Two weeks ahead of the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, Samsung Electronics unveiled the next frontier of Galaxy AI with Galaxy Unpacked 2024 on July 10 (local time) at the Carrousel du Louvre — located underground the historic Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

 

 

 

Attendees were greeted by Galaxy Unpacked 2024 banners around the venue where an inverted glass pyramid reminiscent of the Louvre Museum stands.

 

The expanded power of Galaxy AI took center stage as Samsung debuted a new set of products including the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Buds3 series.

“Because life-enhancing innovations should be open to all, we have been putting Galaxy AI into the hands of more people around the world. Galaxy AI will be available on 200 million Galaxy devices this year,” said TM Roh, President and Head of the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, in his keynote address. “Today, I am excited to announce we are building the Galaxy AI ecosystem in a way only Samsung can. We are proactively collaborating with industry leaders to develop and deploy safe and inclusive AI technology.”
