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!
