Samsung brings the pretty with its new prismatic color.

Samsung's summer Unpacked event, traditionally the company's annual unveiling of its big-screen Galaxy Note line of phones, brought us the Galaxy Note 10. We went into the event with some big expectations for it. The event took place just weeks after the company announced that the Galaxy Fold will relaunch sometime in September after fixing problems with the screen. But the Note, which used to be the flagship in which Samsung debuted the latest and greatest technologies, has some work to do to get out of the shadow of the Fold. And as frequently happens when newer, pricier models are announced, it may make the Note 9 more attractive to some people.

Samsung also whipped out the Galaxy Book S, a superthin, Qualcomm-based laptop for $999. In addition, the company brought out a new Under Armour edition for the recently announced Galaxy Watch Active 2. But its Galaxy Home smart speaker was nowhere to be seen, yet again.
