Samsung, fold

Following the Galaxy Z Fold 7 event, Android Police reported that Samsung said all Galaxy AI features that “are on your phone by default” will remain free. Even so, the fine print on the new product pages still includes the same deadline we’ve seen since the Galaxy S24 launch:
Samsung has confirmed certain AI features will remain free, even if it does begin charging to use its Galaxy AI platform. We don’t yet know whether the brand plans to bring in a paid subscription.
The newly-announced Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 come with six months free, and clearly Google is hoping that by the time that free period is up, you won't be able to live without all the AI goodness you get with a subscription.
Google also announced that, starting with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, you’ll be able to long-press the power button and have Gemini take a gander at your screen while you’re scrolling. With live access to what you’re looking at, you can ask Gemini for help on stuff like product comparisons. Per Google:
We tried out the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and the Watch 8 Classic smartwatches. They look great, feel comfortable, and offer new AI features, but are more expensive than previous-gen models.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 aren't cheap, but Samsung says it could've charged more for the foldables.

Samsung and Google's partnership is still going strong, bringing Gemini AI features to Samsung's foldables lineup. At Samsung Unpacked, Google's senior VP of devices and services Rick Osterloh came onstage to announce Gemini-powered AI features for the new Samsung Z Fold 7.
Samsung confirms it won't charge for its Galaxy AI tools, even as it rolls out major improvements with its latest foldables.
Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 40mm smartwatch is available at its lowest price ever on Amazon, but you’ll need to be a Prime member to grab this exclusive deal. The watch is now just $159, down from its regular price of $299 and that’s a huge 47% discount.
