The Galaxy Buds Live is ideal for daily life as it reduces unnecessary disturbances while letting the important stuff through like voices and announcements. Active noise cancellation, or as we call it, ANC for open type gives you the power to tune in without tuning out.

- Go to Settings > Software update.

Experience the Active noise canceling feature
If you would like to listen to music or want to stay away from a noisy environment, use the Active Noise Canceling feature on your Galaxy Buds Live. You can block out the external noisy sounds around you and be able to concentrate on and there’s no need to raise the volume.
Use Active Noise Canceling when you want to avoid distractions, such as when listening to music. Inside Galaxy Buds Live are AKG tuned speakers that are specifically made to play it all. While the air duct lets air vent easily, so you can feel the vibration in every beat.
With ANC for open type, there is less noise. Now, you can focus better on what you’re hearing. ANC filters low-pitched sound, but allows high-pitched sounds like human voices.
Note: If the microphone and its area (the outer microphone while wearing the earbuds) are covered completely, feedback may occur when launching the Active noise canceling feature.
Simple tap-and-hold controls
Users can reduce unnecessary disturbances while letting the important stuff through with single-touch controls. Simply touch and hold for a second. Then Active noise canceling will activate and blocks out the external sounds around you. If you want to deactivate the function, try once more to touch and hold your Galaxy Buds Live for a while again.
Note: To launch the feature with the earbuds, make sure that the preset touch-and-hold feature is set to active noise canceling, and then touch and hold the earbud.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 with One UI 6.1.1 software, introducing an impressive feature called Portrait Studio. This feature uses generative AI to transform normal photos into artistic portraits with just a few taps.
Portrait Studio of One UI 6.1.1 is accessible through Gallery and Contacts apps. It offers four different styles of portraits- Comic, 3D Character, Watercolor, and Sketch. Whether you prefer a comic-inspired look or a watercolor effect, there’s a style for every taste.
The process of using the Portrait Studio is very simple. First, select a portrait photo from your gallery, pick the desired style, and let the AI work its magic. Even if there are multiple people in the photo, you can select which individual you want the portrait created for.
The AI processing takes around 15 seconds to generate the portrait, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the result, you can easily create another version with the ‘Create Again’ button. Final Portraits can be saved through the photo editor or you can set directly it as a profile image for contacts.
The quality of the generated portrait improves with higher-resolution photos where the subject is visible and facing forward. Also, all portraits created using Portrait Studio contain a watermark in the bottom left corner to indicate their AI generation.
The good news is that Samsung plans to expand the availability of Portrait Studio beyond the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6.
