Commentary: Samsung touts its AI features as transformative to your mobile experience. How come my experience feels pretty much the same?

The newly-announced Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 come with six months free, and clearly Google is hoping that by the time that free period is up, you won't be able to live without all the AI goodness you get with a subscription.

Samsung's Galaxy AI shows strong adoption, with 70% of Galaxy S25 users actively leveraging its features. More details here.

Google also announced that, starting with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, you’ll be able to long-press the power button and have Gemini take a gander at your screen while you’re scrolling. With live access to what you’re looking at, you can ask Gemini for help on stuff like product comparisons. Per Google:

Samsung and Google's partnership is still going strong, bringing Gemini AI features to Samsung's foldables lineup. At Samsung Unpacked, Google's senior VP of devices and services Rick Osterloh came onstage to announce Gemini-powered AI features for the new Samsung Z Fold 7.

Samsung confirms core Galaxy AI features will remain free indefinitely. However, there are others you'll have to pay for.

Samsung confirms it won't charge for its Galaxy AI tools, even as it rolls out major improvements with its latest foldables.

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI normally cost $250, but you can snag a pair for $149.72. It's worth noting that Apple's AirPods Pro 2, which also normally sell for $249, are discounted to $149 alongside best-ever deals on both models of AirPods 4, Apple's newest Bluetooth earbuds.

CNBC’s Steve Kovach joins 'The Exchange' to discuss the latest product unveiling from Samsung that feature its latest AI features.
