Additionally, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, both available for pre-order starting July 10 and generally available from July 24.

"Today, we reaffirm our commitment to leveraging technology's potential to benefit society in unprecedented ways," Roh remarked.

He highlighted that Galaxy AI will be integrated into 200 million devices by year-end, foreseeing profound impact.

"All products except Galaxy Ring are available for pre-booking from July 10, with general availability starting July 24," Roh concluded.
