The Samsung Unpacked 2024 event took place in Paris, and boy, do they have some tricks up their sleeve.

From foldable phones to smart rings (which we unfortunately won’t get in SA), the Korean tech giant is going all-in on AI and health tracking.

If you missed it, watch the live stream here.

Let’s break down the highlights, shall we?

Foldables get a facelift

The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are here, and they’re slimmer and smarter than ever. The Fold6 starts at a cool R43,999, while the Flip6 will set you back R25,999.

But here’s the kicker – they’re both packed with AI features that’ll make your head spin.

Think instant translations, smart photo editing, and AI-generated wallpapers.

AI takes center stage

Remember when AI was just a buzzword? Well, Samsung’s making it a reality.

They’re bringing Galaxy AI to a whopping 200 million devices this year.

That’s not just fancy talk – we’re talking real-world applications like real-time translations and smart photo editing.

A ring to rule them all

Samsung’s jumping into the smart ring game with the Galaxy Ring.

This titanium beauty can track everything from your heart rate to your sleep patterns.

The bad news? It’s not coming to South Africa just yet. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right?

Watches that watch out for you

The Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra are here to keep you healthy and connected.

The Ultra is built for the adventure junkies, with 100 hours of battery life and water resistance up to 100 meters. Starting at R19,999, it’s not cheap, but can you really put a price on health?

The Watch7, starting at R6,999, is more for the everyday user but still packs a punch with features like sleep apnea detection.

Buds unveiled at Samsung Unpacked 2024

The new Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro aren’t just for music anymore.

Pair them with a Flip6 or Fold6, and you’ve got a personal translator in your ear.

Starting at R3,999 for the Buds3 and R4,999 for the Pro version, they’re bringing sci-fi to real life.

Samsung Unpacked vision

Samsung’s not just selling gadgets anymore – they’re selling a vision of a smarter, healthier future.

With AI at the forefront and health tracking close behind, they’re betting big on tech that doesn’t just connect us but understands us.

It’s a bold move, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Samsung.

So, are you ready to join the AI revolution?

Samsung sure hopes so.
