For the past few hours, all we’ve been talking about is Samsung’s Unpacked event, which took place on Wednesday, July 10. Among the various news provided by the South Korean brand, one related to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 stood out.
In addition to the cameras, one notable feature of Samsung’s foldable phone is the “Interpreter” mode. Basically, as the name suggests, this software has the ability to translate what is being said in real time.
Since it’s vacation time, pretend you’re going to spend a few days abroad. To avoid communication problems, simply record what you want to say, and the AI resource will do what the video below shows you.
AI translates what you say in real time and audibly.
As you may have noticed, almost immediately, the AI waits for you to finish speaking to relay what you said. This, in itself, is already an interesting feature, which is made even more attractive by the way it appears.
According to Tech Radar, different versions are appearing on the main and cover screens of smartphones. What does this mean? Basically, the foldable screen is divided into two parts: on one side of the hinge, your interactions, and on the other side, the interactions of the person you’re talking to.
If we look closely at the video, we can see that the translated text appears on the outer screen. Then, if the other person responds, we will already have the content on the inner screen, and so on.
This feature is not new to the Samsung ecosystem.
However, it is important to highlight that this is not a new feature, as the “instant translator” is present in the recent Galaxy S24. However, since it has a single screen, the way the tool works is more complex.
After all, you always have to flip the screen from one side to the other for interaction to be possible. With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, since there is no such problem, conversation is expected to be more fluid.
Either way, it’s important to know a thing or two before trying this feature. As the same source notes, it’s important to have Flex Mode enabled, otherwise the feature won’t work properly.
Another drawback to consider, according to Samsung itself, is the reliability of translations. It is expected that, in some situations, the cell phone will pick up what you say poorly, even due to pronunciation problems, perhaps.
