How to watch Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event

Following the launch of the flagship Galaxy S21 series earlier this year, Samsung held another Galaxy Unpacked unveiling today, April 28. Like most recent tech and media events, Samsung’s April 28 Unpacked took place virtually, rather than in-person, giving Galaxy fans an opportunity to livestream the presentation and watch the company unveil its “most powerful Galaxy” to date.

If you’re a fan of Samsung’s wares and want to follow the company’s keynote live, we’ll tell you where to tune in on April 28.

As expected, Samsung announced two new highly-rumored laptops, the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360. They are ultra-thin laptops — one a clamshell and one a 2-in-1 convertible. They both come in a completely redesigned chassis and sport new AMOLED screens in all configurations, including the $999 13-inch model. That just might make it the cheapest OLED laptops ever sold.

The Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 both come powered by Intel 11th-gen processors, and will be available for purchase starting on May 14.

Samsung also had a bit of a surprise up its sleeve in the form of a slim new gaming laptop, the Galaxy Book Odyssey. The 15.6-inch gaming laptop comes with a previously unannounced Nvidia RTX 3050 Max-Q or 3050 Ti graphics card. Nvidia rarely lets other companies announce new GPUs, so this one came as quite a surprise.

The Galaxy Book Odyssey will start at $1,400 and will be available in August.

Samsung Galaxy Ring tipped to get two new sizes
The Samsung Galaxy Ring on someone's hand.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring almost immediately became an Oura Ring competitor due to its lower price, but there's a problem: it's only available up to size 13. If you have larger fingers, you might not be able to find one that fits comfortably. According to Max Jambor on X, that's soon going to be a thing of the past. The leaker claims that Samsung will announce Galaxy Rings in sizes 14 and 15 in the coming weeks.

When the Galaxy Ring first launched, it was available in sizes 5 to 13. That's the basic sizing standard in the U.S., but an increasing number of men have fingers that fall in the 14-15 range and need something slightly larger.

A disappointing Samsung Galaxy S25 spec just leaked

We're back with yet another leak regarding the Samsung Galaxy S25, but this one is not exciting news. According to leaked certification specs in China, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will only support 25-watt charging, while the Galaxy S25 Plus will support 45W. For reference, these are the same specs as the S24 and S24 Plus.

If you're charging from zero to 100%, there isn't that big of a difference in charge times between a 25W and a 45W charger — but it's charging to lower percentages where the difference is evident. Think about it like this: if you're leaving the house in 15 minutes and won't be near a charger for a while, you want the most charge you can get in a short window. Charging at 45W results in significantly greater battery power than 25W in the same time frame, up to around 70% to 80% of the battery.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is expected to launch in India at the end of September. TheTechOutlook first reported the leak, sharing an interesting tidbit of information: The A16 5G will get six years of guaranteed software updates.

Samsung started offering seven years of updates with the launch of the Galaxy S24 (a much more expensive device) earlier this year, a stark upgrade from the four years of updates offered with the S23.
