All The Latest Tech Unveiled At Samsung Unpacked 2024
The South Korean tech giant has revealed a new Galaxy Ring, two Galaxy Watches, and a new foldable smartphone.
Yesterday’s Samsung’s Unpacked event revealed several new devices from the South Korean tech powerhouse, including a new foldable, two smartwatches, and the company’s long-rumored Galaxy Ring.
Here are the standout details of some of those gadgets:
Samsung Galaxy Ring
Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Ring was revealed at the recent Unpacked event. As expected, it focuses heavily on health insights, most notably using AI to monitor sleep cycles. The lightweight ring is designed to be worn all the time and has a decent battery life of around a week.
You can pre-order the Galaxy Ring today, with full availability on July 24.
Pricing starts at $399.99.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is squarely aimed at Apple’s device of the same name. The new watch offers increased battery life, superior durability, and detailed fitness and health tracking. Interestingly, the device also has a sleep apnea sensor that detects mild-to-severe breathing issues during a user’s sleep.
Galaxy Watch Ultra pre-orders have already opened, with full availability on July 24.
Pricing starts at $649.99.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
Priced at $299.99, the new Galaxy Watch 7 is Samsung’s more affordable timepiece. Despite the lower price point, the smartwatch still features the AI-powered sleep tools featured in the Galaxy Ring. The Watch 7 can also take body composition snapshots and is said to feature a much more accurate GPS chip.
The Galaxy Watch 7 will be released alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra on July 24.
Pricing starts at $649.99.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Although Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event didn’t show off any new flagship smartphones, we did get a new foldable in the form of the Z Fold 6. Google Gemini AI is integrated into the phone, and can help with scheduling, task and travel planning, plus transcribe meeting notes.
As for hardware, the latest Fold is being treated to a minor update for 2024. The device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the chassis (and screen) are now a few millimeters shorter and wider. Other small tweaks include a new brushed metal finish and updated colorways, while the camera and battery remain the same as on the outgoing model.
Like the rest of Samsung’s new lineup, The Z Fold 6 is available for pre-order now, with general release on July 24 — though you’ll have to fork out a hefty $1,899.99!

1,000 Drones Light The Dubai Sky For AC Milan Celebration
Cyberdrone’s groundbreaking display marked 125 years of AC Milan football club and the 1st-year anniversary of Casa Milan Dubai.
Cyberdrone, a leading UAV display company based in Dubai, put on a breathtaking drone light show on Monday to honor two significant football milestones: AC Milan’s 125th anniversary and the one-year anniversary of Casa Milan Dubai.
The spectacle involved 1,000 drones working in perfect harmony to project AC Milan’s iconic imagery against the city’s night sky. Highlights included the UAVs synchronizing to form the club’s iconic crest, the signature red and black jersey, and a special emblem marking its 125th year. The intricate performance demanded meticulous planning, not just in terms of choreography, but also in dealing with the necessary permits and logistics.
“Our goal was to spotlight AC Milan’s legacy through a stunning visual narrative,” explained Mohamed Munjed Abdulla, Director of Sales at Cyberdrone. “We celebrated the club’s history, its Dubai milestone, and the universal love for football. The show also enhanced AC Milan’s regional presence, growing its fanbase through a cutting-edge, memorable experience. Drone shows are unparalleled in leaving lasting impressions, making them perfect for driving partnerships and growth”.

It gave us a unique opportunity to surprise and inspire audiences while elevating our Club’s visibility and that of our partners. Cyberdrone truly helped us take AC Milan to new heights”.
This groundbreaking drone display sets a new benchmark for the Middle East’s sports sector, which already contributes around $2.4 billion annually to Dubai’s GDP alone. Sporting events also generate $1.76 billion in revenues across the region, while the MENA’s entertainment sector, valued at $41.13 billion, is growing at 9.41% annually, driven by rapid technological advancements.
