Mobile World Congress is right around the corner but Samsung got out ahead of many rivals that will be showing off new handsets at that event by running the latest edition of Unpacked on Wednesday At its event in San Francisco s Palace of Fine Arts the company revealed the Galaxy S lineup which includes the base S the S and the S Ultra We ve got some hands on time with all three handsets as well and you can read about our in person experience with the Galaxy S Ultra as well as our S and S impressions in those articles In addition to those Samsung announced the Galaxy Buds along with you guessed it some AI updates All the devices unveiled today are already available for pre order should you already be dying to get your hands on them Here s a look at everything Samsung announced at the latest Unpacked Galaxy S and S nbsp Sam Rutherford for EngadgetNew ish year new Samsung phones Let s deal with the out and out bad news first The S and S are each more expensive than their predecessors the RAM shortage isn t exactly helping to keep prices down They start at and respectively for variants with GB of storage Samsung has tweaked the design a bit this time by rounding the corners to align them more with the S Ultra s look The base model has a slightly larger display than the S at inches though the S still nbsp has a inch screen albeit with a higher resolution than the S can handle The S has a larger battery capacity than the S too at mAh In North America China and Japan Samsung is sticking with Qualcomm chips rather than using its own Exynos If you pick up an S or S in those markets it will run on the Snapdragon Elite Gen chipset The camera modules are the same as last year but Samsung is aiming to supercharge them with upgrades elsewhere such as ProScaler image upscaling and an MDNIe chip that s said to greatly improve color precision There s also a video stabilization feature that tries to keep the horizon level while you re following a moving person or pet which sounds useful for action shots The new Object Aware Engine is said to better render skin tones and hair textures to make your selfies look better Samsung has reworked some AI features too such as making Now Brief and Auto Eraser compatible with more apps Pre orders for the S and S are open today and they ll be available on March The phones will be available in purple blue black white silver and rose gold though the latter two are online exclusives Galaxy S UltraThe Galaxy S Ultra will be available in the same colorways and on the same date as its smaller siblings It starts at so there s no price increase from the S Ultra Preorders open today The S Ultra has a inch AMOLED display with a QHD resolution of x and a Hz refresh rate That s all well and good but the display is hiding that being the key word what s perhaps the Galaxy S Ultra s most interesting feature The device has a Privacy Display that s said to be the first of its kind on a smartphone The idea here is to prevent people around from seeing what s on the screen from acute angles There s a small decrease in brightness when Privacy Display is active and there are lots of customization options You can set up Privacy Display to activate when you re asked for a password or PIN or when you get a notification or open certain apps So if for instance you tend to look at your banking apps when you re on public transit and don t want other passengers to see how much moolah you have Privacy Display seems like a very handy feature Elsewhere the S Ultra runs on the same chipset as its smaller siblings It comes with or GB of RAM and GB GB or TB of storage The battery is larger than the ones in the other S models as the Ultra has a mAh capacity There s support for Super Fast Charging as well Alas Samsung still hasn t seen fit to offer built in Qi charging magnets in the S lineup which seems like a wild oversight in the year The selfie camera is the same as on the S and S The S Ultra has MP ultrawide and MP wide lenses along with dual MP x and MP x telephoto sensors The resolutions of those cameras are the same as on the S Ultra but the main M and x telephoto sensors now have wider apertures to let in more light The S Ultra of course has the camera software features and other AI features found in the S and S We ll have a review of the devices soon In the meantime head on through to our hands on story for our initial impressions of the S Ultra Galaxy Buds and Buds ProSam Rutherford for EngadgetWhile the S phones are more iterative updates this year Samsung has given its Galaxy Buds a proper refresh It revamped the design and shape of the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro to do away with the angular look of the stems and remove the lights from them The earbuds have a quot more refined computationally designed fit quot too according to Samsung The company claims the latest earbuds have smaller earbud heads that allow for a better more secure fit and a more quot comfortable experience during all day wear quot The Galaxy Buds remain in an open fit format while the Buds Pro have a canal fit design The latest earbuds are said to offer improved audio quality and active noise cancellation ANC with an ambient sound mode adaptive EQ and adaptive ANC On Buds Pro there s a siren detection feature that enables ambient sound to let you hear things like alarms or emergency vehicle warnings The Buds Pro have a wide woofer that increases the effective speaker area by nearly percent compared with the previous gen earbuds Samsung said They support bit kHz audio If you re using Galaxy Buds or Buds Pro with a Galaxy device you ll be able to use Bixby Google Gemini and Perplexity with hands free voice controls though the quot hey Plex quot command for the latter might be a tad confusing for folks who use a certain media server app The Buds Pro support head gesture controls for managing calls and Bixby interactions as well As with the S phones pre orders for the earbuds open today and they ll hit shelves on March The Galaxy Buds cost and Galaxy Buds Pro will run you Both models are available in white and black with a matte finish There s an online exclusive pink option for Buds Pro as well Android AI featuresAhead of Unpacked Samsung confirmed that it would offer Perplexity as an AI agent option in Galaxy AI on the S lineup As part of that update it shared that the S series would respond to the Hey Plex wake phrase and that Perplexity s features would also be embedded in the Samsung Browser app The company also recently updated Bixby to make its own virtual assistant more conversational On top of that news Google had announcements of its own to make at Unpacked regarding new Android AI features which will of course be available on S devices On those handsets and the Pixel lineup the Gemini app will soon have a feature in beta that enables you to offload multi step tasks such as booking a ride or putting a grocery order together to AI It sure sounds like an attempt to build out agentic AI features on mobile devices Launching soon as a beta feature in the Gemini app for Pixel Pixel Pro and Samsung Galaxy S series you can offload multi step tasks directly to Gemini Simply long press the power button and ask Gemini to help book you a ride home or reorder your last meal Gemini pic twitter com YGIvqBkbuーGoogle Gemini GeminiApp February Starting this week on Pixel devices and soon on S phones Circle to Search will offer the ability to find details about multiple objects at once such as entire outfits instead of single pieces Moreover Gemini powered on device Scam Detection for phone calls will be available for S devices in English in the US Try Galaxy relaunches for the S seriesThe day after Unpacked Samsung shared a press release on its newsroom that encouraged users to check out its Try Galaxy experience on their devices By scanning a QR code users can launch the Galaxy UI and check out apps photo editing tools AI features and more Managing editor Cherlynn Low checked it out on her iPhone Pro and found the whole setup trippy but fascinating You can also use Try Galaxy to check out the company s foldable phones software on your main device As our editor in chief Aaron Souppouris pointed out this isn t the first time Samsung has made it possible to emulate a Galaxy phone on your own handset but the new iteration for Galaxy S certainly is new this year Update February PM ET This story has been updated to include more details on the Perplexity AI integration as well as include mentions in the intro of our hands on and pre order articles Update February PM ET This story has been updated to include the new Try Galaxy experience that Samsung announced today This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
