Although the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 don't appear to have seen significant development from last year's versions, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 performance is to be expected. This should result in longer battery life, while Samsung's hinge technology has apparently also been enhanced. These smartphones won't be inexpensive, notably the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Expect to see the new Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, both of which reportedly have better battery life. And ideally, audiophiles will adore the Samsung Buds Pro 2.

Additionally this week, Qualcomm unveiled its brand-new W5 Gen 1 chipsets for Wear OS wearables. It may sound like a lot of nerdy geek hoopla, but hopefully it means that your next Wear OS watch won't malfunction within a day. Hooray!
