After first announcing onboard AI in January, Samsung expanded what it's calling the Galaxy AI ecosystem on July 10 at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris.

Samsung's two newest phones are the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, both of which use Google's Gemini AI for translation, creative features and cosmetic changes.

The 7.6-inch Galaxy Z Fold6 is "Our slimmest and lightest foldable," said Annika Bizon, director of brand and channel marketing at Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland, at Galaxy Unpacked.

"On Galaxy phones, you can just say 'hey Google' to pop Gemini onto your screen for quick help," said Jenny Blackburn, vice president of Gemini user experience at Google, at the Galaxy Unpacked presentation.

Galaxy AI will be on 200 million Galaxy devices this year, said T. M. Roh, president of Samsung's mobile division.

The Galaxy Buds 3 cost $179, while the Galaxy Buds3 Pro sells for $249. On the eve of the Paris Olympics, Samsung leans into health and exercise features.
