Samsung just announced the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable smartphones, two new smartwatches and a new high-end pair of wireless earbuds.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is the company's new and most high-end pair of wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro starts at $450 and $500 for the LTE model, and is only available in a 45mm size. First, there's the Galaxy Watch5, which is an improved version of last year's Galaxy Watch 4. The Galaxy Watch 5 starts at $280, or $330 for the LTE model, and will be available in either 40mm or 44mm sizes. Multitasking is even more streamlined thanks to more apps supporting it and a new Taskbar layout, which makes the experience (when fully opened) very PC-like. Like before, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 supports wireless charging and works with the S Pen stylus. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the first device to ship with Android 12L, which is "a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences."

As such, my wish list for the Z Flip 4 (and I naturally speak for all phone users), is a thinner phone with improved camera system and larger battery. So if Samsung can really deliver the Pro-grade tech in the Buds 2 Pro, that will be a step in the right direction. Indeed, it was only with last year'sSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (and almost more importantly, with its Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3) that the South Korean maker's foldable phones really took off. However, it's battery life and camera system is not up to the standards of the best non-folding phones, so a bump in battery capacity and camera quality would be superb. Regular readers of T3.com will know that I'm a big fan of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 phone. It's like having two phones glued back to back in your pocket instead of one, so if the Fold 4 can be thinner and lighter, that would be a big improvement. Indeed, the idea of having a phone and tablet in one device really appeals to me. The Galaxy Watch 5 will apparently come in two sizes, a 40mm variant and a 44mm model. To make the Fold 4 lighter the display has been redesigned, and a metal layer has been removed. This is the news I know a lot of you have been waiting for. He seems to be highlighting that you can hold the Galaxy Z Flip 4 in different ways to standard phones. We get a feely goody story about Samsung engineers pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Here's everything that was launched at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event - and there's a lot.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro - This is the big one for me - no idea on price, but with a whopping battery and likely better GPS skills, I think this will be the one to watch out for. Now, you could easily think that means the new Watch 5 is going to have enhanced fitness elements, or a slightly bigger bezel or something. Sorry - back to the video - 90% of the Galaxy devices have some element of recycled materials... However, it's likely that the display on the 5 Pro will be far more power hungry, so let's not expect miracles here. Samsung is whipping through all the features - being able to use tabs more efficiently on a mobile (as in, you can 'compare prices' easily... Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 - This one is set to cost around $349 / £349 / $549 if our estimates are right. all of this was leaked in the build up. The Watch 5 Pro has a new, turn-by-turn directions through voice and vibrations. The screen is also sapphire, coming in two colors, black and gray. It's thinner, lighter, and has a larger cover screen that can all but make you forget about the giant foldable inside. I feel like I got to see all the products, but nothing was really explained in depth. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, release date, price and features - as we've not been able to put these cute little earbuds through our proper audio testing, we've not given them a proper hands on review.
