The Galaxy Z Flip 6, the most compact model with a clamshell design, should receive a significant upgrade in its battery capacity, one of the points that received the most criticism in previous generations.

The ring-shaped wearable device is designed to be a more discreet alternative to smartwatches, focusing on continuous monitoring of health metrics. Entre confirmed features include advanced sleep tracking, heart rate measurement, blood oxygen level monitoring and physical activity tracking. The ring will fully integrate with the Samsung Health ecosystem, consolidating data from different devices to give the wearer a holistic view of their fitness and well-being.

Expanding the connected ecosystem

Artificial intelligence will be the guiding thread of all launches. The company should present an evolved version of Galaxy AI, with features that go beyond simultaneous translation and generative image editing already present in the S24 line.

The new features should focus on more proactive and contextual assistance, with AI learning the individual’s usage patterns to optimize the battery, suggest actions and automate tasks across all devices in the ecosystem in an integrated way.
