Alongside the unveiling of these new foldable smartphones, Samsung also presented two new products, starting with the Galaxy Buds2 Pro in-ear headphones, priced at €229. These ultra-light 15% earphones are more compact than the previous version, and offer audio quality that is claimed to be "superior to that of the previous version". exceptional" . They are in fact the first to feature 24-bit sound, thanks to the new SSC Hi-Fi codec. Hence the very rich, detailed sound with a much wider dynamic range, processing 256 times more sound data than their predecessors. What's more, in addition to Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio connectivity and Dolby Atmos compatibility, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro are the first in this range to feature three ultra-sensitive microphones per earpiece, for optimum filtration of ambient noise and crystal-clear sound during phone calls.
Alongside these earphones, which come in handy both at work and at home, Samsung has unveiled its next-generation connected watches, the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro. While Google recently presented its first version of smartwatches, Samsung aims to rival the Apple Watch with these two models featuring health and wellbeing monitoring functions. With no major changes to the design, but with a larger battery and faster charging than the Galaxy Watch4, these watches will meet the needs of business travellers who are concerned about their health as well as their bodies.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro, billed as " the most resistant and Samsung has ever offered" and with a large battery, is the first of the Korean group to meeting the expectations of sports travellers. Its new compatibility with the GPX format means that users can download itineraries and let themselves be guided by vibrations or voice instructions, all the way back to the starting point. So it's ideal for walking, cycling or running, and with music to boot, since you can launch a track on Spotify simply by voice, thanks to Google Assistant and Bixby. What's more, the Galaxy Watch5 extends its field of action in the post-training, rest and recovery phaseThis is a device that tells the user when it's time to rest or drink a certain amount of water, depending on the estimated perspiration.
These analyses are based on data supplied by BioActive, Samsung's in-house sensor already embedded in previous models. However, thanks to better contact with the wrist and a larger surface area, this new generation of connected watches provides even better monitoring of health parameters. Using a single chip, Bio Active combines three sensors that offer comprehensive measurements of heart rate, blood oxygen levels and blood pressure or stress levels. All of which means, for example, that electrocardiograms can be taken at any time. Another new feature is a new infrared temperature sensor that will eventually enable reliable measurements to be taken, even in the event of variations in ambient temperature. Finally, the Galaxy Watch5 also focuses on sleep quality, with a Coaching function and a personalised programme over four to five weeks to improve the user's sleep.
