Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 get dual-screen translation mode: Leak


Samsung is putting a lot of emphasis on translation in its Galaxy AI suite, and it looks like the company is working on a new translation option to take advantage of both displays on its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. And, if it sounds familiar, that's because Google did it first on the Pixel Fold.

Last year on its Pixel Fold, Google introduced a new translation feature called “Interpreter Mode,” which allows users to translate text and voice via the main display and show the translation on the external display. In effect, users can have a proper two-way conversation without having to turn their phone around. It's a clever idea, and Samsung loves it.

In leaked marketing material published in a newsletter emailed by Evan Blass (@evleaks), we can see an update to Samsung's “Interpreter” mode that first debuted on the Galaxy S24 series. The update allows two-way conversations to be displayed on both the inner and outer displays of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, showing translations to the other user.

Samsung explains:

Are you traveling and want to talk to locals? Whether you want to speak your piece, listen to an international conference in a foreign language, or understand your tour guide: Interpreter translates in real time.

Samsung's materials and footnotes reveal that the feature only works in Flex Mode (unlike the Pixel, which only requires opening the device) and also specifically states that it only works in “Conversation Mode.”
