Time Redefined: Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic Fuses Heritage with High-Tech Intelligence

 In a market saturated with wearables chasing minimalism and touch-only interfaces, Samsung has chosen a different path for its latest flagship timepiece where one paved with heritage, refinement, and intelligence. The newly launched Galaxy Watch8 Classic isn’t just a smartwatch. It’s a statement.

Brought back by popular demand, the iconic rotating bezel returns with a satisfying click, offering tactile precision in a sea of swipe fatigue. Nestled within a sleek 46mm stainless steel frame, the Watch8 Classic is Samsung’s bold answer to a modern user’s biggest question: Can a smartwatch be smart, stylish, and deeply human? The answer, it turns out, is a confident yes.

A Timepiece That Honors Its Roots

While many smartwatches lean aggressively toward sport or fashion, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic walks a more elegant line. With a newly designed cushion-style silhouette and polished stainless steel casing, the watch carries the DNA of a traditional timepiece;  the kind your father might have worn and updated for today’s digitally connected world.

But this isn’t just a nod to nostalgia. A newly added Quick Button now sits beside the bezel, allowing users to instantly launch workouts, apps, or smart functions. It’s discreet, responsive, and immensely useful especially when paired with Samsung’s growing Galaxy AI ecosystem.

The Bezel Is Back 

The rotating bezel may seem like a minor feature in the era of gesture control, but it’s one of the most intuitive design decisions Samsung has ever made. There's something almost analog about it — and yet, its function is completely digital. You can scroll through apps, zoom in on maps, navigate menus — all with a flick of the wrist.

In fact, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung’s more rugged sibling, lacks this feature entirely — making the Watch8 Classic a purist’s dream and a functional marvel.

Smarter Than Ever: Powered by Galaxy AI and Google Gemini

The Watch8 Classic marks a major leap with the integration of Galaxy AI and Google Gemini. Voice commands are now smarter and more context-aware. Say, “Summarise my last email,” or “What’s on my schedule today?” and you’ll get quick, accurate responses with no more fiddling with small screens.

Better still, the Watch8 Classic plays perfectly with your smart home. Control your Google Home or Samsung SmartThings devices on-wrist like dim the lights, check the aircon, lock the doors and more all without touching your phone.

Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch OS also introduces the Now Bar, a dynamic new interface that shows currently running apps and helps streamline multitasking. It’s a small feature that makes a big difference.

Health Tracking That Goes Beyond Steps

Wellness is now personal. The Watch8 Classic brings a new level of depth to health monitoring with features that feel pulled from a sci-fi film but work brilliantly in real life.

Among them:

• Sleep Apnea Detection, monitoring for oxygen drops while you sleep.
• Energy Score, combining heart rate variability, sleep, and activity into a daily wellness number.
• Vascular Load Tracking, a new frontier in cardiovascular wearables.
• Real-time Running Coach, Body Composition Analysis, and AGEs Index for cellular health.

Whether you’re training for the KL Marathon or just trying to sleep better, the Watch8 Classic is more coach than companion.

 Display and Durability Fit for Malaysia

Built for tropical unpredictability and urban grit, the watch is both refined and robust. Its 1.34” Super AMOLED screen, shielded by Sapphire Crystal Glass, now reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness — meaning you can read your notifications even under the scorching midday sun in Damansara or while hiking in Broga Hill.

Rated 5ATM, IP68, and MIL-STD-810H, it shrugs off water, dust, shock, and sudden weather shifts. Whether you're in a boardroom or on a beach in Langkawi, it’s built to keep up.

Battery life sits comfortably at up to 30 hours with Always-On Display enabled, supported by fast wireless charging. A 30-minute charge can easily power a full day of activity.

Design That Evolves With You

Offered in Graphite, Camel, and a standout Mint, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic also introduces a Dynamic Lug System, allowing for swift and secure strap changes. Samsung’s band options from leather to hybrid, athleisure to sport which  ensure the watch feels just as comfortable with your weekend batik as it does with a blazer or baju Melayu.

 Availability & Price in Malaysia

The Galaxy Watch8 Classic is now available at:

RM1,799 for the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version

RM2,099 for the LTE variant

Available across all Samsung Experience Stores, authorised retailers, and online.

Final Verdict: A Classic, Reimagined

There are smartwatches that follow trends, and then there are those that define them. The Galaxy Watch8 Classic falls squarely in the latter category :  a watch that understands where it came from, where it’s going, and who it's built for

It’s not just a gadget. It’s a tool for living better - smarter, healthier, and more connected  without losing touch with time.

In a world that’s constantly racing forward, Samsung has gifted us a rare thing: a reason to pause, look down, and appreciate how far a good watch can go.

[Galaxy Unpacked 2025] A First Look at the Galaxy Z Fold7: Unfolding a New Standard in Foldable Design

 On July 9, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold7 at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn — once again redefining innovation in foldable smartphones.

As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, the Galaxy Z Fold7 features multimodal AI capabilities, a redesigned user interface and the series’ first 200-megapixel camera. With ultra-level refinement across design and technology, the device sets a new standard for foldable smartphones.

Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Fold7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7, the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date

Design: Slimmer and Lighter

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date — measuring 4.2 millimeters when unfolded, 8.9 millimeters when folded and weighing 215 grams. Considering the inclusion of a cover display and a complex folding mechanism, these are breakthrough figures.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 4.2 millimeters thick when unfolded, shown next to two U.S. nickels for scale.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 8.9 millimeters thick when folded, shown next to a marker for scale.

The hardware innovation is immediately noticeable — significantly slimmer and more lightweight than its predecessors. The device feels closer to a bar-type smartphone in hand and is thinner than the average passport or card wallet, making it exceptionally comfortable to carry.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is noticeably lighter and more comfortable to hold.

The cover display’s wider 21:9 aspect ratio makes everyday tasks like messaging, browsing and checking email more convenient — all without unfolding the device.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover display resembles a bar-type smartphone in both form and function.

Design innovation extends to the hinge. The newly applied Armor FlexHinge is thinner while maintaining durability and the upgraded structure significantly reduces the visibility of the crease along the foldable display.

 

▲ The thinner and lighter Armor FlexHinge provides durability.

 

▲ The upgraded internal hinge structure reduces the appearance of the crease on the display.

Camera: Clarity at the Highest Resolution

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first in the Galaxy Z Fold series to feature a 200-megapixel camera — capturing four times the detail compared to its previous 50-megapixel counterpart. Paired with the AI-powered ProVisual Engine, the camera delivers sharper images and more vivid color.

  

▲ Details captured with the 200-megapixel camera

Nightography ensures crisp, clear shots even in low light, while the front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view — maximizing the advantages of the large display. From group selfies to sweeping travel scenes, the device helps frame every moment with ease.

Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Contextual Help in Real Time

The Galaxy Z Fold7 debuts with One UI 8, introducing Samsung’s new multimodal AI experience.

Thanks to Google’s Gemini Live, users can share their screen in real time while speaking with the AI assistant — enabling contextual requests based on what’s visible.

For example, when a user comes across a photo of an unfamiliar dessert, Gemini can analyze the image, identify it and recommend nearby places that serve something similar.

 ▲ Gemini Live supports screen sharing for real-time assistance.

Gemini can then save the restaurant list and set a calendar reminder — completing both tasks simultaneously. There’s no need to switch apps or copy and paste, as the AI assistant integrates seamlessly into daily routines.

 

▲ Gemini streamlines planning and coordination.

This feature becomes even more powerful when paired with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s large screen and Multi-Window.

 

▲ Multi-Window allows users to perform a variety of tasks using the large screen.

For instance, a user can display a chair on the left screen and a room on the right, then ask Gemini whether the furniture matches the interior. The AI assistant analyzes the context of both screens and offers helpful guidance.

 ▲ Gemini analyzes the image of the room, recommends a suitable chair and even converts it into the desired color.

This Galaxy-exclusive user experience enables intuitive, natural communication between users and their devices — not only through text but also via images, voice and live camera input when requesting information or assistance from AI.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond a simple evolution in design and technology, setting a new benchmark with an ultra-premium experience that integrates into every part of daily life. From cutting-edge hardware and smarter AI to a best-in-class camera, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers the true ultra experience promised by Galaxy.

[Galaxy Unpacked 2025] A First Look at the Galaxy Z Flip7: Refining the Pocketable Foldable

 

 On July 9, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn — marking another step forward in foldable innovation.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 raises the bar for flip-style smartphones, combining a compact, pocketable design with intuitive AI experiences and the largest cover screen in the Galaxy Z Flip series to date.

Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Flip7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Flip7 debuts with a full-front FlexWindow and sleek design.

Design: Larger Window in a Slimmer Frame

The Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces the Galaxy Z Flip series’ largest cover screen and its slimmest design yet. The standout 4.1-inch FlexWindow features ultra-thin 1.25-millimeter bezels, allowing the display to span nearly the entire cover — excluding the camera lens — for an expanded viewing experience. Everyday tasks such as checking schedules, replying to messages or using AI-powered features can be done without unfolding the device.

 

▲ Ultra-thin bezels allow the FlexWindow to stretch from edge to edge.

When opened, a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display is revealed. Both the FlexWindow and main display support up to 2,600 nits of brightness, a 120-hertz refresh rate and Vision Booster technology for improved outdoor visibility — delivering clear, vivid content anytime, anywhere.

 

▲ A larger main display delivers sharper visuals.

Measuring 6.5 millimeters when unfolded, 13.7 millimeters when folded and weighing 188 grams, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest yet — refining the compactness and portability that define the Galaxy Z Flip series.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Flip7 is 6.5 millimeters thick when unfolded, shown next to a pen for scale.

A durable Armor Aluminum frame and a thinner, reinforced Armor FlexHinge improve resilience while maintaining the device’s sleek silhouette.

 

▲ The Armor FlexHinge provides smooth, reliable folding over extended use.

Inside, a 4,300 mAh battery — the largest ever in the Galaxy Z Flip series — supports up to 31 hours of video playback for extended use with less worry about charging.

Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Ready-to-Go Personal Assistant

In today’s fast-paced world, relying on AI has become second nature. The Galaxy Z Flip7 takes those interactions further — offering a more intuitive, seamless experience through One UI 8, optimized for the expanded FlexWindow, and advanced multimodal AI technology.

For example, users planning a trip can check their schedule directly from the FlexWindow through Now Brief.

 

 

▲ The FlexWindow displays information such as schedules via Now Brief.

Long pressing the power button launches Google’s Gemini Live, offering travel-ready help including restaurant recommendations, weather updates and outfit suggestions using the camera.

 

▲ Gemini Live supports camera screen sharing for real-time assistance.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 moves beyond design innovation, offering an AI experience that fits naturally into everyday routines. With its pocket-friendly size and built-for-anywhere features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 elevates the standard for foldables.

2. The Lamb at Noir Cyberjaya, by Chef Ikhwan

Tucked away in Cyberjaya, Noir is a 12-seater hidden gem offering Muslim-friendly modern omakase. Among its standout dishes? The Lamb — a beautifully plated lamb noisette paired with five velvety vegetable purées and a luscious beef jus reduction.

3. Buckwheat Fried Chicken at Table & Apron, by Chef Alex Cheah & Kelvin

Fried chicken, but reimagined. At Table & Apron, Chef Alex Cheah and his twin brother Kelvin have taken a humble classic and turned it into a cult favourite. Their Buckwheat Fried Chicken is crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, with an earthy twist thanks to the nutty buckwheat flour batter.

4. New York Strip at Grub by Ahong, by Chef Ngui Yeang Hong

For meat lovers, Grub by Ahong is the place to be. Chef Ngui Yeang Hong, known simply as Ahong, dishes out honest-to-goodness steaks that speak for themselves. His signature New York Strip is thick, juicy, and unapologetically hearty — seared to perfection and served without unnecessary frills.

This no-nonsense steakhouse in Section 17 delivers soulful meals in an industrial-chic setting. Don’t miss out on their playful sides like Jjapaghetti with Steak Chunks (inspired by the film Parasite) or the Quail Chicken & Pani Puri. But trust us — the steak is the real MVP.

If you're feeling adventurous, go for the Pig Head Terrine or the elegant Tofu with Tomato Water & Soy-Cured Egg Yolk. It’s the kind of place that reinvents what you thought a weekend dinner could be.

Final Bite

Whether you're after spice, comfort, innovation, or indulgence, these five dining spots prove that KL is bursting with flavourful options. So text the group chat, book those tables, and treat yourself — your weekend feast awaits.

From 17.1 Millimetres to 8.9 Millimetres: The Journey Behind a 48% Reduction in Thickness

 Unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in New York on July 9, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is 48% thinner than the original Galaxy Fold. While overall thickness  declined by 29% across the first six generations — from the Galaxy Fold in 2019 to the Galaxy Z Fold6 in 2024 — a significant 26% reduction was achieved in just the past year. This streamlined design reflects Samsung Electronics’ continued advancements in hinge engineering and product design, delivering a more refined user experience. To highlight this milestone, Samsung Newsroom explores how the Galaxy Z Fold series has redefined thinness in foldable smartphones from 2019 to today.   Making its debut in 2019, the Galaxy Fold was Samsung’s first device to introduce the concept of foldable smartphones. With a maximum folded thickness  of 17.1 mm and a maximum unfolded thickness of 7.6 mm, the device offered the public its first look at foldable display technology. This revolutionary form factor ushered in a new mobile experience, allowing users to enjoy a widescreen display from the palm of their hand.   Introduced in 2020, the Galaxy Z Fold2 featured the Hideaway Hinge — consisting of more than 60 internal components for smoother, more flexible folding. The precision-engineered hinge integrated seamlessly into the device’s body, reducing the maximum folded thickness to 16.8mm and a maximum unfolded thickness to 6.9 mm.   In 2021, the Galaxy Z Fold3 became even more compact — measuring a maximum thickness of 16.0 mm when folded and 6.4 mm when unfolded — while also introducing support for the S Pen and IPX8-rated water resistance, both firsts for the series. Armor Aluminum was applied throughout the device to boost durability, and the upgraded Sweeper technology helped prevent dust and foreign particles from entering the hinge. These enhancements enabled a thinner, sturdier design without compromising usability.   Released in 2022, the Galaxy Z Fold4 brought notable improvements in both weight and thickness. The gear-based hinge was replaced with a linear movement mechanism, reducing internal components and resulting in a maximum folded thickness of 15.8 mm and an unfolded thickness of 6.3 mm. This redesign offered a sleeker profile and improved ergonomics while maintaining the device’s robust performance.   In 2023, the Galaxy Z Fold5 introduced the Flex Hinge, an innovative hinge mechanism with four drive shafts that enabled the display to curl inward in a water-drop shape, replacing the traditional Hideaway Hinge. This advancement enabled the two halves of the phone to close more evenly, minimising the screen crease and eliminating the gap when folded. The result was a more compact form factor, with a folded thickness of 13.4 mm and an unfolded thickness of 6.1 mm.   Unveiled in 2024, the Galaxy Z Fold6 delivered an even slimmer silhouette — just 12.1 mm when folded and 5.6 mm when unfolded. Featuring a refined structure and design of a symmetrical dual rail hinge, the device could be folded flat or opened to various angles between 75 and 115 degrees for greater versatility. This streamlined build further enhanced portability and everyday usability.   Now the thinnest Galaxy smartphone ever, the Galaxy Z Fold7 embodies years of design evolution. With a folded thickness of just 8.9 mm and an unfolded thickness of 4.2 mm, the device sets a new standard for slim foldables. At the core is the Armor FlexHinge — a new structural innovation that fuses advanced materials with an optimised design for superior durability and compactness. While the cover display of the Galaxy Z Fold6 measures 6.3 inches (158.9 mm), the Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover display extends to 6.5 inches (164.8 mm) to increase usability when the device is folded. The main display  also spans 8.0 inches (203.1 mm) when unfolded, offering an 11% larger screen area than its predecessor — the biggest in the Z Fold series to date. With each new generation, the Galaxy Z Fold series has advanced in both form and function — reducing thickness while expanding what’s possible in a mobile device. At the heart of this progress is Samsung’s continuous innovation in hinge technology. As the Galaxy Z Fold series pushes the boundaries of smartphone design, Samsung remains committed to unlocking transformative experiences with next-generation engineering and a foldable form factor like never before.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Hands-On: The Foldable We've Been Waiting For

After just a few days with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, one thing is already clear: this is the most complete, confident foldable Samsung has ever built. The Fold 7 takes a bold leap forward—finally delivering on the vision that the Galaxy Fold promised years ago.

Design 

Let’s start with the most immediate difference: the hardware. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter, and more comfortable than any foldable before it. Samsung’s redesigned hinge is slimmer and sturdier, while the reduced weight (215g) makes the Fold 7 shockingly easy to pocket. It’s so light, and so impressive that I am loving it every moment I am using. The ULTRA SLEEK DESIGN is something worth to look on! 

DISPLAY

The Fold 7’s 6.5-inch cover display gets a subtle but important update: a more natural aspect ratio that is a wow and big improvements. When its open up, the display is impressive and comes with vivid colours, with the 120Hz refresh rate. Now brighter and smoother than ever, with vivid colours and a 120Hz refresh rate, it continues to set the bar for immersive mobile multitasking. 

Performance and Galaxy AI: Seriously Smooth

Under the hood, the Fold 7 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, paired with One UI 8 and the newest Galaxy AI features. Multitasking is fluid, app launches are instant, playing games, video editing and everything is just instant. AI-powered tasks like summarisation, live translation, and photo editing are noticeably faster and more accurate, thanks to onboard processing.

Battery: Holding Steady, So Far

Despite slimming down the chassis, Samsung retained the 4,400mAh battery, and early signs are positive. The battery is impressive where I can use the phone for the whole day. 

Camera: A Serious Upgrade at Last

The Fold 7 finally earns its flagship status in the camera department. With the 200MP sensor lifted from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, this is the most powerful imaging system ever put into a Galaxy Fold. Photos are impressively detailed, colours are richer, and low-light shots show significant improvement. Samsung’s processing still leans toward contrast and saturation, but the leap in clarity and consistency is undeniable. 

With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has done what many thought impossible: create a foldable that finally feels finished. It’s not just a showcase of what's possible—it’s a compelling, polished product that delivers where it matters: comfort, usability, performance, and camera.  Whether you're upgrading from an older Fold or entering the foldable scene for the first time, this is the one to get.

Comes in 4 colours which are Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet Black and Mint. Price from RM 7.799.00 onwards
