Samsung has announced its next-generation folding-screen products, including the well-known Z Flip phone, along with new, high-end tablets that are water-resistant and Galaxy Watch smartwatches.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 were presented on Wednesday at an event in South Korea, the company's country of origin, along with a new line of Android tablets from the Tab S9 family and the Galaxy Watch 6, which runs Google's Wear OS operating system.

The market-dominating Flip series has been updated with a significantly larger exterior cover screen that can be used for rapid message responses, widgets, and as a viewfinder for snapping selfies with the two primary 12-megapixel cameras.
The internal folding screen also includes a unique water-drop hinge design, which the firm claims is 25% more robust and lowers the wrinkle in the middle of the display. This design also enables the phone to fold completely flush with no gap along the edges when closed.
The water-resistant Z Flip 5 is slimmer, lighter, and equipped with Qualcomm's quicker Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip than its predecessor.

For its fifth generation, Samsung's groundbreaking folding phone-tablet hybrid has also undergone some important improvements. The Z Fold 5 closes without a gap at the sides thanks to the improved water-drop hinge design shared with the Flip. The internal screen is 25% more durable, brighter, and stylus-compatible.
The ultra premium tablet has five cameras on the back, front, and inside screen and is faster, thinner, and lighter than its predecessor. The Z Fold 5 will be on sale on August 11 for a starting price of £1,749 in the UK and $1,799 in the US.
The Z Fold 5 is essential to ensuring the company's dominance in the hottest segment of the smartphone market because Google's sleek Pixel Fold will be available for purchase at the same price at the beginning of July.
Galaxy Tab 9!

For its upcoming generation, Samsung's high-end Android tablet range will include some of the first models with water resistance. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 engine, sleek AMOLED panels, stylus compatibility, and 5G possibilities are all shared by the Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra.
The three models are distinguished by their screen sizes, which range from 11 inches to 14.6 inches on the diagonal.
Premium iPad rivals offer cutting-edge Android software that enables them to replace laptops, connect to external monitors, and come with optional keyboard case accessories.
Beginning on August 11, the Tab S9 series will be available for $799 in the US and £799 in the UK.

Last but not least, Samsung's smartwatch series has also undergone improvements, including faster processors, more memory, and larger batteries, which should help with one of the greatest issues with the devices.
The Galaxy Watch 6 comes in four sizes, each with a 20% bigger display, and the popular physical rotating bezel from Samsung is back on the Classic models. The watches have new quick-release watch straps akin to those on the Apple Watch and the most recent Wear OS 4 operating system, which will get updates for at least five years.
The Watch 6 is the greatest rival to the popular Apple Watch for Android users, starting at $299 in the US or £289 in the UK, and will be available in stores on August 11. It is much less expensive than Google's Pixel Watch.
