Quick answer
Samsung has integrated Galaxy S26 AI features into the Galaxy Z Fold 7 via One UI 8.5, including Priority Notifications for prioritizing alerts and Files Summaries for automated document summarization.
Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 8.5 firmware update for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable smartphone. The headline additions are two AI-powered features previously exclusive to the Galaxy S26 lineup: Priority Notifications and Files Summaries.
Priority Notifications analyzes the notification stream and highlights the most critical alerts, placing them at the top of the list. This helps users avoid missing important messages amid less relevant notifications. Files Summaries, on the other hand, automatically generates concise summaries for PDFs, text documents, and other files, simplifying organization and search.
As of now, the update is available to users in South Korea. Given the rollout pace of previous One UI updates, a global release is expected within weeks. However, early adopters have reported some issues, including unstable video calls and other bugs.
Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing the next major update—One UI 9—which is expected to bring multi-window browser support, a network speed indicator, and other enhancements to the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
