Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 hands-on review: First impressions of all ... (Tom's Guide)

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 has a new skin-temperature reader, more scratch-resistant display and a longer-lasting battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 seems to introduce a respectable collection of incremental upgrades. I still need to wear the Galaxy Watch 5 overnight to gauge the coaching experience and general accuracy. But unlike the option between the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 vs. I look forward to putting the Galaxy Watch 5 through the same trials, so stay tuned. I’ll update this review as I get more experience with the Galaxy Watch 5. As you might recall, last year the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 offered an updated shape and feel compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic remains on sale as well. The most notable new internal Galaxy Watch 5 feature is the addition of a temperature analysis sensor, which appears to exist separately from Samsung’s 3-in-1 BioActive sensor. Speaking of health sensors, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 has a new one to offer — a skin-temperature reader. Though be sure to check out my hands-on Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro review. Otherwise, the watch is positioned to become the best Samsung watch for most people, and could even be the best smartwatch of the year. No, it’s not all that different from last year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, but the handful of upgrades have incremental, yet ample appeal.

Everything Samsung announced at the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 ... (Mashable)

Samsung pulled the curtain off new versions of the foldable Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold, as well as a couple of new wearables on Wednesday.

The battery can also last a whopping 80 hours on a full charge, so the Watch 5 Pro seems to be a useful companion for seriously outdoors-y types. There will, of course, be a good deal of synchronicity between your Samsung phone and your Galaxy Watch 5. Samsung didn’t go deep on what the potential uses of that would be, but of course app developers are free to come up with their own reasons to use it. However, this time's a little different, as this is the fourth round of foldables for Samsung with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4. Google Meet is one of the apps Samsung said is “fully optimized” for the Z Flip 4. When the phone is open and half-folded (“Flex Mode” as Samsung calls it), there will be app-specific controls on the bottom half of the screen. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor keeps it on par with recent powerhouses like the ASUS ROG Phone 6 and a 3,700mAh battery will power the phone. A 4,400mAh battery that supports wireless charging will do its best to keep the Z Fold 4 alive throughout the day and S-Pen support means you can doodle away with Samsung’s proprietary stylus (sold separately). Samsung said apps like Google Meet and Zoom have been specifically optimized for the Z Fold 4’s screen, too. First up is the biggest and most expensive device in the Galaxy Unpacked lineup, the new Z Fold 4, which comes in at the same $1,800 price point as last year's model. The most interesting changes for this year's Z Fold are on the software side of things. It has a gargantuan 7.6-inch foldable display on the inside and an outer display that allows you to use it more like a regular smartphone with the shell closed.

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro review (TechRadar)

Jump to: One-minute review; Price and availability; Design; Features; Battery life; Early Verdict. One-minute review.

The Watch 5 Pro offers a wide variety of health goodies, more so than the standard model. What that means in terms of the watch’s time between charges is around 80 hours, essentially double that of the Watch 5. But at a glance, it looks like the best fitness-orientated Wear OS watch yet, although it’s certainly not cheap. The watch comes with a smorgasbord of different face options, the familiar heart-shaped equivalent of the Apple Watch’s activity rings, and even the activity profiles offer small animations when selected, which is a lovely touch. Otherwise, the watch offers all the usual bells and whistles such as notification, call accepting/rejecting, and even automatic fall detection functionality. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a great looking device. Simply place your fingers to the buttons and start the feature on your phone, sending a current of electricity travelling through the body, moving at different speeds through fat, muscle, and bone. For example, the little stick-figure runs when the “running” profile is selected, and swims when you swipe over to the next activity format. The Watch 5 Pro can effectively join those ranks. Compared to $279.99 for the Bluetooth version of the standard Watch 5, and $329.99 for LTE, that’s quite a jump for the leap in design quality, bigger battery and enhanced GPS features. It’s a utilitarian piece of kit, and it looks sleek with the Black Titanium colorway watch we tested, but we anticipate leather bands for more social occasions are on their way in the near future. The Sapphire crystal glass and titanium casing is also said to be twice as durable as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, ensuring it’s equipped to take on an adventure.

Samsung's newest foldable phones are available now (NBC News)

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event revealed the brand's latest phones, watches and earbuds. The new products are available for pre-order now.

You can also pair the buds with your Samsung TV. Should you receive a call while watching Netflix, the buds can connect to your phone momentarily, then go back to your TV programming after the call finishes, according to Samsung. The buds are also 15% smaller than the last version and have a battery life of 5 hours with active noise cancellation on, or 8 hours of battery without. You can also purchase the Bespoke edition, which allows you to customize the colors for the body and frame. You can also take photos and film stories and reels hands-free with the FlexCam feature, which allows you to fold the phone to act as its own stand/tripod. The Z Flip 4 still offers an armor aluminum frame and has IPX8 water resistance. The newest phone in Samsung’s Z Flip line has a slimmer hinge than the previous model, the Z Flip 3, which means more space for a larger battery that can reach a 50% charge in 30 minutes, according to Samsung. The cover screen helps you take check your notifications and take selfies with the back camera, manage your smart home devices and even pay for items without unfolding your phone. Samsung notes they removed a metal layer from the screen and added fiber reinforcement to another layer to keep the new model lighter without sacrificing the screen’s durability. Compared to the Z Fold 3, the new Z Fold 4 has thinner bezels (the space between your screen and the outer edge of the phone), so it has a larger display without increasing the physical size of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro hands-on review: Outdoor-friendly ... (Tom's Guide)

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro caters to outdoor sports enthusiasts with a durable design, dedicated GPS features and an 80-hour battery life.

That’s about 30 more hours than the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and double the expectancy of the Galaxy Watch 4. Software-wise, it seems the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are pretty similar. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro claims up to 80 hours of battery life with 590mAh battery capacity. And for now, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is positioned to be one of the only Wear OS watches specifically suited for outdoor experiences. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is outfitted with GPX, which basically lets you share geographic information with others and keep a reliable track of your routes. As I did with the Garmin Instinct 2, one of the best Garmin watches, I’ll take the Watch 5 Pro hiking and outdoor biking. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is coming for Garmin watches — or, so it seems. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has both Samsung’s 3-in-1 BioActive sensor (heart rate, SpO2 and body composition via BIA) and the new temperature analysis sensor. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro comes in a formidable 45mm size, with a case that’s uniquely elevated around the display. It’s rated for 80 hours, which is nearly double that of the standard Galaxy Watch 5 and an impressive stamina upgrade compared to what we’ve seen from Samsung wearables in recent years. As for durability, the watch is water resistant up to 5ATM with a IP68 rating. But from our first impressions, it’s shaping up to be the best Samsung watch yet for hiking and other outdoor activities.

29 grams of plastics are used in the Galaxy Buds2 Pro in total, and it includes more than 27 grams recycled materials. 3More than 90% of all the plastic components of Galaxy Buds2 Pro, in weight, are made of recycled materials. The company estimates that this reduction in packaging volume equates to a reduction in carbon emissions from transportation of approximately 10,000 tons by the end of 2022.5 In addition to continually evolving packaging for flagship smartphones, Samsung will expand eco-conscious packaging to other product categories. Samsung has also reduced the volume of packaging for Galaxy Z Flip4 by 52.8% and for Galaxy Z Fold4 by 58.2% respectively compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. For the latest news, please visit the Samsung Newsroom at http://news.samsung.com. By repurposing abandoned fishing nets into a high-performance material for Galaxy technology, Samsung helps to minimize the effects of plastic pollution – 640,000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned and pollute the world’s oceans every year.1 Samsung will explore more ways to eliminate single-use plastics in packaging by assessing every aspect of its packaging designs, down to the smallest of details. This program has already upcycled hundreds of Galaxy devices and provided basic eye care for over 13,000 patients in Vietnam, Morocco, India and Papua New Guinea. More than ever, reducing e-waste is crucial to advancing a circular economy that preserves and repurposes the planet’s finite resources. This process requires complex engineering and technical skills to ensure the overall quality, safety and reliability of all new materials for Samsung’s innovative technologies. While repurposing materials into Galaxy devices presents many challenges, the benefits for the planet make it well worth the effort. We marry sustainability and innovation in everything we do,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “I am proud of our progress to date.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5: Everything New, From Better Battery to ... (CNET)

Samsung's newest watches, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, are arriving Aug. 26. They feature better battery life and skin temperature sensors, ...

The biggest difference with Samsung's newest watch this year is that it won't be the only Wear OS 3 watch around anymore. Temperature sensing has been a recent trend in wearables: Fitbit's watches have had it for a couple of years, Amazon's Halo bands have it, the Oura ring has it and Apple's next watch is reported to have it. The Watch 5 has a 410-mAh battery in the 44mm size, or 284 mAh in the smaller model. One thing that does appear to be gone, though, is that physical rotating bezel that was on the classic Watch 4 design. These watch faces and their colors will offer up most of the customized looks for most people, anyway. The bigger jump comes in the new Watch 5 Pro model, which has a huge 590-mAh battery. Samsung's Bluetooth-only Watch 5 will start at $280 (£269, AU$495), with the LTE version starting at $330. But the bigger-battery titanium-cased Pro model starts at $450 (£394, AU$725), or $500 for the LTE version. The previous Watch 4 had a 361-mAh battery for the 44mm size, or 247 mAh for the 40mm version. Meanwhile, Samsung's new watches are promising longer battery life over last year, a skin temperature sensor and a supposedly more durable sapphire crystal for the watch face instead of Gorilla Glass. The Pro model's extra-beefy battery promises days-long wear between charges, a trend that Apple's reported to follow on its next watch this fall. Is the Watch 5 worth getting? Google has the Pixel Watch arriving this fall, promising a blend of Fitbit and Google automatic smarts and design. This time it's coming with a bigger Pro model to go with it, with both models set for an Aug. 26 release alongside the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Fold 4 and Flip 4.

In a blog post, Samsung President TM Roh said, “Foldable users have enthusiastically embraced what we have created. It’s no secret that Samsung is essentially the undisputed king of the burgeoning foldable screen device realm.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 vs. Z Fold 3 comparison: what's the ... (The Verge)

Samsung's new ultra-flagship foldable phone is real and coming very soon. But how does the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 stack up to the outgoing Z Fold 3?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 S Pen Fold Edition S Pen Fold Edition All of these changes to the Z Fold 4 still come at the same price as the outgoing model, meaning it starts at $1,799.99 with 256GB of storage. The Z Fold 4, much like the S22 generation, offers numerous small improvements that iterate upon the last model. That said, the new Z Fold 4 maintains a lot of the improvements of last year’s Fold 3, like that IPX8 resistance, a 7.6-inch folding OLED, and a skinny yet usable outside cover screen — which are now cheaper to repair in the event of an accident. Last year’s Z Fold 3 helped break new ground in terms of folding phone normalcy with features like water resistance, which still pales in comparison to traditional slab phones. After seeing incremental changes and updates to the Galaxy S22 line in February, it’s now the ultra-flagship Galaxy Z Fold’s turn. Here, we’re comparing them spec for spec to see just how different Samsung’s upcoming Fold is.

Samsung's social campaign 'reveals' its new foldable Galaxy ... (The Drum)

The electronics giant is bringing flip phones back into the fold with a social media campaign that showcases its new foldable smartphones.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 starts at $999.99 and the Galaxy Z Fold4 will start at $1,799.99. Tennis legend Serena Williams recently announced her retirement in an op-ed for Vogue – an announcement from the 40-year-old that was both shocking and inevitable. Think taking hands-free selfies in the middle of a difficult yoga pose, or mid-jump into a pool with friends. The new round of creative, which was launched yesterday, shows the many, if somewhat uncanny, ways the phones can be used. This tactic was used to provoke interest in the new devices. The first round, launched in late July, is designed to compel consumers to preorder the smartphones.

Lee Jae-yong: Why South Korea just pardoned the Samsung 'prince' (BBC News)

Lee Jae-yong, who was convicted for bribery and embezzlement, has been granted a presidential pardon.

Prof Lee was at the 2016 protests and says most of the anger was directed at President Park's personal actions. And Koreans have lived with this myth for so many decades, it's really hard for ordinary citizens to break out of it," says Prof Lee. The desire to tackle corruption and chaebol influence remains, experts say. A recent public poll recorded 70% support for the pardon. But he didn't serve a single day of jail time. Reform advocates say South Korea also needs to end its dependence on chaebols, where growth has been slowing for years. A new president, Moon Jae-in swept into office with a mandate to clean up the mess. Clemency means he will be able to fully resume his executive responsibilities. "It is a setback. LG, Hyundai, Lotte, and SK are among them. But he failed to make much headway. And those tentacles have long wormed their way into the highest levels of Korean politics.

He had a year left on his 30-month sentence when he was freed on parole in August last year by Moon’s government, which then defended its decision on unspecified concerns related to the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics say Lee has always been in control of Samsung, even when he was behind bars, and pretty much fully resumed his management duties following his parole. The pardon of Lee underscores Samsung’s huge influence over a country that relies on its technology exports.

Samsung pardon exposes Koreans' love-hate feelings for tycoons (Aljazeera.com)

Lee Jae-yong is the latest in a long list of South Korean business elites to receive clemency after white-collar crimes.

In pardoning Lee, Yoon, a career prosecutor, may have been trying to create positive economic momentum, however moderate. With Lee now a free man, South Koreans are waiting to see if there will be any economic windfall. “Since Samsung’s main businesses, such as semiconductors, require huge and risky investments, timely decisions by the top leader are important,” said Kim, the professor. The optics of the visit were key for Lee, who, like many South Korean business tycoons, has a chequered past. Lee served 19 months in prison before being paroled last year. Lee’s pardon was not unexpected.
