Samsung teases AI-powered camera system for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra smartphone

Samsung Electronics is redefining the role of smartphone cameras with its latest innovation — an AI-powered imaging system that doesn’t just capture what users see but understands and responds to it. This marks a shift from traditional photography to intelligent interaction, as the camera evolves into a core part of the user interface on Galaxy devices.

The new camera experience integrates advanced AI with Galaxy’s hardware and software, enabling the phone to interpret visual information in real time. This transformation allows users to not only take high-quality photos but also interact with their environment in smarter ways — whether identifying objects, enhancing photos on the fly, or offering contextual suggestions based on the scene.

Samsung says this “holistic system” approach combines AI with high-end camera sensors and processing, forming a tight integration that drives both performance and contextual intelligence. As AI becomes increasingly multimodal, moving beyond text and into visual understanding — Galaxy smartphones are designed to lead the shift.

When paired with the large, flexible screens of the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold models, this innovation becomes even more impactful. Users can preview, edit, or engage with content more dynamically, enhancing the overall user experience across photography, productivity, and entertainment.

Samsung also emphasised its continued focus on user privacy, stating that all AI-powered features and visual recognition tools are underpinned by strong privacy protections built into every layer of the device.

While details about specific models or rollout timelines were not disclosed, the announcement hints at more camera innovations in upcoming Galaxy Z series devices. With the Galaxy camera becoming more responsive, intuitive, and secure, Samsung appears set to further consolidate its leadership in mobile imaging.

As the company puts it, “The Ultra experience is ready to unfold” — a clear signal that the next wave of Galaxy innovations will be as much about smart functionality as about powerful hardware.
