Samsung has introduced its latest Galaxy wearables and foldable phones at the recent Unpacked event in Paris, featuring the new Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Here’s everything you need to know about all the latest products, including its innovations in artificial intelligence.
Samsung Galaxy RingAfter months of anticipation since its teaser in January, the Samsung Galaxy Ring was officially revealed. The device has three sensors that monitor various aspects of its user’s health, such as sleep, heart rate, and activity levels. Unlike the Oura Ring, it offers personalized insights without needing a subscription. The ring is designed to continuously sync with Samsung Health.
Samsung is using its Galaxy AI to analyze the data collected by the ring. This then gives an “Energy Score” and a “Sleep Score,” which assesses the quality of sleep. The wearer will receive wellness tips tailored to their specific health goals. In the event, they stated that it was the “pinnacle of unobtrusive health technology.”

The Galaxy Ring also introduces practical functionality with its double pinch gestures, so users can remotely take photos, snooze alarms, or stop them entirely. It also provides inactivity alerts, similar to those found on smartwatches, so it will tell people to move if they have been inactive for too long. Although it is compatible with any Android 11 phone, it works best with Samsung Galaxy devices.
Samsung Galaxy Ring costs $399 and doesn’t come with any subscriptions. Zing! Wonder who Samsung was throwing shade at
