Samsung launches two new foldables

Samsung's Unpacked event showcased the brand's latest innovations that will shape the rest of the year. The South Korean tech giant had promised many new features and did not disappoint fans: in addition to new solutions for the "wearables" market, Samsung also unveiled two new foldables.

At the event held this Wednesday, August 10th, highlights included the Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Foldables with significant improvements

Let's start with the most anticipated models. Samsung's two new foldables arrive packed with innovations.

The more affordable model of the pair, the Galaxy Z Flip 4, stands out for its secondary screen having more usable area for notifications and other functionalities, compared to the model launched in 2021. It comes in different colors, offering soft tones, such as violet.

Regarding the Galaxy Z Fold 4, fans will find all the qualities they have grown accustomed to in this line, but with some important improvements: a new more durable hinge that makes the phone lighter, more durable battery in the "upper half" of the phone, and a 1.9-inch external display with AMOLED 2X and more functionalities that make it unnecessary to open the phone as often to access notifications.

New features also in the Galaxy Watch

If you're a fan of smartwatches, Samsung has also unveiled new models for you: the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

The South Korean manufacturer guarantees that the new smartwatches are equipped with sensors that allow for in-depth monitoring of vital signs, with the BioActive sensor (already introduced in the previous model) standing out, which includes a chip with three health sensors: optical heart rate, electrocardiogram, and bioelectrical impedance analysis. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro also features a longer-lasting battery and new materials, such as titanium, which makes the watch more resistant.

Another major innovation was the new wireless headphones, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. In addition to 24-bit Hi-Fi audio, they also include noise cancellation technology. In terms of design, they are characterized by a reduced size and a more ergonomic model compared to previous ones.

Samsung's new releases are already available for pre-order and are expected to hit the market on August 26th.
