Plus, the screen is a smidge bigger at 8 inches, up from 7.6 inches.The Fold 7 also features multimodal AI, which assists with tasks such as optimizing the main screen's layout and dragging AI creations between apps.However, it does offer the same 4,400 mAh battery as its predecessor, although Samsung claims it should still provide slightly better battery life.

It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip.The new smartphone comes in three colors: Blue Shadow, Jet Black and Silver Shadow.Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 also come in Mint exclusively on Samsung's website.

Plus, there's a range of storage options, like 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.$2,000 at SamsungSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 7The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has the thinnest bezel of any Galaxy smartphone at 1.25mm.It also has a larger 4.1-inch external display than the 3.4-inch one on the Flip 6.  It has quite a few updates from the Flip 6, including a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nit peak brightness, up from 60Hz and 1,600 nits.

The Flip 7's main screen has increased in size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches, and its cover display has expanded from 3.4 inches to 4.1 inches.Plus, Gemini, the Now bar and Now Brief all work on the Flex Window.Its battery did improve, increasing from 4,000mAh to 4,300mAh.

Unlike the Fold, it's only available in 256GB or 512GB options for a starting price of $1,100.$1,100 at SamsungSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Samsung skipped the Classic model last year, releasing just the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra.This means the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a two-generation jump, so it comes with high expectations.

It has the hallmark rotating bezel of the company's Classic smartwatch line, and runs Wear OS 6 with Gemini support out of the box.  Let's look at the basics.The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic comes in two standard colors, white and black.It's available in a single 46mm size with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for $500 and with LTE for $550.

That's a significant price hike from 2023's Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, which started at $400.$500 at SamsungSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung Galaxy Watch 8Like the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, the Galaxy Watch 8 also comes with a price hike, albeit a smaller one.The 40mm Wi-Fi model starts at $350, compared to the $300 of the previous two models.

The Galaxy Watch 8 is also available as a 44mm Bluetooth and Wi-Fi model for $380.The LTE versions go for $400 for the 40mm or $430 for the 44mm.The watch comes in Granite or Silver, arguably just a sleeker Black or White.

This version of the Galaxy Watch 8 is the slimmest yet, and comes with a new "dynamic lug" strap swapping system.Your old watch bands won't be compatible, so you might need to invest in some if you buy the Watch 8.In exchange, you'll get new features like an antioxidant index test that uses the heart rate sensor on the Galaxy Watch 8, plus Wear OS 6, Gemini support, running guidance, sleep coaching and vascular load insights.

The Watch 8's display is also brighter than the Watch 7, with a bigger battery, too.$350 at SamsungSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FEThe Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, or fan edition, is Samsung's first foldable FE phone.It's the cheapest of the three foldables launched today, starting at $900 for the entry-level 128GB model.

It's also a more classic look, coming only in black or white.It's basically last year's Galaxy Z Flip 6, down to its dimensions, cameras, screen and battery size, except with an Exynos 2400 processor.And it's $200 cheaper at launch.

While the Z Flip 6 is available on sale, it's a better deal than the Z Flip 7 FE.But when you consider that the Flip 7 FE may go for much less when Samsung offers discounts, it does seem to be a budget-friendlier option for those looking to wade into the foldable pool.$900 at SamsungSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung Galaxy Watch UltraThe 2024 Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event saw the company introduce its own Ultra Watch, blatantly taking the name and certain features from Apple.

At Unpacked 2025, Samsung quietly released a new version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra.It's not much different from the original, and is largely the same other than coming in a Titanium Blue color option and offering expanded storage of up to 64GB.It also uses the new "dynamic lug" strap system that Samsung introduced with the Watch 8 series this year.  $650 at Samsung
