He predicted that, through the connected Galaxy ecosystem, AI would expand from smartphones to devices on the wrist and TVs in the living room, and eventually extend to AI glasses.
President Noh said, “With the addition of new AI glasses, Galaxy Agent-based AI will move across multiple devices alongside the user,” adding, “As new contexts are added at each touchpoint, the AI experience will become even more natural and seamless.”
Health management was also highlighted as a key pillar. The plan is to analyze sleep, recovery, stress, and activity levels through the latest Galaxy Watch series and Samsung Health, and provide personalized health information.
President Noh remarked, “The most meaningful change that Agentive AI may bring is helping us lead healthier lives,” adding, “We will provide more in-depth health information and personalized guidance to help users develop better lifestyle habits.”
He emphasized security and privacy as prerequisites for the widespread adoption of AI. President Noh said, “For AI to act on behalf of users, trust is essential above all else,” adding, “At SamsungElectronics, trust is a fundamental principle of design.”
He went on to mention the Samsung Knox security platform, on-device AI, the privacy engine, and the security and privacy dashboard, stating, “User data must always remain under the user’s control.”
Regarding the foldable smartphone—the flagship product of this Unpacked event—he described it as offering a variety of options for delivering personalized AI experiences to each user.
President Roh said, “If AI becomes more personalized, operates more proactively, and evolves into more diverse forms, we must ask what device can best deliver these experiences,” adding, “SamsungElectronics believes there is no single answer.”
He added, “Some users want a smartphone that fits neatly in their pocket, while others want a larger, more immersive screen where they can unleash their creativity,” noting, “The future of mobile will be shaped by experiences that follow users’ daily lives on the devices that best suit them.”
At this Unpacked event, SamsungElectronics unveiled its new foldable lineup, taking steps to strengthen its leadership in the foldable market.
President Noh said, “As the leader in the global foldable market, SamsungElectronics has advanced the foldable market with new innovations with each generation,” adding, “We have created foldables that are thinner, lighter, more durable, and more immersive.”
Regarding the new products, he emphasized, “They are the most powerful, versatile, and adaptable foldables SamsungElectronics has ever introduced,” adding, “They are designed to seamlessly integrate into users’ daily lives and deliver powerful performance capable of unlocking each user’s full potential.”
