July 9, 2025

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Watch8 Series, introducing two new wearables, the Galaxy Watch8 and the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, which prioritize ultra-comfort, wellness-driven innovation, and deeper personalization through advanced AI. The launch reflects Samsung’s growing ambition in the digital health space, where hardware and software work in tandem to promote smarter living.

Ultra-Thin Redesign Meets All-Day Comfort

The Galaxy Watch8 series introduces a sleeker, more ergonomic profile thanks to a reengineered internal structure. The new cushion design, first seen on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, has now become standard across the lineup. This innovation results in a watch that’s 11% thinner and significantly more comfortable to wear, especially during sleep and workouts. Samsung also enhanced component mounting by 30%, contributing to a better fit and more accurate health tracking.

Meanwhile, the Dynamic Lug system improves wrist conformity, while the Super AMOLED displays offer up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, ensuring readability even under direct sunlight.

AI-Powered Insights for Holistic Health Tracking

Samsung continues to make health monitoring more proactive and actionable. With new features in the Samsung Health app, users gain deeper insights into both physical and mental wellness. This includes:

Bedtime Guidance, which uses circadian rhythm analysis to suggest optimal sleep schedules.
Vascular Load, which evaluates stress on the vascular system during rest.
Antioxidant Index, a first-of-its-kind carotenoid-level measurement that helps support healthy aging.
High Stress Alert and Mindfulness Tracker, which notify users of elevated stress levels and offer breathing exercises or mood tracking.

New AI-powered tools such as Energy Score assess both physical and mental states to help users manage their day better. Meanwhile, Running Coach provides tailored workout plans with real-time metrics and feedback for runners of all levels.

Wear OS 6 and Gemini Assistant Bring Smarter Interactions

The Galaxy Watch8 series is the first to launch with Wear OS 6 and built-in Gemini, Google’s AI assistant. Users can issue voice commands for tasks such as locating a café, sending messages, or starting workouts. Combined with One UI 8 Watch, the new software enhances navigation through improved Multi-Info Tiles, the Now Bar, and streamlined notifications.

Gemini also supports camera sharing, enabling users to get real-time help via video. Plus, deeper integration with Samsung apps like Health, Calendar, and Reminders ensures a truly hands-free experience.

Tailored to Every Lifestyle: Galaxy Watch8 vs Watch8 Classic

The Galaxy Watch8 offers a minimalist design perfect for everyday use. Available in 44mm and 40mm sizes, it comes in Graphite and Silver.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic adds a rotating bezel and a quick-access button for those who prefer a timeless aesthetic with enhanced navigation. It’s offered in 46mm, available in Black and White.

Both models support LTE, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-band Wi-Fi, dual-frequency GPS, and NFC, all protected under 5ATM + IP68 durability ratings and built to MIL-STD-810H military standards.

Pre-order, Pricing, and Availability

The Galaxy Watch8 Series, along with the new Galaxy Watch Ultra, is available for pre-order from July 9 to July 31 and will be officially available starting August 1.

Samsung is raising the bar once again in the foldable smartphone category with the official launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, the company’s most advanced foldable device to date.

Engineered to be thinner, lighter, and more intelligent than ever before, the Galaxy Z Fold7 seamlessly combines cutting-edge hardware with Galaxy AI, creating an ultra-premium device that’s built for productivity, creativity, and immersive content consumption.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a refined blend of portability and power, packed in a sleek form factor that houses a massive, immersive display and pro-level camera hardware—all running on Samsung’s latest One UI 8 operating system optimized for foldables and powered by Android 16.

Slimmer Form, Bigger Impact

Weighing just 215 grams and measuring only 8.9mm when folded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 stands as Samsung’s thinnest and lightest foldable ever. The wider 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio offers a more intuitive experience for one-handed use. When unfolded, the device transforms into an 8-inch main display, now 11% larger than its predecessor, perfect for editing documents, watching content, or managing multiple apps side by side.

The display delivers vivid contrast, deep blacks, and excellent visibility with up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness and Samsung’s Vision Booster technology, ensuring readability even in direct sunlight.

Built Tough with Premium Materials

Despite its ultra-slim form, the Galaxy Z Fold7 doesn’t skimp on durability. The newly redesigned Armor FlexHinge utilizes a multi-rail water droplet structure, distributing pressure evenly to reduce creasing and extend longevity. For added protection, the outer display features Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, offering enhanced scratch and crack resistance, while the frame is reinforced with Armor Aluminum.

Samsung also thickened its Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) by 50%, and introduced a titanium layer beneath the display, giving the screen improved rigidity without adding weight. This level of engineering positions the Galaxy Z Fold7 as a device built for both luxury and everyday resilience.

Galaxy AI Gets a Foldable Upgrade

Running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the Z Fold7 offers impressive boosts in on-device AI tasks, with performance improvements of up to 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU over the previous generation. These enhancements power real-time translation, photo editing, and creative workflows right from the device.

Paired with the upgraded One UI 8, Galaxy AI now supports enhanced multitasking and content creation features. Gemini Live offers context-aware answers through multimodal AI that understands what users are typing, saying, or viewing. With Circle to Search, users can quickly pull up gaming tips or information on-screen without disrupting their workflow.

Tools like Photo Assist, Generative Edit, and Audio Eraser have also become smarter, now offering proactive suggestions and more intuitive controls. The large display makes it easy to edit, compare, and finalize photos or videos in real time, enhancing creative efficiency.

Pro-Grade Imaging with 200MP Main Camera

Samsung has brought flagship-level photography to its foldable lineup. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first in the series to feature a 200MP wide-angle camera, delivering photos with 4x the detail and up to 44% brighter images. Enhanced low-light performance, Night Video with motion detection, and 10-bit HDR ensure cinematic quality in any environment.

Whether capturing group shots with the 100° 10MP camera, snapping selfies, or filming content, the Galaxy Z Fold7 adapts with AI-enhanced scene recognition and automatic optimization.

Philippine Pricing, Pre-Order and Availability

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is now available for pre-order starting July 9, with general availability beginning August 1. Consumers can choose from Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet Black, and Mint (exclusive online color).

Here are the pricing details:

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 12GB + 512GB: Php120,990

For the first time, the Flip also supports Samsung DeX, turning the phone into a mini workstation when connected to a screen.

On the camera front, users get a 50MP wide and 12MP ultra-wide dual rear setup, bolstered by Photo Assist, Portrait Studio, and Generative AI tools. Enhanced Nightography, real-time filters, and the new Zoom Slider on the FlexWindow make shooting and sharing content more seamless and fun.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE

For those looking for a more budget-friendly entry point to foldables, Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. It brings the core foldable experience in a simpler package, with a 6.7-inch main display, 50MP FlexCam, and Flex Mode for hands-free shooting and video calls.

The FE variant also brings Now Brief to the cover screen, offering optimized updates like calendar events, commute alerts, and weather, designed to fit the smaller display footprint.
