“We’re continuing to refine and enhance the Galaxy Home prior to launch, and look forward to sharing more with Galaxy fans soon,” the company told Engadget in a statement. So, the release date and pricing of Galaxy Home remains a bit of a mystery for now, as it’s still a work in progress.

When Engadget tried the smart speaker at CES in January, it was fairly clear Samsung needed to give Galaxy Home (and Bixby) a little more polish before bringing it to stores. But while it’s somewhat encouraging Samsung wants to make sure Galaxy Home is a solid product, the longer the company waits to start selling it, the more potential market share it’s ceding to the likes of Amazon, Google, Apple and Sonos.

Get a load of this absolute unit. This thing’s big enough to bludgeon an NYC subway rat and not even get your hands wet. Its AMOLED screen spans 6.8 inches, its Snapdragon processor draws on 12GB of RAM, its battery, a chunky 4,300 mAh. So yes, you will pay through the nose. Get your hanky ready and blow out $1,100 ($1,200 if you want to future proof it against 5G) .

50 percent of this headline is fantastic news. The other 50 percent is terrible news. I leave it to you to decide which is which.

23 hours, that’s how long Samsung’s new clamshell laptop is rated to last on a single charge. The company also tossed in a pair of USB-C ports, a headphone jack (squee!) and a 13-inch touchscreen for literally less than what their phone costs.

The S Pen has learned a number of new tricks since its debut with the Galaxy Note 9. Back in the day it was little more than a stylus with some light remote control capabilities. But this new iteration is another beast entirely, capable of activating shortcuts and special commands simply by wiggling the S Pen at the screen.

If your hands have ever been compared to those of a Sasquatch, or at least a Wookie, your best bet is to pony up for the added screen space of the Galaxy Note 10+. But, if you are a normal-sized adult with normal-sized adult hands and don’t mind slightly lower display and processor performance, give the normal-sized adult Galaxy Note 10 a gander.

At its Galaxy Unpacked event today in Brooklyn, Samsung unveiled the latest additions to its Galaxy Note lineup — the Note 10 and Note 10+. Unlike prior Note releases, Samsung’s phone comes in two sizes to suit user preferences. The Note 10’s display is 6.3 inches and the Note 10+, with a display that measures at a whopping 6.8 inches, is Samsung’s largest phone screen to date.

Samsung President and CEO DJ Koh in the keynote made the point that future innovations wouldn’t be just about devices — but also new services and ecosystems. That being said, as devices the Note 10 and Note 10+ hold up on their own. Both are packed with features and improvements not seen before in its predecessors, as well as a few significant omissions: Neither have the Bixby button or a headphone jack. The larger Note 10 has four cameras on the back, including one specifically for AR video and drawing. Note 10’s stylus, the S Pen, got a significant upgrade — including a 6-axis sensor that lets users take pictures, zoom in and switch camera perspective with a gesture.

Priced at $949, the Note 10 comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Note 10+ starts at $1,099 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, or you can spend $100 more to get 512GB of storage. They’re available in a prismatic color range; Aura Glow, Aura White and Aura Black. Both phones are available to pre-order today, and will be available for sale on August 23rd. Here’s a rundown of all the major announcements from the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event today.

Samsung kept things pretty minimal with the Galaxy Book S. There’s only a single USB-C port on the right edge, while another USB-C slot and a headphone jack are all you’ll find on the left. Tucked under this pair of ports is a SIM card slot that also has a spot for a microSD card.

This is also the first system we’ve seen actually using the made-for-PC Snapdragon 8cx chipset that Qualcomm announced in December. Lenovo announced a 5G laptop in May that also uses the same CPU, but that felt more like a prototype than a fully ready product. The Snapdragon 8cx promises performance and battery boosts that is meant to rival an Intel U-series option on speed. As for runtime, Samsung estimates the Galaxy Book S will last 23 hours on a charge, though it didn’t clarify what sort of use that would be. That seems in line with other Snapdragon PCs that, in my experience, lasted about the 20 or so hours that their makers promised.

That battery estimate seems reasonable in part because the Book S’ 13-inch screen runs at just full HD. It was smooth enough in my testing, and I was able to pinch and zoom or scroll through a website easily. The trackpad was similarly responsive, though I wish the keyboard had more travel. I’m not going to complain too much though, it’s hard to squeeze in more depth on a laptop this thin.

To use AR Doodle, the user first takes a picture or video of the subject, then adds lettering and other effects to the scene. The Note 10 tracks where all of the effects are “pinned” in the local space, enabling the doodles to repopulate if the user leaves the room and then returns. The app also offers facial recognition, so anything you draw around your subject’s head will reappear the next time they’re in frame. And since individual effects and animations remain fixed in their relative positions, you’ll be able to see them from different angles simply by walking around the room.

AR Doodle should be good for a laugh or two with your friends but as Engadget reporter Cherlynn Low notes from the press conference, “This seems like a fun feature, but not something I’m particularly aching to try.”

While we’re waiting for news on the foldable Galaxy phone, Samsung is still planning its usual big event to launch the next Galaxy Note. According to CNET, we should expect the company’s annual Unpacked event to take place on August 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Along with 5G devices and the Galaxy Fold, the device we’re expecting to see arrive as the Galaxy Note 10 is supposed to help Samsung strengthen its leadership in premium phones. This is the device that led the way for super-sized smartphones, and it will be interesting to see how it evolves as so many competitors get bigger, and foldable devices eventually take over the size crown.

We liked the Galaxy Note 9 when it launched last year, but we weren’t thrilled about the version of Android it shipped with. Hopefully any software issues are resolved this time around, and it includes improved support for AI assistants other than Bixby.
