Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 was announced today, and it’s basically everything we expected. It still has a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, and under-the-hood it has the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Samsung improved the cameras here, so we’re getting larger megapixels for brighter lenses and better pictures in low-light. Much like the Galaxy S22 announced earlier this year, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is also getting four years of OS updates and five years of security updates. Most importantly though, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a larger battery this year. It’s only 8% larger, jumping from 3400mAh to 3700mAh, but it is sorely needed. Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are now open, and if you pre-order, you’ll get double the storage for free, and a case. If you pre-order from Samsung’s website, you’ll get a $100 credit too.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
Despite many rumors about the price going up on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Samsung was able to keep it at the same price. It’s still $1,799, which is fairly expensive, but remember this is a phone and tablet in one. So the price is understandable. Samsung again, made lots of refinements on the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The hinge is smaller, and the cameras have been upgraded quite a bit. There’s now a main sensor of 50-megapixel. Which is bigger and brighter, allowing you to get even better images out of this sensor. Pre-orders are open for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and many carriers are offering up to $1,000 off with trade-in or a new line. Samsung is also doing the double the storage promo here, and you get a free case.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro were also announced at Unpacked today, as a follow up to the Galaxy Buds Pro that were released in January 2021. This year, the Buds 2 Pro feature ANC, and it can last about five hours on a charge, or you can turn it off and get about eight hours of continuous playback. Samsung made the Buds 2 Pro compatible with 24-bit HiFi sound. There’s also enhanced 360 audio with multi-channel support. Samsung has also added some new hearing modes. Like the Ambient Mode, which will use your Buds 2 Pro’s mics to let you hear the noise going on outside. It’s a great mode to have on if you need to talk to someone around you. Pre-orders are open for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro right now, they are priced at $229 but you can trade in your current buds and get up to $75 in credit towards your new Buds 2 Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series
The Galaxy Watch series gets even larger this year. We have the Galaxy Watch 5 which comes in 40mm and 44mm, but Samsung is also launching a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which is more of a rugged smartwatch from the company, and it’s massive at 45mm. The Galaxy Watch 5 series gets a much larger battery, about 15% across the board. Though the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro does get the biggest battery ever and can last around 80 hours on a charge. Samsung has added a skin sensor to the Galaxy Watch 5, which makes it the ultimate health device on your wrist. Now the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a rugged smartwatch from Samsung, and it’s made for runners. It’s almost a competitor to the Garmin watches. It also has a new route workout experience, which can give you directions with voice and vibrations. So you won’t get lost. The entire Galaxy Watch 5 series is up for pre-order now.
