flip7 unlock pretty slick multitasking with Gemini Live:

  • Galaxy Z Fold7 (Screen Sharing): Long-press the power button and share your entire screen with Gemini. Get live help while you scroll or switch apps! Stuck choosing a suitcase online? Share your screen, browse the options, and ask Gemini, “Which one has the best material quality?” for real-time advice.
  • Galaxy Z Flip7 (Camera Sharing & Flex Mode): Need help IRL? Go Live, tap the camera button, and flip into Flex Mode. Your Flip7 becomes its own tripod! Get hands-free guidance while trimming your bangs, tackling a DIY project, or perfecting a yoga pose. Plus, a huge first: Share your camera directly from the FlexWindow! Get quick outfit checks or glasses styling tips without even unfolding your phone. Super handy on the go.

Gemini Live Connects to Your Samsung Universe

Gemini’s getting cozy with your favorite apps! After recently adding Google apps (Calendar, Tasks, Maps, Keep), Gemini now links directly with Samsung Calendar, Reminder, and Notes on the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.

Spot an event poster? Open Gemini Live, point your camera, and say:

  • “Check if I’m free when they’re in town.”
  • “Add these events to my Samsung Calendar.”
    Gemini handles it all seamlessly. Planning just got way smoother.

Meet Galaxy Watch8 Sidekick

The Galaxy Watch8 is the first with Wear OS 6, meaning it’s faster, more responsive, and smoother than ever. But the real star? Gemini is built-in.

When your phone’s not handy, your Watch8 has your back:

  • Get answers, manage tasks, and check things off your list.
  • Works seamlessly with Samsung Health, Calendar, Reminder, and Clock thanks to Wear OS 6.
  • Use it all day: track your run, jot down a quick thought, find a restaurant, and send details to a friend – all by speaking naturally to your watch.

All these smart new features are live on your new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and Watch8. As a sweet bonus, both the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 come with 6 months of Google AI Pro. This unlocks deeper access to Google’s top-tier Gemini 2.5 Pro model and powerful new tools like video generation with Veo 3 Fast.
