Samsung Expands with New Foldables, a Smart Ring and More

Samsung recently unveiled a suite of new products at an event in Paris, marking a significant expansion of their gadget and health ecosystems. 

Among the highlights are new foldable phones, an ultra version of their smartwatch, a smart ring, and updated earbuds.

The company’s latest offerings demonstrate a push towards integrating advanced AI tools alongside their hardware innovations, promising a robust user experience across their devices

.Lance Ulanoff from TechRadar remarked, “[They’re] getting closer to doing that thing that’s going to excite people about owning a whole bunch of Samsung devices.”Samsung’s updated lineup includes the Z Flip 6 and the Z Fold 6, each offering incremental improvements while also increasing prices by $100. 

The Z Flip now starts at $1100, and the Z Fold at $1900, prompting Ulanoff to comment, “If they want to expand the market, they got to make these things cheaper.

“Despite these advancements, consumer adoption of foldable phones remains cautious. As Parker Burton, an Android-focused content creator, noted, “For people who aren’t already Fold or Flip users, there’s got to be something big that people are like, oh yeah.”

One standout addition is the $650 Galaxy Watch Ultra, boasting a rugged design and extended battery life compared to previous models. 

Bob O’Donnell of TECHnalysis Research mentioned, “They added the Watch Ultra, which, yes, looks just like Apple’s Watch Ultra, but I wish they would have done a slightly different design.”
