Samsung explores innovative AI summarization tech for Galaxy Z Flip 6
Samsung has recently disclosed a new patent on AI document summarization technology, which is expected to be applied to new products such as the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The sixth-generation foldables are on their way and it seems like the devices will be equipped with cutting-edge functionalities.
Going toward more details, Samsung Electronics applied for this innovative patent on February 29 with the title ‘Electronic device for providing summary information using artificial intelligence learning model and its control method’.
This newly explored innovation or the patent is a technology that works, when a search term is entered into an electronic device, AI analyzes it, shows several related documents, identifies the user’s interests or political inclinations, and then provides a customized summary.
Furthermore, Samsung Electronics is expected to apply the technology to its self-generated AI, ‘Samsung Gauss, which is applied to the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy Book 4 series. Therefore, new AI functions are expected to be added to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 through the new version of Samsung Gauss.

The sixth generation foldable devices including Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip are already tipped to come with Galaxy S24 Series-like Galaxy AI capabilities. And the inclusion of this innovative AI summarization tech will further make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 a more advanced and refined device.
Last but not least, Samsung Electronics also provided an interesting example where AI can summarize articles. If a user enters an article on the topic of “Agenda for the South Korea-U.S. Summit,” and commands “summarize it shortly and neutrally,” AI would summarize keywords such as ‘North Korea, nuclear, missile, South Korea-U.S. military exercises,’ and if the command is to “summarize it long and negatively,” AI would summarize the article to say, “Disagreements between South Korea and the United States on North Korean solutions could cast a shadow on the upcoming South Korea-U.S. summit.”
