The biggest announcements from the Samsung Unpacked 2020 event

The biggest announcements from 

the Samsung Unpacked 2020 event

The expected Samsung Unpacked 2020 event is fully populated. The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are real things now, and so are the Galaxy Tab S7 tablet, Galaxy Watch 3, and Galaxy Buds Live (FKA "Beans"). It has also announced the new Galaxy Z Fold 2. In case you missed the presentation or just wanted to see the main highlights without having to watch the live broadcast on your own, we've just dribbled them to the size a bit below.

Samsung Note 20 and Note 20 ULTRA launch, available on August 21

Samsung Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are loaded with powerful specs, starting at $ 1,000 for Note 20 and $ 1,300 for Note 20 Ultra. Both models have Snapdragon 865 Plus processor with 5G support plus IP68 water resistance and wireless charging support, but they differ in some major ways.

Samsung placed a 64-megapixel telephoto lens in Note 20 (versus a 12-megapixel super telephoto lens), but an Ultra-108-megapixel lens (compared to the Note 20 12-megapixel display) with 5x optical zoom. The more expensive Note 20 Ultra has a 120Hz refresh rate, plus more RAM and microSD support.

Surprise: Samsung announced the Z FOLD 2

Of course, Samsung had to have something else up its sleeve. As a final announcement, it showed the foldable Galaxy Fold phone. When it is closed, the visible external screen is much larger than before. It measures 6.2 inches, while the main screen that appears when the device is opened extends to 7.6 inches. Samsung said it has strengthened the overall body of the phone to make it stronger and improve the hinge, so we hope it will be more durable than the first generation model. Samsung says we'll have more information on September 1 about availability and pricing.

GALAXY phones live in a state of inconvenience and wireless noise cancellation

Another widely leaked product prior to its official disclosure, Samsung Galaxy Buds Live is the company's latest wireless earbuds. They look like little jelly beans and are smaller in size compared to the Galaxy Buds Plus, but it has more advanced technology, such as active noise cancellation. We really believe Buds Plus are the best wireless earbuds overall, so the formula could get better still. Samsung has shown how easy it is to connect to multiple devices, something Apple's AirPods are known for, so we'll have to figure out how good this product is in the final product.

Samsung has announced the launch of the GALAXY WATCH 3, which is a more elegant and pricier smart watch

Galaxy Watch 3 is a smart watch that is thinner than previous models from Samsung, and has a larger screen measuring 1.4 inches. It's also more expensive than the recent iteration of the Galaxy Watch, pushing the price up by $ 70. It will be available in sizes 41mm and 45mm.

GALAXY TAB S7 features 120Hz screen and 5G support

Samsung has announced two sizes of its Tab S7 tablet, consisting of an 11-inch and 12.4-inch lineup. Both run Android 10 with OneUI, feature a powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, and for displays have a fast refresh rate of 120Hz, although only the largest has an OLED display. The smaller device has an LCD screen.
