Samsung is going all in with generative AI. The latest launch of the Galaxy S24 series saw Samsung introduce a set of new AI features which were later rolled out to older smartphones as well.

These are certainly not the same kind of AI features that smartphones have received, where we have features such as live translation and some photo editing features, but they will certainly come in handy if you happen to use Samsung's health features a lot, as they merge seamlessly into the health features you already have.

This will offer a more in-depth analysis of sleep quality and help users build better sleep habits. For fitness enthusiasts, the Galaxy Watch will introduce new features like personalized heart rate zones for running and cycling, as well as a 10-minute Functional Threshold Power (FTP) test for cyclists. The watch will also offer a "Workout Routine" feature for creating personalized workouts and a "Race" feature to track progress and compare performance on the same routes.

These new features will be available on the next Galaxy Watch lineup through One UI 6 Watch, with a limited beta program starting in
