New features include 'My FanCam,' which automatically tracks specific individuals in videos and centers them on the screen, and a 'Warranty and Care' menu that integrates device warranty checks, self-diagnosis, estimated repair costs, Samsung Care+ management, and service center reservations.

Existing features have also been significantly improved. The 'Now Brief' function now allows users to create personalized briefing cards.

The 'Interpretation' feature has been upgraded with a 'Thread View' to track conversation flow, and translation speed has been enhanced. The 'Scan' function now includes improved document correction for curved pages and a finger eraser feature. The 'Voice Recording' function organizes summaries into structured formats, including titles and table layouts.

Security measures have also been significantly strengthened. A new 'Security Brief' summarizes security issues, and an on-device AI-based 'Privacy Protection Notification' has been added. The number of countries supported for 'Voice Phishing Alert' notifications has increased. In South Korea, a new technology has been implemented to detect AI-modulated voices in calls, providing real-time pop-ups and alerts to block potential voice phishing attempts.
