Thank you and welcome to OMP. It is great to be here in London, a city rich in history, yet constantly defining what comes next. That spirit feels familiar to us. Throughout Samsung's history, we have done the same. Embracing change, challenging convention, and turning new ideas into experiences for millions. We believe in a culture of progress that makes life simpler and more connected. That mission feels more relevant today than ever. Earlier this year, I said AI is becoming infrastructure, the invisible backbone of our daily lives. Like any core infrastructure, its value lies in helping more people. That is why we are bringing Galaxy AI to more than 800 million devices within this year. Because for most people, their AI experience begins with their phone. Not just because it is always with them, but because it understands them better than any other device. That's what makes mobile the ideal foundation for authentic AI. It helps you do less searching, less switching between apps, and less friction and more time for what matters most. Whether you are navigating a busy day, coordinating family schedules, or planning for a trip, your phone can help bring everything together. And with the connected Galaxy ecosystem, your AI experience extends seamlessly from your phone to your wrist to the TV in your living room. and soon even beyond the screen with our new AI glasses. Authentic AI on Galaxy will move with you across your devices. Each touch point adds another layer of context making your AI experiences truly natural and seamless. Perhaps the most meaningful impact of AI is helping us live a healthier life. Health is fundamental to our happiness and shaped by the small decisions we make every day. How you sleep, recover, manage stress, and stay active. With the latest Galaxy Watch series and enhanced Samsung Health, we'll bring deeper insights and more personalized guidance to help you build better habits. But none of these matter without security and privacy. For AI to take action on your behalf, it must first earn your trust. At Samsung, trust is a design principle. From Samsung Knox security platform to on-device AI and personal data engine to security and privacy dashboard. Your data should remain under your control. What's connected, what's being used must always be clear to you and you should always have a choice. Now the question is if AI is becoming more personal, more proactive and more multi-dimensional, what is the optimal device to bring that experience to life? We believe the answer is foldables. Some of you want a phone that's pocket perfect. Others want a larger, more immersive canvas for creativity. It's fair to say the future of mobile will be defined by experiences that keep up with you on the device that serves you best. As the global leader in foldables, our innovations move the category forward. Generation after generation, we've made foldables thinner, lighter, stronger, and more immersive. We are always listening, always improving. Today, we bring more choices to power the next era of intelligence. These are the most powerful, most versatile, and most adaptive foldables we've ever introduced. Designed to fit seamlessly into your life and powerful enough to unlock your potential. Now the curtain opens.

Tae-moon Roh12:03
We just saw how galaxy foldables can transform the way we live. work and create every day to help you unlock your full potential. And we've been listening to what you need and what matters most. Eight years in, your voice continues to inspire what comes next for foldables. And today, we're taking a bold leap forward. Introducing Galaxy Z48 Ultra. Heat. Heat. Ultra represents the very best of Samsung Galaxy. Our top performance and imaging systems delivered through the most advanced hardware engineering. And now Ultra comes to our latest foldable. Let's start with what you'll notice first, the design. We precision mill every detail to create the thinnest Galaxy Fold ever. It's light and sits comfortably in your hand, ready to go when you are. And when you're moving between meetings or jumping from a call to a presentation, you need a device that's durable enough to keep up. So, we set out to achieve both slimness and durability by rebuilding from the inside out. Introducing Flex Titanium, our next generation display structure that combines strength and flexibility. We replaced the polymer layers with a titanium alloy film and paired it with a flexible titanium plate beneath the OLED panel. The titanium alloy film is 20 times stiffer whilst measuring roughly one-third the thickness of a human hair. And with refined micro pattern holes, pressure is distributed more evenly across the fold. This technology is pioneered by Samsung built on years of foldable leadership. The result is a display that has a noticeably reduced crease and is remarkably slim and flexible. We redesigned the hinge to support this new display structure. The new Armor Flex hinge glides with smooth precision. So opening and closing, yeah, it feels easy. But creating a thinner and more flexible foldable was only a part of the challenge. Because from the moment you first unfold, your day is already waiting for you. Like the stack of emails and texts that you still need to reply to. That means you need a battery that can keep up with you every day well into the night. Even with a slimmer frame, we created room for a 5,000 milliampere battery, the largest ever in a Galaxy Z Fold. by rethinking the material itself. For the first time, we're introducing a silicon carbon anode to improve energy density and we've optimized the entire system to ensure it's safe and reliable to use over time. The result is our longest lasting battery life, enough to get you through the full rhythm of your day. At end of the night, you forget to plug in before bed. No stress. A new charging system allows both battery cells to charge through independent paths, improving efficiency. In just 30 minutes, you can go from being completely drained back up to 67%. But battery is only half the story. You need a display that matches it. With a higher resolution across both screens, every photo, video, or app on the Galaxy Z8 Ultra stays crisp and vibrant. Step outside and this level of clarity continues to hold up with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and a low reflection display finish. Now on a foldable for the first time, text is more readable. Content is clear wherever you are. And it doesn't stop there. Life doesn't wait for the perfect shot. The best moments happen in an instant, and your camera should be ready to capture them naturally. That's where the Ultra camera comes in. We're continuing to push camera innovation on the Galaxy Z Fold so every shot comes to life. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra captures the world as you see it with breathtaking details, range, and resolution, revealing details across the deepest shadows and the brightest highlights. And when the moment needs more room, the ultra wide camera brings more into the frame while keeping edges remarkably sharp. Tying it all together is the Pro Visual Engine, working across sensors and software to understand your vision and bringing it to life with each frame. You can focus on the moment and let Galaxy take care of capturing it. But some of the most memorable moments, they happen after dark. Bring the check and from conversations that linger into the night to spontaneous nights out that no one wants to end. Nightography captures every shot vividly. Whether you're by candle light or exploring a new city after dark, scenes retain their depth, texture, and mood. And for creators, 8K recording with APV codec lets you capture in full resolution, so more details are preserved from start to finish. For every photo and video, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra takes care of each frame as you capture it. So every moment takes center stage with stunning clarity. The camera improvements are just the beginning. The performance is ultra too. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy powers next level speed and intelligence, making the Galaxy Z48 Ultra ideal for all day multitasking, immersive gaming, and everything in between. And while you play, the neural frame fusion uses AI to boost gaming performance by reconstructing pixels and frames in real time for sharper, smoother gameplay. But making the most of your day takes more than a bigger screen or a more powerful chip. To help you move forward, Galaxy AI brings AI intelligence that stays one step ahead, anticipating your needs and bringing meaningful suggestions in the moment. And all of that begins with Galaxy AI powered down nudge with more ways to access it than ever through notifications, your keyboard, or an ambient overlay. Now nudge steps in across even more situations. So when your colleagues mention a meeting, it understands the context and suggests what to do next. You can open your calendar side by side, check your schedule, and let them know without missing a beat. Galaxy AI gives you a gentle nudge when it matters most. Like that spa reservation you made for your partner. Personal data engine works on device to remember important details like the address and brings them back through now nudge. It's about having the right information at the right time because the most helpful AI knows when you need and what you need. And when work builds up, Gemini Notebook helps you clear it faster. When you've got a bunch of photos and files just after a meeting, just drag them into Gemini Notebook. The materials are then analyzed individually and consolidated to generate a comprehensive set of visuals. This is AI designed to help you move through your day. It understands your context and offers the help you need so you can focus on what matters. This is Galaxy Z8 Ultra. Our most capable foldable yet. Built for people who are driven by passion, inspired by possibilities. Coming in violet shadow, graphite, cream, and green shadow. Pricing for the Galaxy Z48 Ultra begins at $2,999 and will be available from August 7th. But everyone's life takes on a different shape. For those who pull inspiration from everywhere and use it to create. For those who see their device as a canvas for their imagination. This is Galaxy Z Fold 8. A foldable that fits the shape of how you actually live. Our lives are more dynamic than ever. Some moments need a bigger canvas. Others need something lighter. We've continued to redefine how people experience their devices. And today, a new shift is happening. It's not just about devices, but about how content adapts around you, what people watch, where they find inspiration. People no longer live in one fixed shape, because one size doesn't fit all. Introducing the all new Galaxy Z Fold 8. We redesigned the display structure from the ground up. Beneath the display panel, the polymer film and barrier layer are replaced with a new high strength titanium alloy film for a thinner, more durable display. Below that, the titanium plate features micro patterned holes paired with a pressure sensitive adhesive, reducing air gaps to create a smoother, more stable surface. Together, this forms the flex titanium structure. You can enjoy more of what you love with long lasting battery. Inside, a more streamlined architecture creates space for a larger battery. A dual DCIC system improves thermal efficiency while enabling faster charging. and a wider hinge. Refined with greater precision, opens more easily and feels more natural than ever. The result, our lightest fold ever. Every decision was made in service of one experience. From folded to unfolded, from landscape to portrait. A new way to experience everything you love. The all new Galaxy Z Fold 8. This is a new chapter of foldables designed to move the way you do. Introducing the all new Galaxy Z Fold 8, a canvas that shifts and expands with your curiosity. More often than not, what captures your attention starts small. A quick scroll through YouTube shorts to see what's trending or you get pulled into your Instagram feed. These are the moments of discovery that can quickly lead to something more. When Galaxy Z Fold 8 is closed, you can explore these creative inspirations just by scrolling the way you naturally do. And if you want to engage more deeply, that's when you expand your view. The 4x3 display gives you enough room to stay immersed while keeping the comments open. Because let's be honest, half the fun is seeing if everyone else thought the same thing as you. But what happens when a 15-second clip sparks the 15-minute obsession? Like a deep dive into YouTube. That's when you fill the entire screen for a more immersive viewing experience. Your content expands across the frame with less letter boxing and more of what you actually want to see. Now you can lock in on that Netflix series you saved earlier. From there, watching turns into action. The expansive display brings a whole new dimension to mobile gaming. With a wider field of view, games feel less squished, even when your thumbs are stuck on the controls. Seriously, what a view. Now, rotate it and the experience slows down. In portrait, the 3x4 ratio creates a natural reading rhythm, like a digital library in your hand. That article you've been meaning to get to, the cartoon chapter you save for later, the magazine you actually subscribe to. Content stacks vertically just the way your eyes move. And before you know it, you've settled in. Reading has a way of expanding our curiosity. Galaxy Z Fold 8 lets you move from questions to answers with ease. Open Samsung browser and more content and information fits at glance so there's less scrolling in your adventures. But none of this works without a solid foundation. Years of leadership in foldable technology have led to a stronger and slimmer display with less grease on the surface, but a great screen is only part of the experience. The other part is what you do on it. When you open your app, you'll notice the layout adapts to the display seamlessly. And with a screen optimized for longer engagements, like a scroll that turns into a deep dive or the short form content that turns into a series, we've equipped the Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a 4,800 milliamp battery that delivers more than 26 hours of video playback. It's built to keep you entertained on a long flight or throughout your day in the city. And it's the world's lightest fold ever.

So, it goes where the moment takes you. And as we spend more time viewing content, we're also capturing and sharing more of our own. With Galaxy Z Fold 8, that's exactly what you're going to want to do. When you open the camera, the cover screen becomes a natural viewfinder, helping you capture every moment as you live it. And the way your fingers sit along the curves of the device will feel nostalgic, reminding you of a classic digital camera. With a powerful dual 50 megapixel wide and ultrawide camera, Galaxy Z Fold 8 turns everyday photography into an iconic experience. Once you capture your perfect shot, you can expand your photo across the big screen to relive the moment or to refine it for posting. Open the Galaxy Z file date and it becomes your editing suite. Sometimes you capture the perfect moment, but the photo still feels like it's missing something. Maybe it needs a small touchup before you share it with the world. Photo Assist lets you edit images through simple prompts. And on the expansive foldable display, every change appears clearly before and after, side by side, so you always see exactly what you're committing to. But some moments are better captured in action. My Fan Cam helps you turn a single recording into a personalized video in just seconds. Group moments deserve a wide frame, capturing everyone and the full energy of the scene. But even in a wide shot, your attention naturally follows one person, like your favorite member or artist who steals the show for you each time. Select them, choose the aspect ratio for your favorite social platform to share with your friends and family, and Galaxy AI does the rest. It keeps the person you chose naturally centered as they move through the frame. And everything we saw today from now brief to now nudge is AI experiences built into Galaxy Z Fold 8 quietly working in the right ground so you can focus on what matters. cut.

Galaxy Z Flip has always been for people who move through life with openness and spontaneity. And the Flex Window has always been where that spirit shows first. a small window built for a big personality. And this year, we're making it more amazing with a richer flex window experience. Introducing 1 UI 9. It's built on Android 17 and it comes to Galaxy Foldables for the first time. And the Flex window takes a big step forward. Its interface has been redesigned to make full use of the edge-to-edge cover display with intuitive interactions that let you do more with Flex Window. All the gestures you already know now work on the cover screen. Swipe down from the left for notifications, from the right for quick panel, across for widgets, and up for your apps. And just like the home screen, pinch to customize your layout on Flex Window. No new learning, all the same gestures you know and love. And the apps you reach for every day, they now run full screen on the Flex window. Scroll through your gallery and find the moments worth repeating. Check your calendar and text a friend to lock in a date, all without opening your phone. But one of my favorite changes is now brief on the flex window. Understanding your moment and proactively bringing the information you need before you even ask. Say your morning starts gray and rainy. You're getting ready, thinking about your first meeting, and before you have the chance to check the traffic of the time, you get a reminder. Leave a little earlier today. And when you want your Now brief to feel more like yours, you can now build your own custom cards. Stay on top of your health with a daily summary of your activity and nutrient levels every evening. Or bring in running tips from YouTube. It's a daily brief briefing that shaped around your life. And when a spark of creativity hits, Flip has you covered then, too. Galaxy Z Flip has always been about the freedom to capture life on your own terms. And this year, the experience behind those moments has evolved. The Flex Cam that you know and love comes with a 50 megapixel camera for stunning selfies. And the same pro visual engine from the Galaxy S26 series now comes to Galaxy Z Flip 8, delivering softer skin textures, natural tones, and accurate colors across different lighting, so you can always look your best. And when a moment deserves more than a single frame, Galaxy Z Flip 8 changes in your hand. This vintage camcorder grip makes every moment feel like it's worth filming. And now it's paired with a stabilization technology that captures the energy of every moment smoothly. Super Steady calculates direction and gravity in real time, correcting drastic tilts to keep your shots level. Whether you're vlogging or passing around the camera with friends, it will look good, continuous and uninterrupted. And all of this comes in a form that's slimmer and lighter than ever. At just 6.1 mm when opened and weighing only 180 grams, you'll feel the difference the moment you hold it. And all that slimness comes together so you can truly make it your own.

Hey. Hi everyone. It's so great to be here. In the film you've just seen, Ned builds a Spidey tracker on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra to help track down Spider-Man. And honestly, it actually makes sense when you see it like this. Here's the thing. The Spidey Tracker isn't just a movie prop. It's already live and you can experience it for yourself. Let me show you. I've got the Z Fold 8 Ultra right here. And when you open your fold like this, you immediately see why Ned relies on this device. On the large screen, everything is running at once. The Spidey tracker on one side, on the other side, Spider-Man case logs. Both are live. Both are updating in real time. And this is what makes it so powerful. It's not just multitasking. It's seeing everything together. And Ned keeps both of at the same time, constantly tracking, comparing, and connecting what's happening. Not switching between things, but watching everything unfold in parallel. That's just how he operates.

Galaxy Watch 9 is designed for everyday health. Your health is not a one-time thing. It's built in the routines, habits, and small moments. Galaxy Watch 9 helps you support this health journey. At Samsung, we believe in the universal need to care and be cared for. This belief drives our mission to democratize health for all. As of today, over 77 million users rely on Samsung Health, helping them deepen their understanding of what their bodies need. For too long, we've approached health reactively, waiting until something feels wrong before going in for a checkup. We are changing that narrative with Galaxy Watch 9. Proactive care reaches a new level, helping transform what you learn about your body into smarter, healthier routines. Your body often signals that something is off before you actually feel it. That's where vitals come in. While you sleep, Watch 9 quietly tracks five key biometrics, building a baseline that's unique to you. So when your day begins, Vitals flags any significant deviations in these metrics like your heart rate or HRV, offering insights into what might be influencing these changes along with tips to proactively manage your day. And those insights start to tell a bigger story. Using data that impacts your cardiovascular health, including activity and vascular load, heart health score turns these complex insights into a simple daily view, giving you a clearer understanding of how your current habits affect your heart health.
For the first time, you can see how your daily behavior affects the risk of developing heart disease and what steps to take to reduce it. But insights only matter if you act on them. From yoga to running, every activity has unique amounts. When you're planning your workout, fitness index evaluates your readiness across five dimensions, including endurance and body composition. It compares where you are today against your target, guiding you with tailored workouts and content at the right intensity through weekly missions.
We're also partnering with IIT to deliver subscription-based content at your level to help you reach your goals. When you're ready to move, Galaxy Watch 9 is there with you. Last year, we introduced Running Coach. It meets you where you are and helps you reach your finish line. With training plans for all levels, whether you're running your first 5K or a full marathon. And while you run, Galaxy Watch 9 pays attention to your form, transforming metrics into actionable feedback. Advanced metrics analyze your stride and posture after each run so you can improve your technique over time. Part of the joy in running is also where you run. So we plan to continue collaborating with runner loved apps like Straa. Starting this fall, Straa subscribers will be able to seamlessly integrate their saved routes to Samsung Health and access their favorite places to run from their watch. Just choose the route, place up, and head out.
But the day doesn't end with your workout. One of the strongest indicators of how well you're doing is sleep. Almost a billion people are living with sleep apnnea. many without knowing it. For years, Galaxy Watches have helped identify possible signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea, giving you insight into when it may be time to see a medical provider. Later this summer, the sleep apnea feature will get its latest upgrade, introducing a new FDA cleared capability that provides deeper insight into your breathing disruption level during sleep. And this fall, Galaxy Ring will also be the first and only FDA cleared over-the-counter Ring device for sleep apnnea risk detection. With Galaxy Watch 9, you'll have tools that help you live a fuller life, turning different data into daily changes, so you can make big strides over time. Thank you.
Helping you experience more of your life also means embracing new adventures. And this is the watch that's ready for it all. Samsung Watch Ultra 2 brings the ultimate Samsung Galaxy experience right to your wrist. And that starts with the design. We brought the screen, bezel, and body into one cohesive form for a thinner profile with a cleaner, more refined balance. The new cushion design feels stronger, too. We redesigned the band with refined elastic silicone with air pocket ventilation for more breathable, comfortable fit. Ideal for outdoor adventures and training sessions. But what brings great design to life is performance. Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is our most powerful Galaxy Watch yet. Powered by the Snapdragon Elite platform, for the first time ever, it delivers higher performance across every experience. Amazing. But speed means little without endurance. We engineered a 35% larger battery that gives you up to 60 hours on a single charge. Your battery doesn't decide when your adventure stops. You do. Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is built for the everyday and your toughest moments. Crafted with rugged titanium and backed by IP69K and 10 ATM ratings, you get the highest dust and water resistance ever on a Galaxy Watch. Whether you're sandboarding or diving in, it keeps up with you. And wherever your adventure takes you, visibility matters. We pushed peak brightness capability to 5,000 nits, a world first for any watch display.
And that visibility unlocks experiences that go beyond the surface, like underwater. Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is our first watch to meet the EN13319 standard, which is the international standard for diving accessories. Just strap it on and move right into the ocean. Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 instantly shows your depth, water temperature, and dive time. We partnered with Mayers, trusted by divers for over 75 years to bring a proven dive algorithm to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Together, they transformed the watch into a fully featured decompression dive computer. It includes industry standard capabilities like NDL guidance. so you know how long you can safely remain underwater. And it goes even further. Real time nitrogen absorption monitoring helps reduce the risk of decompression sickness and adjustable gradient factors let experienced divers tailor conservatism to their personal preferences or physical needs.

Thank you. You've just been introduced to the new Galaxy Zfold Ultra, the Galaxy ZFold, and the Galaxy Z Flip. Each one expands what you can do with the Galaxy. We believe technology should adapt to people, not the other way around. Your devices should never limit what you can access, create, share, or experience. They should open doors, not close them. For us, openness is both a core value and a foundational design principle. Everything we build from cutting edge hardware and intuitive software to a fast connected ecosystem gives you more freedom, more choice and more connection. Openness means freedom. Freedom to choose devices, freedom to switch platforms, and freedom to share without friction. Whether you want to share a new recipe with your best friend or make sure everyone in the group selfie gets a copy, we believe sharing should be fast and easy regardless of what OS you are using. That's why we are expanding quick share into a cross OS experience. Now it works across Android and iOS so you can share more easily than ever. Beyond that, two based sharing makes it even more immediate. No app needed, no friction. And when it's time to join Galaxy, Smart Switch makes the transition effortless. Simply scan a QR code and start transferring your data. Everything from your photos, contacts, messages, even your password. All without installing an app. This is what openness means. Removing barriers so you have the freedom to choose what works best for you. And if you are joining Galaxy for the first time, welcome to the family.
With your Galaxy phone, you can now experience a new era of mobile AI. AI is no longer a feature you use from time to time. It's becoming the layer everything runs on across the Galaxy ecosystem. It understand your context and handles the steps in between. So you can spend less time managing your phone and more time living your life. Starting with the Galaxy Z series, we are building beyond the OS, an AI OS that connects apps and services at the system level. This is already happening with Agentic AI. It's a new way to use your phone where you simply say what you want and your phone takes care of the rest. Together with Google, we are building a future where your AI agent can work with any app. More happens in the background, less time on your phone. More time on what matters to you. This is where flagship experiences are no longer defined by a single device. They are defined by the intelligence that connects everything together, where the user experience itself becomes the flagship. and our galaxy devices are already among the first to bring that to life through Gemini intelligence. For more on that, please welcome Rick to the stage.
Hello Rick. Thank you for coming. Good to see you.

Hi everyone. Thank you for that. It's wonderful to be here with you all at uh Galaxy Unpacked in London and we're so proud of Google's deep longstanding partnership with Samsung. It's our collaboration come to life on these cutting edge devices. Now, Android has always been the platform for open innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on mobile. And that's why we've been evolving Android from an operating system that helps you get things done to an intelligent system that get intelligence demonstrates what's possible, bringing the best of Gemini to the most advanced devices. Now, while it's still early days, this vision is starting to take shape for you on the new Galaxy Foldables. We're bringing the next generation of task automation to these devices. Gemini can now use advanced reasoning to understand your screen context, parse complex images as prompts, and execute multi-step actions across apps. This means you can snap a photo of an item and ask Gemini to buy a similar budget friendly one or book local experiences all with a single prompt. Gemini handles the app navigation behind the scenes letting you track live progress or you can just put your phone away if you want and review and confirm the final details later. We're expanding automation support for over 40 popular apps in brand new categories like retail, dinner reservations, travel, and event tickets with many more apps, regions, and languages. All coming soon.
And along with handle your digital chores, Gemini scales up to manage your largest projects. Earlier, Cadesh showed you Gemini Notebook, a personalized thinking partner powered by Gemini's advanced multimodal models. You can take photos or documents you've pulled up on your phone and drag them over to the Gemini Notebook app. From there, Gemini Notebook connects the dots across all your sources to give you more accurate contextual answers. And because it natively processes text, audio, and visuals, it can generate high quality outputs tailored to how you learn best, like custom podcasts or slide decks on the fly. To make sure you can really run with this, the new Gemini notebook app will come pre-installed on all of Samsung's new foldables. And we're also including 6 months of Google AI Pro on every Z Flip 8 and ZFold 8 series device. With that, you'll get higher generation limits and more sources per notebook to tackle your most ambitious projects. Together with Samsung, we're redefining this new era of mobile computing. And we're also going beyond the phone. Gemini Intelligence is coming to devices across the ecosystem, including our new intelligent eyewear collaboration with Samsung and our friends at Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. These glasses let you take calls, listen to music, and capture photos. And with Gemini, you can do even more hands-free. Just ask, and you can search what you see. You can order your favorite coffee on your ride into work. Or you can book a reservation at a restaurant you just passed by. All the while staying hands-free, heads up, and looking incredibly stylish. You'll hear a lot more about this from Wanjun later. Today is just the beginning. We're moving very fast to roll out new Gemini intelligence featuring the future first. Thank you very much and enjoy the rest of Unpacked.

As AI does more on your behalf, trust is everything because the more capable AI becomes, the more important it is that you stay in control. Some say increased user control means passing the burden onto them. Control is not a burden. It is your right. Real trust starts when you are the one deciding. Only the agents preverify by Android can run automation on Galaxy devices. Each one requires your permission per app before it can access anything. Protection is built directly into the system. But bringing these intelligent experiences to life takes powerful performance. To tell you more, please welcome Cristiano.

Good afternoon everyone. It's really great to be here. Thank you for Samsung and One Jun for the opportunity. For nearly 30 years, Samsung and Qualcomm have engineer the future of mobile. It's a rare partnership. It's one built on innovation, technical collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible within the Galaxy ecosystem. And now, Qualcomm, together with Samsung and Google, is helping build the next generation of Galaxy experiences with AI to deliver new intelligent capabilities. Those incredible Galaxy devices need more processing power and battery life. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy provides the performance and efficiency needed to make that possible. It combines our latest CPU, GPU, and NPU to enable AI processing, advanced computing, and leading connectivity. A few of the capabilities Snapdragon brings to the Galaxy Foldables lineup include a third generation Qualcon Orion CPU, the world's fastest for mobile, a next generation Adreno GPU with enhanced graphics for richer console quality mobile gaming, and an Exagon NPU designed to run intelligence directly on the device, enabling more personalized and context Textaware Galaxy AI.
The Qualcomm and Samsung partnership is also expanding into smart wearables. This is one of the most exciting areas in consumer technology right now as new form factors emerge enabling completely new experiences in AI companions. For the very first time, Snapdragon wear Elite is powering Samsung Galaxy watches, enabling new levels of performance, efficiency, and connected health features, including an advanced CPU and GPU that support new intelligent features and more seamless experiences and an ultraefficient architecture that enables longer battery life and faster charging. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 benefits from Snapdragon Elitees Bluetooth offloading, enabling connectivity with external sensors for more proactive health and fitness insights. Across all of these devices, Snapdragon helps bring Galaxy AI to life, making interactions feel effortless while keeping your data private. As AI evolves from answering questions to understanding intents and taking action, our personal devices will become end points for agents. That makes high performance, power efficient computing and reliable connectivity on the device even more important. This is where the strength of all the three companies come together. Samsung is creating a more connected Galaxy ecosystem. Google is advancing Gemini intelligence on Android and Qualcomm is delivering the computing and connectivity that makes it possible. We have an incredible opportunity to re-imagine mobile for the age of a Gent AI and we're proud that Snapdragon continues to power and grow across the Galaxy ecosystem from phones and laptops to watches and XR devices with more to come. Congratulations TMRO W Jun and the entire Samsung team on today launches. We're very grateful for our partnership and we look forward to continue with you on this journey. Thank you so much for the opportunity to talk to you.

This is our intelligent eyeear, a new form factor that brings AI closer to everyday life. Built through the Google, it is our next milestone in the Android XR journey. This is the beginning of our intelligent eyeware roadmap starting with a non-dis model because we believe the most powerful AI starts with what you hear. It's an interface that's audio forward, ambient, and invisible, moving with you throughout the day. Our approach to wearable AI shaped everything about this device because this is something you wear every day. It has to be more than technology. It has to feel like part of your identity.
I wear that you choose because it reflects who you are. So we partner with two iconic names in eyewear. Gentle monster and WBY Parker. Together, we have created intelligent eyewear that fuses technology and design into one experience. The challenge wasn't only what these glasses can do. It was also whether you want to wear them all day. With eyewear, every gram is a conscious decision. We engineered the seamless hinge design that blends into the frame, eliminating bur while maintaining structural integrity. No distraction, just a clean silhouette. The result is a design that is lighter than most comparable AI glasses. A significant structural improvement. But lightweight alone wasn't enough. We also had to balance strength, battery life, and intelligence in a form that felt like everyday eyewear. This is where decades of Samsung engineering came into play. These glasses are designed for the full rhythm of your day. With up to nine hours on a single charge, you can leave in the morning, come back in the evening, and they are still going. The case can charge them more than seven times. extending this experience across multiple days.
What's most exciting is the way this intelligent eyeear shows up in spontaneous moments seamlessly instantly like your child taking their first step or your pet being completely ridiculous. By the time you find your phone and open your camera, the moment has already passed. With these glasses, there's no need to fumble. Just press the button on the frame and the moment is yours. At work, you can ask your glasses to summarize meeting notes on the whiteboard and to save them into Samsung notes. At home, ask for the next step in a recipe or share a live moment with a friend through video call on Google Meet. Of course, these glasses are most powerful as part of your Galaxy ecosystem. Your Galaxy Watch becomes your control for your eyewear experience. Double pinch to answer phone call or tap to capture what you are seeing. Everything flows into your Galaxy phone with a dedicated photo album for easy access. This is how your Galaxy experience expands, bringing your devices together.
You will meet our new intelligent eyeware this coming fall with a full collections from Gentle Monster and Wabby Parker.
What you've seen today isn't just a lineup of new products. It is our answer to one simple question. How can our technology help you in meaningful ways? Not just to help you do more, but to give you more time, more ease, more moments that feel like yours. From foldables to watches and glasses, every device was designed with you in mind, to be useful to you. Galaxy AI brings it all together, quietly working in the background so you can focus on what matters to you. A companion that supports you however and whenever you need. Built with openness. Built with the best partners. The next chapter of Galaxy starts today and it begins with you.

For what I think is going to work sort of hugs the sculpture. Those ideas are going to work. How it comes together,
right? Okay. And then imagine it waiting.
Yeah.
It's your time.
Go. Spread your wings and picture it in your mind. And now we're flying high. We touch the sky. And the moment oh comes alive.
