TL;DR Gemini Intelligence could debut with One UI 9 on Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, bringing deeper AI-powered automation to foldable devices.
Gemini will handle complete workflows across apps and Chrome.
Gemini Intelligence is currently missing from the One UI 9 beta for Galaxy S26 testers, suggesting Samsung may roll out the feature directly with the stable version later this year.
Google Gemini is slowly turning into something far bigger than just a chatbot on Android phones. Instead of only answering questions or generating text, Gemini Intelligence is evolving into a system-level assistant that can actually do things for you across apps and services. And if a fresh report (via Sedaily) is accurate, Samsung’s next-generation foldables could become the perfect playground for it.
According to the report, Gemini Intelligence is expected to arrive with One UI 9. That means Samsung’s upcoming foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8, could be among the first devices to properly showcase these AI-powered features. That part is not exactly surprising. Samsung and Google have been closely tied together for AI features ever since the Galaxy AI push began. Google has also already confirmed that Samsung and Pixel phones will be the first to get Gemini Intelligence.
The agentic AI is designed to automate actions across apps, including Chrome. So instead of manually jumping between apps yourself, Gemini will handle entire tasks in the background.

It sounds incredibly convenient, and honestly, foldables might be where this starts making real sense.
