Galaxy Fold
The tablet has a 7.3-inch screen which uses an Infinity Flex Display. When folded, it becomes a phone with a 4.6-inch screen.
The Galaxy Fold comes with 512GB of in-built storage along with a 7nm octa-core processor and 12GB RAM. The device has two batteries whose power is combined to a total of 4380 mAh.
The device features a triple camera setup at the rear (which can be used in phone mode as well as tablet mode) that has two 12-megapixel cameras (a wide angle and a telephoto) and a 16-megapixel 123-degree ultra wide camera.
Apart from that, there’s a 10-megapixel cover camera, as well as a front dual camera (10-megapixel and 8-megapixel for RGB depth).
The tablet mode can run three apps at once; one which takes the majority of the screen and two which run in a smaller size, but you can switch the apps and run in the bigger view.
There is App Continuity in the device, i.e. if you’re viewing an app in the phone mode, and then you unfold the device to the tablet mode, it will open there directly on the bigger screen.
The Galaxy Fold will be available starting April 26th and is priced at US$ 1,980.

Galaxy S10.
Since this is the Unpacked event in the first half of the year, it is logical to assume that they’ve come up with the next device in the Galaxy S range. It comes as no surprise that it is the Galaxy S10. There are the flagship S10 and S10+, but there is also the S10e and the S10 5G model this year.
They have a dynamic AMOLED display which is HDR10+ certified. The S10e has a 5.8″ display, the S10 has 6.1″, the S10+ has a 6.4″, and the S10 5G has a 6.7″ display.

The Galaxy S10 range also has the world’s first in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner that reads 3D contours and not a 2D image of your finger.
The Galaxy S10 has a triple rear camera. Two 12-megapixel cameras (wide angle and telephoto), and one ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view.
Samsung has introduced the Wireless PowerShare on the Galaxy S10, i.e. it can charge other other devices wirelessly (QI-certified).

It also comes with the new Wi-Fi 6 which gives better performance when connected to a compatible router, and the intelligent Wi-Fi switches seamlessly between Wi-Fi and LTE.
The Galaxy S10 5G is Samsung’s first phone to feature 5G connectivity. It comes with a 6.7-inch display and a 4500 mAh battery to take full advantage of the next generation connectivity.
The Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ will be available in Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue and Flamingo Pink colours, and are priced at US$ 749.99, US$ 899.99, and US$ 999.99 respectively.
Wearables:
Galaxy Buds
Samsung then launched their “in-ear lifestyle companion” – the Galaxy Buds. These are cord-free earbuds with sound from AKG. The battery can lasts for up to six hours of Bluetooth streaming, and up to five hours of calls. The case holds a charge for up to seven hours. They can also be charged form the PowerShare technology in the Galaxy S10 mentioned earlier.
The Galaxy Buds integrate with Bixby, so you don’t need to use your phone to give commands to the intelligent assistant.
The buds use Adaptive Dual Microphone with one inner and one outer microphone for clear voice in loud as well as quiet environments.
