Robust Security and System Enhancements
Beyond individual feature improvements, the update includes critical security and stability patches:

This can encompass many aspects of the phone’s operation, from app launching speed to background processes.
AI-Powered Translation Features
A major addition to this update is the integration of several new features built around real-time AI translation:
- Live Translation: This allows for real-time translation of spoken conversations, making communication across language barriers much easier. You can hear translations instantly, making it straightforward to understand and respond in a different language.
- Face-to-Face Translation: This feature particularly enhances the live translation by enabling split-screen translation of each speaker in a conversation. This is exceptionally helpful in one-on-one interactions and keeps track of who is saying what, aiding in clarity and understanding.
- Headphone Support for Translation: This update allows you to hear translations played through your connected headphones, enhancing privacy or offering a personalized audio experience. The feature is particularly useful in noisy environments or if you prefer a more discreet translation method.
- Advanced Headphone Integration: For select headphone models, a tap on the headphones can initiate face-to-face translation with the translated output being split between the phone’s speaker and the headphones themselves. This intelligent functionality optimizes for convenience and flexibility.
