Samsung Unboxing New Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Watch Ultra

Samsung is back with its annual Unpacked summer event, and while the tech giant's foldable smartphones were the headliners, new accessories may have stolen the show.

Samsung continues to reinforce that it's all in for the foldable smartphone and claims to be the leader in the technology, and based on the reception to its foldable devices, you'd be hard-pressed to disagree.

Today at the Samsung Unpacked event, the company officially unveiled the new Galaxy Ring, which we honestly think was the biggest announcement yet, the Galaxy Watch 7 and the new Galaxy Watch Ultra offering, the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, which feature a new design , and, of course, the Galaxy Z Flip6 and X Fold6 smartphones.

Let us break it all down for you.

Due to the pandemic, continuous health monitoring has become an even more critical feature of wearable devices. However, sometimes you don't want to wear your Galaxy Watch to sleep or everywhere.

With that in mind, Samsung has finally unveiled its wearable Galaxy Ring, pitting it against other smart rings like the Oura.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is expressly built to work on the Samsung ecosystem of devices through the Samsung Health app without paying for a subscription.

The Galaxy Ring offers users fitness tracking, menstrual cycle tracking, sleep tracking and more while being less intrusive than the Galaxy Watch.

It will be available in three color options: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold. It costs $399, can be pre-ordered now and will ship on July 24th.

We fully expect the Galaxy Ring to be a popular Samsung device.

Galaxy Buds3 Pro gets a new design

The Galaxy Buds have always been one of our favorite headphones because of their design, which makes them less noticeable.

For the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, Samsung decided to change things up drastically with a new stem design, which the company claims gives the user a more comfortable fit.

Buds3 and Buds3 Pro have a new pinch function to play/pause music. Pinch or slide your fingers along the stems adjusts the volume and is customizable.

Three well-placed microphones help better capture your voice and analyze ambient noise to help improve noise cancellation.

Buds3 Pro owners get features like improved voice recognition and adaptive noise control. Buds3 Pro can even detect when you're talking or when an emergency siren is going off in the area.

AI features include an interpreter, which allows for real-time foreign language translation or voice commands.

What separates the buds is that the Buds3 Pro are in-canal headphones, while the Buds3 are more open and don't create a seal in your ear, allowing outside noise to seep through.

Buds3 Pro does the opposite, providing the user with better isolation.

The Buds3 ($180) and Buds3 Pro ($250) are available for pre-order and will ship on July 24.

Samsung goes Utlra with its smartwatch for the first time. The Galaxy Watch Ultra replaces the pro model and is much larger and more durable than the Galaxy Watch 7.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in one size, has three buttons and a 1.5-inch screen. It has a water resistance of 10ATM, allowing it to withstand depths of up to 100 meters, and a titanium construction.

The software is enhanced with a new Multi-Sports tile that tracks multi-course workouts.

The bigger size also means a bigger battery than Samsung promises users will get up to 100 hours in power saving mode and 48 hours in power saving during exercise.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra costs $650, is available for pre-order and ships on July 24.

Finally, it's time to discuss the Galaxy Z Fold6 and ZFlip6. Both models don't feature extreme design changes, but do feature some substantial upgrades.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is lighter and thinner than the previous model. The external screen is slightly larger, coming in at 6.3 inches, and the rounded corners have been warped for more squared-off corners.

The internal screen remains the same size but is much brighter, reaching 2,600 nits. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the new chipset under the hood powering the phone and a larger vapor chamber allows for better cooling.

Samsung also included AI features to make the Z Fold6 an even more powerful tool, including the addition of the Google Gemini app as an AI assistant.
