At the Unpacked presentation in London, Samsung officially unveiled an updated line of mobile devices, including three folding smartphones and two smartwatch models. The key design innovation was the Flex Titanium technology, which involves the use of a titanium alloy layer under a flexible OLED display. According to the manufacturer, this solution increases the structural integrity of the screen, effectively dampens mechanical loads and makes the fold line less noticeable. All the smartphones presented are based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, offering a basic configuration with 12 gigabytes of RAM and a storage capacity of up to 512 gigabytes, while the flagship versions support up to 16 gigabytes of RAM and 1 terabyte of internal memory.

The flagship of the line was the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which became the thinnest device in the history of the series with a thickness of only 4.1 millimeters when unfolded. It features 6.5-inch external and 8-inch internal displays, as well as a main camera with a 200-megapixel sensor. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 model has received a new form factor with a wider body and a 4:3 aspect ratio of the internal screen, which is optimized for comfortable consumption of multimedia content. The classic clamshell is the Galaxy Z Flip 8 with a 6.9-inch 120 Hertz internal display and a 4,300 milliamp-hour battery. The company noted that the increase in starting prices is due to an increase in the cost of memory components in the global market.

The Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor with a dedicated neuroprocessor for local processing of artificial intelligence algorithms, debuted in the segment of wearable electronics. The older model of the watch is characterized by increased brightness of the display and increased battery capacity. Additionally, Samsung announced an update to smart glasses developed in collaboration with technology and fashion partners, which have a battery life of up to nine hours. The software ecosystem of the devices has been expanded by integrating functions based on the Gemini platform, which provides automation of tasks in dozens of applications, and the Galaxy Card branded payment card has also been introduced, offering users increased cashback when purchasing brand gadgets.
