Alongside the new Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Fold phones, Samsung today also unveiled a pair of new wireless earphones and a new smartwatch.
The Galaxy Buds are Samsung's latest answer to Apple's AirPods. They promise to deliver high-quality audio, and also let you answer phone calls and issue voice commands to your handset via two microphones in each earbud, which can capture audio in quiet and loud environments.
Galaxy Buds offer up to 6 hours of battery life while streaming music and five hours if you're making phone calls. You can also now charge the earphones wirelessly, and by "device-to-device," which means you place the Buds atop a Samsung Galaxy S10 phone and siphon some of its battery power.
Galaxy Buds arrive on March 8 for $129. However, for a limited time, Samsung is offering a free pair of Galaxy Buds to people who pre-order a Galaxy S10 or S10+ on Samsung.com.
Galaxy Watch Active
On the smartwatch front, Samsung announced the new Galaxy Watch Active, which has a 28mm watch face and is designed for fitness tracking.
It can automatically detect when you start a jog, a bike ride, or an exercise machine and track your progress. "You can manually engage in more than 39 activities [and] set daily goals," Samsung said.
The Watch Active also comes with a newly developed blood pressure monitoring feature that works on an app called My BP Lab, which Samsung jointly developed with the University of California, San Francisco. Users can begin downloading the app on March 15.
The product is 5ATM water-resistant, meaning it can be underwater for 10 minutes at a depth of 50 meters. It also supports wireless charging and device-to-device charging. Running inside the watch is a Exynos 9110 dual-core processor clocked at 1.15GHz, 768MB of RAM and 4GB of storage.
Although the Galaxy Watch Active runs Samsung's Tizen operating system, the product works with Android and iOS devices. It'll launch on March 8 starting at $199.
Samsung also introduced a new fitness band called the Galaxy Fit, which will arrive on May 31. It sports a watch face with a 0.95-inch display, and can track over 90 different exercises and activities.
