Samsung's summer Unpacked event was a big one for its wearable devices. The long-teased Samsung Galaxy Ring was given much buzz for good reason. It'll come in three colors and sizes 5 through 13, and is slated to debut alongside Samsung's typical refresh cycle for its Galaxy Watch and the foldable Galaxy Z Flip and Fold phones. CNET covered Wednesday's Galaxy Unpacked event live. We were able to gather details about how to preorder the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Ring so we could share them with you.
