As you might expect, it's a wearable focused on health. Notably, it has a strong focus on sleep, using an AI algorithm to help users better understand their sleep patterns. The idea is to have a wearable that you can actually wearall the time. Samsung promised a lightweight design and a battery life of up to seven days.
The Galaxy Ring, of course, is seemingly in direct competition with the already popular Oura Ring, which just launched an AI-powered advisor component to its product.
Galaxy Ring pre-orders start on Wednesday. It'll be widely available on July 24. Pricing starts at $399.99.

Samsung dropped its new, premium watch aimed at competing with the Apple Watch Ultra. Some of the promised upgrades include an increased battery life, extreme durability, and very detailed tracking of your workouts. Basically, if you're really into triathlons, or hiking/camping, or some other such activity, then it might just be the watch for you.
But the most striking new feature added to the Galaxy Watch Ultra is its new sleep apnea sensor, which detects whether you have mild-to-severe breathing issues while you sleep. It's FDA-authorized, too.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
OK, so if the Ultra is too much, maybe the Watch 7 would be just right for you. For one, pricing starts at $299.99. It promises lots of what we've come to expect from smart watches. It's added a few bells and whistles, including the aforementioned AI-powered sleep tool that comes with the Galaxy Ring. You can also use the Watch 7 to take a body composition snapshot, which feels odd to me but might be appealing to some folks out there. Samsung also promised the Watch 7 will run faster and have an even more accurate GPS feature.

What would a tech event be without phones? Chief among them is the Z Fold 6. Samsung promised that the phone would be fast and, yep, you guessed it, optimized for AI. The Google Gemini app is integrated into the phone, meaning it has a built-in AI assistant. The company noted that AI could help folks do things like plan travel or take detailed, transcribed notes of a meeting.
The phone itself, of course, folds as the name would suggest. Samsung announced that its latest offerings represent the slimmest and lightest Galaxy Z series yet. Despite this, the company has worked to create a more durable product. Additionally, Samsung highlighted the Galaxy Z Assurance program, which offers screen repair services for broken devices.
The Z Fold 6 is available for pre-order starting Wednesday, will be widely available July 24, and will start at $1,899.99. Not cheap!
