The Future of Mobile AI: Expert Panel Highlights Collaborative, Responsible AI Innovation

 Samsung Electronics unveiled a record number of new products at Galaxy Unpacked 2024 on July 10 including the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch7, Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Buds3 series. Now, the Galaxy AI ecosystem is stronger than ever with the expansion to foldables and wearables



▲  3 Mazarium in Paris


On June 11, Samsung underscored its commitment to mobile AI with a panel discussion called Salon d’AI at 3 Mazarium — a modern convention space characterised by traditional Parisian architecture. Industry leaders and partners from Google, Qualcomm Technologies, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and others joined Samsung on stage for a lively discussion about the future of AI.

More than 300 media and attendees packed the auditorium to hear what the experts had to say. At a time when advancements in AI are set to impact lives on an unprecedented scale, Samsung Newsroom reflected on some valuable insights from participants at Salon d’AI.


A Human-Centric Approach to Mobile AI


Won-joon Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of the Mobile R&D Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, took to the stage and started the panel.


“With the industry leaders and decision makers on stage today, let’s talk about the future of mobile AI based on consumer experiences, the importance of responsible AI development and the critical role of collaboration in shaping AI for humanity,” he said.


Audience members listened attentively, taking notes on their laptops and smartphones. 

 

▲ Won-joon Choi from Samsung Electronics


Moderator Carolina Milanesi, CEO and Founder of Heart of Tech and President of Creative Strategies, initiated the discussion by asking panelists to share their views on the development of mobile AI.


“When we first developed Galaxy AI, we studied users’ needs extensively. Our Galaxy AI started with a deep understanding of our consumers,” said Choi. “Based on our research, we developed practical Galaxy AI features — not just gimmick features — that provide meaningful experiences to our users.”


 

▲ Dr. Chris Brauer from the University of London


Then, Samsung announced the results of a global academic study conducted in partnership with the Goldsmiths’ Institute of Management Studies at the University of London.


“This study with Samsung is the first-of-its-kind, academic-grade research to understand the effects of mobile AI on quality of life,” said Dr. Chris Brauer, Director of Innovation at Goldsmiths’ Institute of Management Studies, University of London. “What we learned gave us a clear indication of the immense potential that AI has.”


According to the data, frequent users of AI are more likely to report a higher quality of life compared to those who rarely use AI. These respondents view AI as more than a tool to automate tasks.


 

 

▲ (From top to bottom) Daehyun Kim from Samsung Electronics and Don McGuire from Qualcomm Technologies


In addition, the panelists looked at the role of mobile AI in stimulating creativity and improving productivity. Daehyun Kim, Executive Vice President of the Global AI Center, Samsung Research at Samsung Electronics, pointed to the study as proof that AI will unlock people’s creativity.


“Frequent AI users are two times more likely to express themselves creatively,” he said. “With all this AI technology, we’re making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”


Don McGuire, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Qualcomm Technologies, weighed in on how the findings signal where AI is headed — moving beyond “prompt and response” functions.


“We’re seeing AI transition beyond novelty to be truly useful,” he said. “AI has to become more suggestive and anticipatory. Samsung has perfected this with some of the features launched on Galaxy AI.”


Mobile AI Innovation Driven by Open Collaboration


Collaboration emerged as one of the conversation’s biggest themes. Through open collaboration with Google, Qualcomm Technologies and others, Samsung is providing state-of-the-art AI-based user experiences.

 

▲ Jenny Blackburn from Google


“The launch of Circle to Search with the Galaxy S24 series was such a canonical example of the collaboration between Google and Samsung,” said Jenny Blackburn, Vice President of User Experience for Gemini Experiences and Google Assistant at Google. “It took a while for us to align on how we introduce that feature — to create something that works for everyone across different devices in a range of situations.”


 

▲ (From left to right) Qualcomm Technologies’s Don McGuire, Samsung’s Won-joon Choi, Google’s Jenny Blackburn


The hybrid AI approach that Galaxy AI adopted became another focal point of the discussion.


“Years from now, the hybrid approach to mobile AI will be considered the only approach to mobile AI,” said Kim. “Hybrid AI combines the responsiveness of on-device AI with the vast resources and experiences powered by cloud-based AI.”


Although Samsung has carefully developed its own generative AI model, the company strives to innovate and collaborate with the goal of developing human-centric AI.


“The scaling of AI will need to be hybrid for many practical reasons but also from a user experience perspective,” said McGuire. “We’re committed to working with Samsung, Google and others to provide strong on-device AI and cloud-based AI together.”


Expanding AI in a Safe and Inclusive Way


Finally, the panelists addressed the need to promote responsible innovation and inclusive AI development. 


“Regulation is still working to fully catch up with the speed of AI innovation,” said Lucia Russo, Economist and Policy Analyst in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Unit, Digital Economy Policy Division at OECD. “We want to encourage innovation but not at the cost of ethics or privacy.”


 

 

▲ Lucia Russo from OECD


“Privacy is the most important thing in this hyperconnected era. We aim to provide innovation and safety under three core principles — fairness, transparency and accountability,” said Kim. “With the Galaxy AI Dashboard, users can choose cloud-based services or have some features operate entirely on-device.”


“In the near future, AI will be multi-modal to process various types of input including text, images, audio, and video. At the same time, AI will become contextual to grasp the situation at hand,” he continued. “Providing users with choice and control is a constant consideration in mobile AI innovation.”

 

The first AI media event for Galaxy, Salon d’AI demonstrated how Samsung is moving beyond technological innovation in its AI development efforts by improving quality of life. In its pursuit of developing AI for all, Samsung looks forward to opening new opportunities through AI — with an eye on enhanced security and open collaboration.

Ultra Modern, Ultra Sleek: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6

 The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 embody modern, sleek design. Through their simple, solid exterior and linear form, these devices express what Galaxy’s design identity is all about. Explore the design story behind the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, where modernity and simplicity converge.


*The images featured in this article are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual product. Product specifications may vary by country, region, model and carrier.

 

Iconic and Unique



Floating Design, a distinctive and impactful design element newly incorporated into the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, makes it seem like the foldables’ screens float above their bodies when viewed from the side. When folded, the bold line along the side of the devices not only accentuates their sleek, linear form, but also facilitates easier opening, enhancing overall usability.



Linear form is a core aspect of the Galaxy Z Fold6 design, maximized by its effortlessly sleek and streamlined, yet balanced shape. By reducing the length and increasing the width of the cover screen, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is more user-friendly than ever before with a refreshing new look. The corners on the right-hand side of the device now mirror the shape of those on the left, resulting in an almost symmetrical silhouette when folded.

 

 

 

Through six generations of technological advancements and design expertise, the Galaxy Z Fold6 stands out as the slimmest and lightest among all Galaxy Z Fold models to date. Its balanced design and thin form ensure maximum comfort, adding to the desirability of this premium foldable phone.

 

 

 

One of the Galaxy series’ most defining features is its signature linear camera layout and this design motif takes center stage on both the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. The Galaxy Z Fold6 sports a bold camera decoration that further highlights the row of three circles descending vertically from the back top left corner of the device.

 

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip6’s camera design exudes the vibrant, bubbly spirit of the Galaxy Z Flip series with a new camera decoration designed to match the diverse range of available body colors. The linear camera arrangements are even more prominent than in previous models, making the new Galaxy smartphones instantly recognizable.

  

Vibrant and Multicolored

 

*The Navy, Blue, Mint and Yellow images were created by generative AI (Navy, Blue, Yellow: Photoshop AI / Mint: Midjourney)


The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 bring a lively mood with both vivid and subtle colors. Each hue in this series evokes joyful moments connecting with nature. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is available in Silver Shadow, Pink and Navy, reflecting the confidence and sophistication of premium foldable phones. The Galaxy Z Flip6 is also available in the same Silver Shadow as the Galaxy Z Fold6, plus Blue, Mint and Yellow.

 

 

Featuring geometric shapes, the wallpapers of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 seamlessly blend into the devices’ exterior aesthetics. They illustrate a graceful motion of light and shadow that mirrors the light reflecting off the haze glass on the back of the products.

 

The palette of the wallpaper dynamically adapts to the visual cues conveyed by each device’s color, bringing it to life. To balance aesthetics and usability, brightness and contrast adjustments optimize the display’s energy consumption. Elegant animations amplify the sense of space created by the arrangement of outwardly extending circles and lines. Additionally, the wallpaper responds interactively depending on the angle of the display, turning the simple act of folding and unfolding into moments of joy.


The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 herald a new beginning for the Galaxy Z series with designs that focus on the essence of what they are. Encapsulating the very nature of what Galaxy seeks to be with even greater boldness and style, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are poised to shape the future of foldables.

[Galaxy History 3] Evolution of the Galaxy Watch Series - Reimagining the Watch

 Before smartwatches, there was only one reason for anyone to look at their watch. Now, telling time is just one of a myriad of smartwatch functions. People use smartwatches to check time, keep track of important health markers, communicate with friends, choose watch faces for the day and enjoy various content from their wrists.


Samsung Newsroom traced the evolution of the Galaxy Watch series over the past decade — as the device transcended its traditional role and redefined what it meant to be a watch.

 

 

 

 

Thinking Outside the Box: Opening a New Era of Smartwatch

 


Unveiled in September 2013, the revolutionary Galaxy Gear brought the Galaxy experience closer to everyday life. The wearable featured a 41.4-millimeter display that allowed users to make and receive calls, schedule events, set alarms and check the weather with their voice. Photos and short videos could be captured in the moment without smartphones, thanks to the 1.9-megapixel camera attached to the strap and the ingenious Memographer feature. More than a wristwatch, the Galaxy Gear set the stage for a new era of smartwatches.

 

 

 

Samsung launched the second-generation Samsung Gear2 in February 2014. Lighter and thinner than its predecessor, this device was equipped with a longer-lasting battery and packed with more features that could be used without a smartphone. Users could monitor their heart rate and track their exercise in real time with the heart rate sensor or turn the watch into a standalone music player with the embedded file storage. The Samsung Gear2 Neo was introduced at the same time, offering consumers an additional option with all the same features of the Samsung Gear2 except the camera.

 

 






 

Released in 2014, the Samsung Gear S was Samsung’s first smartwatch to feature a large, curved Super AMOLED display that wrapped around the user’s wrist — supporting 3G and Wi-Fi without a smartphone connection. The Samsung Gear S2, its 2015 successor, was Samsung’s first smartwatch with a circular display and the rotating bezel that is now a hallmark of the Galaxy Watch Classic lineup.

 

 



In 2016, Samsung launched the Samsung Gear S3 which turned heads with an elegant design inspired by traditional timepieces and more innovative functions that improved daily life. The Always On Display feature continuously showed the time on users’ wrists with the Super AMOLED display that supports 16 million colors. Featuring a built-in speaker and microphone, the device allowed users to take calls on speakerphone without a Bluetooth headset. Meanwhile, the GPS helped users record exercise history or check routes on maps without a smartphone.

 

 

 

Samsung Gear Sport, the last model in the Samsung Gear series, offered a sporty design for those with an active lifestyle. Boasting 5 ATM water resistance, the watch could be worn while swimming. Improved water resistance functions included Water lock mode which prevents unintentional activation of the touchscreen in strong currents.


 


Galaxy Watch: A New Partner for Balanced Lifestyles


 

 

In August 2018, the Galaxy Watch series was born. This rebrand reflected the diverse and ever-expanding functions of a smartwatch in today’s world — as a health tracker, personal assistant, fashion accessory and much more. To enhance the user experience and highlight Samsung’s smartwatch identity, the wearable maintained the signature circular bezel from previous models but added an hourly alarm and ticking sound of the second hand for the first time. Available in three colors and 42- and 46-millimeter sizes, this versatile device offered stress management and sleep management features to enhance users’ health and wellness. Users could keep track of workouts from 39 different kinds of exercises as well, more than any other watch on the market at the time.

 


Samsung launched a new lineup of smartwatches in February 2019 with the Galaxy Watch Active, specifically designed for users with active lifestyles. Boasting a 28.1-millimeter Super AMOLED display, this watch retained the signature circular shape but eliminated the bezel and used aluminum to decrease the weight by 25 grams. The 20-millimeter watchband made of flexible fluoroelastomer offered fashion-conscious users a variety of options to express their individuality. On the other hand, health-conscious users could track their exercise, sleep, stress levels and blood pressure in real time — they could even check how long they spent in rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep versus the other three sleep stages.

 

 


In August 2019, the Galaxy Watch Active2 took personalized health and wellness management to the next level for people seeking healthier lifestyles. Apart from the rotating bezel and other user experience enhancements, the My Style feature provided more stylish, customized watch faces to users. The wearable was the perfect partner in helping users adopt healthier and more balanced lifestyles through the upgraded stress and sleep management functions as well as the exercise feature that could track more than 39 different types of workouts. Moreover, the upgraded Galaxy ecosystem improved connectivity and everyday convenience.

A New Era: Integrated Healthcare Is Here

 

 

After two years, Samsung brought health seekers the Galaxy Watch3 in August 2020. Maintaining the circular bezel made of stainless steel, users could choose from a larger 41- or 45-millimeter display with a lighter, thinner body. For the first time in Galaxy history, Samsung added an even lighter, stronger and more premium model made of titanium. The device provided an integrated healthcare experience from the wrist with health, fitness, sleep management and blood pressure monitoring. In addition, Samsung introduced electrocardiogram (ECG) readings and a blood oxygen feature to track oxygen saturation over time.


The Galaxy Watch4 series redefined the smartwatch experience in August 2021 — with two models, the modern and minimalistic Galaxy Watch4 and the more traditional Galaxy Watch4 Classic featuring the signature rotating bezel. Launched for the first time, the BioActive Sensor measured various health indicators such as blood pressure, ECG and blood oxygen saturation levels more accurately than the previous watch. Users wanting more holistic health insights could measure their body composition by simply placing two fingers on the smartwatch to learn how to manage and achieve their health goals. The wearable was equipped with the new Wear OS, developed jointly with Google, so that users could access a larger variety of applications. Meanwhile, the new One UI Watch update significantly enhanced the user experience by seamlessly connecting the watch with Samsung smartphones, wireless earbuds and other devices.


 


Above Wrist: A Partner To Better Know Yourself


 

 

In August 2022, Samsung opened the next chapter of smartwatches with the Galaxy Watch5 series. Optimal for outdoor sports, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro was newly introduced in this lineup. The more advanced Samsung BioActive Sensor improved the accuracy of body composition, heart rate and ECG monitoring measurements. Notably, a newly equipped temperature sensor on the Galaxy Watch5 provided skin temperature-based predictions to help women conveniently track their menstrual cycles.

 

Samsung once again stood by its health-seeking users with the Galaxy Watch6 series, unveiled in July 2023. This wearable offers holistic health features to provide more personalized, innovative health solutions to users who want to better manage their health. Complete with a slimmer bezel, the display is about 20% larger than its predecessors to help users see more information at a glance. Galaxy Watch6 is designed with the signature circular design, whereas the Galaxy Watch6 Classic features a rotating bezel reminiscent of analog watches. A new button replaced the spring-bar structure, allowing users to easily switch their watchbands with one click.

 

With an even more sensitive BioActive sensor and a high-performance processor, health metrics became more specialized — ranging from sleep management and fitness coaching to heart health monitoring.


An AI-Based Galaxy Health Experience and the Next-Generation Watch

Samsung unveiled One UI 6 Watch in May 2024. With this, the company has successfully transformed the Galaxy Watch into a total digital healthcare assistant that measures indicators such as heart rate, sleep patterns and more. Health insights are more comprehensive and detailed than ever before, and users now receive personalized messages powered by AI to motivate them to reach their health goals. Moreover, the upcoming Galaxy Watch series to be released in the second half of this year will measure Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) with an updated BioActive Sensor that features light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in more colors and newly designed photodiodes.

 

Samsung is constantly expanding its horizons and will continue to do so. Each new wearable not only offers basic watch functions but also delivers services that younger generations have come to expect. Striving to become the closest partner that values every exciting and precious moment in each user’s life, Samsung has pushed the boundaries of the smartwatch for more than a decade — and the best is yet to come.
