Samsung says upcoming foldables are 'reimagined' around AI: What to expect

At the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, Samsung is expected to launch its next-generation foldable smartphones, debuting with the Android 16-based One UI 8 platform. Samsung has said that these new foldables have been 'reimagined around a new artificial intelligence-powered interface,' likely forming a key part of the One UI 8 update.
Ahead of the event, images of marketing collateral for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE have reportedly surfaced online, revealing how these devices will use AI to reshape the foldable experience.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 AI features: What to expect
According to a report by 9To5Google, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will fully utilise its unfolded display for photo editing. The Galaxy AI-powered Photo Assist tool will use the left half of the screen to show the original image and the right half to show real-time edits—allowing users to compare changes side-by-side for better results.
The AI-powered Now Brief feature will also take advantage of the full screen, presenting daily briefings with personalised insights such as weather updates and your Energy Score—all without requiring users to swipe or navigate much.
In productivity scenarios, users will be able to split the screen into two active areas: a browser on one side and the Samsung Notes app on the other. The Writing Assist tool powered by Galaxy AI will summarise content from the browser, which users can then drag directly into Notes for later use.
As part of One UI 8, Samsung is also introducing Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), a new architecture for safeguarding personal AI data. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage zones, preventing cross-access of sensitive data between apps. Additionally, Samsung is strengthening its Knox Matrix ecosystem. If a device is flagged as high-risk, it will be automatically signed out of the Samsung Account to prevent threats from spreading across other Galaxy devices.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 AI features: What to expect
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to ship with a significantly larger FlexWindow cover display. This enlarged screen will support more features, allowing users to do much more without unfolding the phone.
For instance, users will be able to take selfies using the folded phone and apply AI-powered filters in real time directly from the cover screen. The new ProVisual Engine, also powered by AI, will help frame subjects more effectively while capturing photos. The device will also include the Personal Data Engine, ensuring sensitive data is encrypted and stored on-device, like the Fold 7.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE AI features: What to expect
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to feature a smaller cover display compared to the standard Flip 7. While fewer details are available about this device, reports suggest it will include the AI-powered Now Bar on the outer display, giving users instant access to music controls, notifications, and more.
Like the standard model, the Now Brief feature will deliver a personalised daily rundown directly on the cover screen—showcasing things like weather updates and Energy Score—eliminating the need to open the main display.

Google Keep reminders will soon move to Tasks: Here's what's changing

In April last year, Google announced that Keep reminders would be automatically saved to Tasks sometime in 2025, but did not share details on when the change would go live. Now, on its support page, the tech giant has confirmed that Keep reminders will integrate with Tasks in the coming months before the end of the year. And while Google is yet to share the exact date, the company has shared some more details about its plan. According to the tech giant, the upcoming integration will make it easier for users to organise and manage all their to-dos in one place. Google says you can also ask Assistant or Gemini to set a reminder on your device or smart display, which will then be saved as a task in Google Tasks, with the app sending you a reminder when it's time to complete the task. If a reminder is based on a location, the location will automatically be added to the task's details field, but you will no longer get a notification based on that location. In case you are assigned a reminder by someone else, the assigner's name will be added to the task's title, but they won't have access to that reminder. Also, if you leave a task incomplete, it will show up on your calendar for up to 365 days as a 'Pending task' in the all-day section of the calendar. Google will also allow you to manage reminders that are converted to tasks using Assistant commands like 'Hey Google, show me my tasks' or 'Hey Google, show me my reminders.' One thing to note here is that you don't necessarily need the Tasks app installed to use reminders with Google Assistant. Apart from Google Tasks, you can also get task notifications from the Calendar and the Google app.
