Your doodles may be looking better soon, with the help of Samsung.

At Samsung Unpacked 2024, the company revealed some major new products and features, including new Galaxy Buds 3 series, Z Flip 6, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Other AI updates were unveiled, into a sketch-to-image option which allows users to "create more sophisticated art pieces by generating image options."

Essentially, you can draw anything — crudely or not — and using Samsung's AI capabilities, the image will get a digital facelift and be made more realistic. Any sketch on the Gallery or Notes screen will work, likely better with the use of the S-pen.

"Galaxy AI understands what you're trying to draw and generates images in different styles for you to choose from," Samsung announced at the event.

According to Android Police, which tried the product, "Don't expect this feature to get it right every time."
