Galaxy AI on the new Galaxy Z8 Series: All the features you need to know about
The newly launched Galaxy Z8 Series brings a whole new set of Galaxy AI innovations, engineered to feel right at home on a foldable. From effortless multitasking on the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra to hands-free intelligence through the FlexWindow on the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy AI has been reimagined for the way our foldables fold, flip, and flex. Here are the Galaxy AI features worth knowing about.
What is Galaxy AI on the new Galaxy Z8 Series?
Galaxy AI is our on-device and cloud-powered intelligence layer built into One UI, designed to make everyday tasks faster, creative work smoother, and communication more natural. On the new Galaxy Z8 Series, it adapts to each form factor, using the wider display of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra for deeper multitasking, and the FlexWindow of the Galaxy Z Flip8 for glanceable, hands-free moments.
Standout Galaxy AI capabilities across the Galaxy Z8 Series include Circle to Search with Google, Live Translate, Interpreter, Note Assist, Chat Assist, Browsing Assist, Writing Assist, Generative Edit, Portrait Studio, Drawing Assist, Instant Slow-mo, and Now Brief.
What Galaxy AI features are available on the Galaxy Z Fold8?
The Galaxy Z Fold8 puts Galaxy AI to work across its wider display. You can run Note Assist and Browsing Assist side by side, summarising a long article on one half while drafting your notes on the other, and Cross App Actions lets you move information between apps without switching screens.
Circle to Search with Google turns anything on screen into an instant query while you stream, read, or scroll. Live Translate handles real-time voice calls across multiple languages, and Chat Assist refines your tone in messaging apps. Generative Edit and Portrait Studio let you reframe shots, remove distractions, and restyle portraits with a tap.
What AI features are included in the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra delivers the full Galaxy AI suite with extra headroom for multitasking, letting you split Writing Assist, Note Assist, and Browsing Assist across a single, uninterrupted view.
Drawing Assist and Sketch to Image feel natural on the larger display, turning rough ideas into polished visuals. Interpreter mode uses both screens at once, so two people can read a live translation on either side of the fold. For creators, Instant Slow-mo and Generative Edit turn everyday clips and stills into share-ready content.
What Galaxy AI features are on the Galaxy Z Flip8?
The Galaxy Z Flip8 brings Galaxy AI into a compact, pocket-friendly form, with the FlexWindow taking centre stage. You can use Interpreter, Live Translate, and Circle to Search directly from the cover screen, without ever opening the phone.
Chat Assist helps you reply faster with polished tone suggestions, while Portrait Studio and Generative Edit refresh your photos with a few taps. FlexCam paired with Galaxy AI unlocks new hands-free shots, using the FlexWindow as a live preview for creators.
How useful are AI features on foldable phones?
Foldables give Galaxy AI more surfaces to work with. On the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, that means running assistants side by side across a larger canvas. On the Galaxy Z Flip8, it means glanceable, hands-free AI moments through the FlexWindow. It is a unqiue way to use AI tools compared to a traditional slab phone.
