Samsung Galaxy AI Devices, First Look Inside the Box

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of AI into our daily devices is not just an upgrade. It’s a transformation. Samsung’s recent introduction of AI-enabled devices, the Galaxy AI series marks a significant step toward a future where our gadgets do more than just serve us. They learn from us, adapt to us, and ultimately, help us grow.

The Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy Buds3 Pro are more than just the latest in mobile tech. These devices exemplify how AI is becoming a cognitive partner. It enhances usability, and bridging the gap between human intention and technological execution. With AI, devices have become smarter, more intuitive, and better able to anticipate and respond to our needs, making everyday tasks simpler and more efficient.

Cognitive Skills, the Most Valuable Currency

But beyond these conveniences, the real potential of AI lies in its ability to help us evolve cognitively. As AI takes over routine tasks, does it help us free up mental space for more complex problem-solving and creativity? This should challenge us to think beyond the skills that are currently in demand and to focus on developing cognitive abilities that can adapt to new, unpredictable environments for instance how to survive a one month black out.  

Empowering Capable Humans in the Age of AI

Since the future is uncertain, how do we use AI not as just a tool but a partner in our cognitive development? Just as learning to code was crucial a few years ago, learning to collaborate with AI will be essential in the coming years. The skills we invest in now should be ones that enhance our ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and adapt to whatever challenges the future holds.

In this context, we hope future AI-driven devices will not only technologically advanced; but enablers of human potential. By integrating AI into everyday tools, device manufacturers should help us prepare for a future where cognitive skills will be the most valuable currency.

As you ponder on this, here are our thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro.

Galaxy Z Fold6

The Z Fold6 Series has undergone a modern transformation, blending sleek aesthetics with enhanced durability. Gone are the curved corners of its predecessors. Samsung replaced these corners with sharp, defined edges that give it a more contemporary look, reminiscent of the S24 Ultra. The once delicate hinges, vital for the foldable display’s longevity, have been reinforced, eliminating concerns about durability.

This foldable smartphone continues to offer the best of both worlds: the productivity of a conventional smartphone when closed and the immersive entertainment experience of a large screen when opened.

Visually, the Z Fold6 now features matte-finished aluminum rails made of Samsung’s Aluminium Armour, enhancing its resilience and grip. The exterior display and rear panel are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, ensuring resistance to scratches and cracks. The rear camera setup is also updated, sitting on a raised island similar to the S24. It houses a powerful trio: a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, delivering versatile photography capabilities.

Buttery Smooth User Interface

The Z Fold6 is designed with the modern user in mind, blending advanced technology with sleek design. When closed, the 6.3-inch exterior cover screen, with its tall and slim 22.1:9 aspect ratio, is perfect for quick tasks like replying to messages or snapping photos with the rear camera. Its unique proportions make it easy to use one-handed; despite offering an ample screen space, it didn’t fit very comfortably on the palm.

When you open the device, you’re greeted by the stunning Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display. With a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz and an impressive 1856 x 2160 resolution, this screen delivers a viewing experience that’s almost on par with Quad HD quality. Whether you’re watching videos, browsing the web, or tackling productivity tasks, this expansive display makes every interaction smooth and immersive.

The Z Fold6 isn’t just about functionality it’s a statement piece. The refined design, combined with its buttery smooth UI makes it stand out for both its performance and its style.

Galaxy Z Flip6

The Galaxy Z Flip6, unlike its slimmer, narrower sibling, it feels more like a regular phone when closed. Its square form factor is not only more compact but also more pocket-friendly.

Unity Between the Screen and Hinges

The craftsmanship of the Galaxy Z Flip6 shows significant improvement. The integration between the screen and hinges is seamless. The hinge itself operates with a smooth, fluid motion, making opening and closing effortless with a satisfying snap. Samsung’s new dual rail hinge design enhances durability and adds water and dust resistance, making it even more resilient.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 boasts a stunning 6.7-inch AMOLED display, offering a vivid and crystal-clear visual experience. With its high resolution, every detail pops with razor-sharp precision, making even the smallest elements stand out.

Polished UI and AI Features

Its 6.7-inch AMOLED display delivers stunning visuals, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Whether you’re scrolling through social media or watching videos, the improved screen brightness of up to 2600 nits ensures clear viewing, even in direct sunlight. The upgraded 50-megapixel camera, borrowed from the Galaxy S24, makes low-light and challenging scenes easier to capture with remarkable sharpness.

Under the hood, the Flip6 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This offers an improved performance and cooling. Paired with Android 14, it ensures smooth navigation and long-lasting support for future updates. Plus, Samsung’s exclusive AI features, like Interpreter mode on the cover screen and Chat Assist for message replies, add a personalized, intelligent touch to your everyday interactions.

Galaxy Buds3 Pro

We were immediately drawn to the Buds3 Pro. Especially with its transparent lid case and LED backlight integrated into the stem, two design elements that really stood out. In the brief time we used them, we noticed that the Buds3 Pro delivered superior sound quality. This is because of the the two-way woofer and tweeter combination, along with the Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling [ANC] feature.

What sets Adaptive ANC apart from traditional ANC is its use of Galaxy AI technology. This tech automatically adjusts to your surroundings. It filters out distractions like unwanted conversations or the noise of passing cars, ensuring an uninterrupted listening experience.

During our session, I even managed to prioritize conversations with our creative team while enjoying music, a testament to the Buds3 Pro’s smart features and seamless user experience.
