Samsung Debuts Latest Galaxy Lineup in Paris: First Wellness Ring, AI-Powered Folding Phones, Olympian-Ready Smartwatches and More

Samsung Galaxy Ring

The Galaxy Ring ($399) monitors sleep, fitness, body temperature, heart and respiratory rate, stress, body composition and blood oxygen — all without a subscription. “Powered by AI, this is the pinnacle of unobstrusive technology,” per Samsung.

At just 0.1 ounce or under (depending on the size) and made of titanium, we noticed that the ring is even lighter and slimmer than competitor Oura’s device, something fitness and wellness enthusiasts will surely appreciate. We also like that it connects seamlessly to Samsung Galaxy devices and allows users to control their phones sans screen via Gestures: double pinch to dismiss alarms or take photos on connected Galaxy smartphones.

Available in three colors (gold, silver and black), the wearable integrates data into Samsung Health, allowing users to get AI-generated personalized tips based on their data. Get tailored advice on how to get more exercise and better sleep, or check your Energy Score (similar to the Oura’s Readiness score) to see how ready your body is to take on the day.

The battery can last up for up to seven days, and if you’re also wearing a Galaxy watch, your Samsung Health app will pull data from the best device to extend the ring’s battery life. The ring is available in sizes 5 to 13.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

Now bigger, brighter and more powerful, the larger 7.6-inch Z Fold6 boasts a more durable screen, upgraded AI and Circle to Search features, an improved camera system, ray tracing for a more vivid mobile gaming experience and more.

A new vapor chamber helps to keep the phone cooler for longer-lasting battery life, while the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 chip supports even more efficient multi-tasking. Samsung says that means a 46 percent improvement in the neural processing unit and an 18 percent boost in the CPU.

As far as the camera, the Z Fold6 includes a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 50MP wide-angle lens and a 10MP telephoto lens on the rear; a 10MP selfie camera on the cover; and a 4MP lens and 12MP ultra-wide lens under the display. Speaking of images and video, the AI-powered ProVisual Engine lets users edit their photos with pro-like effects, the Photo Studio offers creative portrait styles and Instant Slow-mo lets you instantly create slow-motion videos.

Available with 12GB memory and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB internal storage.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6

The new Galaxy Z Flip6 folding phone is equipped with an exterior 3.4-inch Super AMOLED
FlexWindow that “isn’t about just function, it’s also about self-expression — it’s a canvas to express your individuality,” according Samsung. You don’t need to open the phone to use Live Translate, reply to texts, control your music or get Samsung Health notifications (among other features), and the FlexWindow also offers more widgets and the option to create personalized, interactive and adaptive wallpaper with AI-generated effects.

The 6.7-inch main screen boasts 2650 x 1080 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and cameras include a 12MP ultra-wide and 50MP wide-angle lenses on the back and a 10MP selfie camera in front. On top of the added vapor chamber, under the hood there’s a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 12GB RAM and 256 to 512GB storage.

Samsung is offering free storage upgrade for a limited time, too.

Samsung Galaxy Watch7

Everyday fitness and wellness enthusiasts will love the Watch7’s new AI algorithm for tracking sleep, including the new De Novo FDA-approved sleep apnea detection. The smartwatch also delivers real-time analysis and alerts for irregular heart rhythms, electrocardiogram and more. The new device also features Samsung’s most powerful processor that promises three times the speed, 30 percent improved power efficiency and a more precise GPS system. Available in 40mm and 44mm and three different bands (athleisure, fabric and sports).

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Designed with a grade four titanium frame for “extreme durability” and 10ATM water resistance, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is clearly for athletes — even those with their eye on the Olympics and Paralympics. Track everything from swimming and cycling and running, including multi-course workouts (think: triathlon training), and enjoy up to 100 hours of battery life — the longest in Samsung’s smartwatch lineup. Wearers enjoy all of the same wellness and fitness features and sensors as the Watch7, too.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3

Featuring Adaptive EQ and active noise cancellation (ANC), the new Buds3 are also powered by Galaxy AI to make translation and communication across languages easier. When paired with the Galaxy Z Fold6 or Flip6, the Buds3 can listen and translate with the Interpreter feature.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro

Here to compete with Apple AirPods Pro are Samsung’s Galaxy Buds3 Pro, which boast a new blade design for “more intuitive physical experience by allowing you to control the device by simply pinching or swiping up or down” for volume control an more. New two-way speakers, dual amplifiers and an enhanced audio system lets you get clearer, more detailed sound.
