3 Google updates from Galaxy Unpacked 2026

At Galaxy Unpacked, we shared how Samsung users can boost productivity and get time back on new foldables, watches, and glasses coming soon. Google launched the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 series featuring Gemini Intelligence to automate daily tasks across 40 popular apps.

You can now use Gemini Notebook on these devices to synthesize complex research and create custom resources like slide decks or podcasts. To get started, take advantage of the included six-month trial of Google AI Pro and explore new Gemini integrations for your Galaxy Watch and upcoming intelligent eyewear. Google just launched new Samsung phones that use AI to handle boring chores like ordering food or booking tickets. You can also use a new tool called Gemini Notebook to help you research projects and turn your notes into quizzes or videos. Plus, they’re bringing AI to smartwatches and glasses so you can get help without even touching your phone. These updates are all about making your tech work harder for you. Today at Galaxy Unpacked in London, we celebrated the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8. With these devices, we are making it easier than ever to get started on Android while also rolling out the first capabilities of Gemini Intelligence 1 — our vision for technology that works proactively for you. Whether you choose to unfold your phone to maximize your productivity on a bigger screen or keep it folded so you can focus on your day, Gemini Intelligence is there to help with the heavy lifting. Here is a look at three updates coming to the newest devices. 1. Get next-generation task automation with Gemini Intelligence. Gemini Intelligence can help you offload digital chores so you can spend less time behind a screen. Back in February, we introduced a beta for task automation, helping you delegate simple everyday tasks to Gemini, such as ordering a rideshare or getting your favorite takeout meal for delivery. Now task automation is expanding support from a handful of apps to more than 40 popular apps.
