Samsung just introduced three new foldable smartphones to better appeal to a mainstream audience. These phones are thinner, lighter, and in one case, a lot cheaper. The $900 Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is Samsung's cheapest folding phone.

We're here checking out the new Galaxy watches. This is the Galaxy Watch 8. And this is the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.As you can see, it has a subtle design change. It's got that new squirrel design that we saw on the Ultra last year. And the Classic brings back the rotating bezel.One of my favorite features from the Galaxy Watches, but sadly, it's not on the Galaxy Watch 8. What's cool about the Galaxy Watch 8 though is that it's a lot thinner than last year's and even thinner than the Galaxy Watch Classic. B ...

I'm decked out in watches because I am checking out the new Galaxy Watch 8, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the new version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. This is the titanium blue version. Now, as you'll notice, a lot of design changes to talk about, starting with this beautiful rotating bezel.One of my favorite features of the Galaxy watches from the past is back, but there's a catch. So, I'll get to that later. Let's continue on with all the other health features, which are kind of front and center this year ...

Another year, another three Galaxy watches to unpack. Wait, quick. Get it.Unpack. Anyh who, let's dive into the Galaxy Watch 8, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and I guess there's a slightly updated Galaxy Watch Ultra. Emphasis on slightly.Hardware-wise, the first thing you'll probably notice is the squirle. It's still a circle. There's just this square thing behind it, which to be fair, Samsung told us at a demo before Unpacked that it has very good reasons for this.Three very good reasons even. First, it lets ...

notice anything new about the new Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. Yep, it's a squirle kind of. There's a reason for this.Supposedly, Samsung says it allows the watch to sit flatter on your wrist. It makes the watch thinner and it enables it to have a slightly bigger battery, though emphasis on slightly. At first, I wasn't a fan of the squirrelness of it all, but believe me, it actually looks sleeker in person.And frankly, I'm mostly just happy to see the rotating bezel again. H I've missed it. So, the c ...
