Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung’s rumored rival for the new Motorola Razr is now official, bringing last century’s clamshell flip phone up to date with dual screens. It hardly comes as a surprise to us, though, as Samsung first revealed it during the 2020 Oscars. The prices start at $1,380 / £1,300.

Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra
While less buzzy than the Z Flip, Samsung’s ultrapopular Galaxy phones get their annual refresh. This time, though, there’s a new big phone on the block — the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which steps into the Note 10 Plus‘ size turf at almost 7 inches. It adds another camera and some new photo smarts, a 120Hz OLED display (along with an ongoing partnership with Xbox Game Studios for mobile gaming) and support for two 5G standards, among other things. The 5G models start at $999 / £799 and will be available March 6. (And the S10s are getting price drops!)

Samsung also offered up a refreshed version of its Galaxy Buds; the “Plus” in Galaxy Buds Plus refers to its improved battery life and extra microphone. Still no noise cancellation, though.
