Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 The First Folding Phones to Support Gemini Nano AI Model
TapTechNews on August 10th, it was reported that on August 8th, the tech media AndroidAuthority published a blog post stating that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have become the first batch of folding phones to support the local running of the Gemini Nano AI model.
Not yet integrated into Galaxy AI
TapTechNews cited sources as reporting that at this stage, Galaxy AI and the Gemini Nano AI model are two separate systems and have not yet been integrated, not even for text-based functions such as chat assistance, note assistance, text recording assistance, or browsing assistance.
When the media tested without downloading the Gemini Nano model, when Galaxy AI runs locally, it can:
Change the writing style in SamsungKeyboard
Adjust the spelling and grammar in SamsungKeyboard
Transcribe text and translate text in SamsungVoiceRecorder
Pre-installed AI Core service
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 come pre-installed with the AI Core service, which is a service in the Android system responsible for downloading, updating, and providing APIs for the Gemini Nano model.
Users can judge whether the AI Core service has downloaded the Gemini Nano model from the capacity. If it is about 50MB in size, it means the model has not been downloaded yet, but if it is greater than about 1GB, it means the model has been downloaded.
Gemini Nano model features
MagicCompose in Google Messages
MagicCompose is a function in the Google Messages application that uses the most recent 20 messages in the conversation as the context to send a series of recommended contents to the contact.
Summary (currently unavailable)
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, as well as the Galaxy S24 series phones do not have the PixelRecorder application, so the summary function cannot be used.
Smart reply function of Gboard (currently unavailable)
Although Samsung supports running the Gboard application, the smart reply function cannot be used, and it may be necessary to enable the relevant API or service in the AI Core.
