Engadget Podcast: Samsung’s foldable summer
Samsung made a huge flex this week by hosting its first Unpacked event in Seoul, South Korea (sorry NYC!). In this episode, Cherlynn, Devindra and Senior Writer Sam Rutherford dive into all of Samsung's news: The Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, Watch 6 and Tab S9. Is Samsung playing it safe this year, or is it actually bringing something new to the world of foldables? Also, we discuss Twitter's rebrand to X" (sigh), as well as why astrophysicist Avi Loeb is likely wrong about his extraterrestrial alien balls.
