Samsung presenters even shouted out the group\u2019s song \u201cBoom Boom Bass\u201d as an ideal track to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tRIIZE was also given a shoutout by Samsung executives during the event, as a spotlight shone on the six members sitting in the front row of the packed conference room. The group then made their way outside to a patio area of the Wynn, where they posed for photographers and a crowd of tech journalists who had suddenly turned into frenzied fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tEarlier in the day, the members had time to test out some of the newly-unveiled Samsung products at CES. The group was among the first people to get their hands on Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy Z TriFold phone \u2014 yes, a tri-fold \u2014 which unfurls to reveal a 10-inch display, the largest screen ever on a Galaxy phone. When flat, it\u2019s like having three 6.5-inch smartphones in one device, and the Galaxy Z TriFold lets you run separate and multiple apps on each \u201csection\u201d of the display, functioning much like a computer. Samsung\u2019s \u201cArmor FlexHinge\u201d creates virtually no gap between the panels, and the screen is totally flat when unfolded, with no raised edges or bumps. When folded, the TriFold is surprisingly thin, measuring just under 4mm thick. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/013-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-combo.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSamsung Electronics<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe Galaxy Z TriFold has all the bells and whistles Android users have come to expect from Samsung too, like a 200MP camera, up to 30x zoom capabilities, a three-cell battery system (one for each of the three panels), and advanced AI technology that can help with everything from fine-tuning photos to translating foreign menus.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/pmc_0aaa4_rollingstone?q=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DVia2VsmyFkg%26mid%3D47773%26u1%3DRS%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.samsung.com%252Fus%252Fsmartphones%252Fgalaxy-z-fold7%252Fbuy%252Fgalaxy-z-fold7-512gb-unlocked-sku-sm-f966udbexaa&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Ftech%2Friize-samsung-ces-2026-event-products-galaxy-trifold-phone-1235495733%2F&amp;ref=pmcTrackonomicsReferrer&amp;event_type=click\" class=\"c-lazy-image__link lrv-a-unstyle-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-white lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/galaxy-z-fold7.webp\" alt=\"galaxy z fold7\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"\" width=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tGalaxy Z Fold7\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-dek  paragraph lrv-u-order-100 lrv-u-margin-t-150 lrv-u-margin-t-2@mobile-max lrv-a-font-body-l lrv-u-margin-b-00\">\n\t\tThe Galaxy Z TriFold launches later this year but if you can\u2019t wait, Samsung\u2019s current foldable \u2014 the Galaxy Z Fold7 \u2014 is available now online in three colors.

The TV features what Samsung says is its \u201cwidest and most detailed\u201d color spectrum ever, while the RGB light source features millions of tiny diodes that work to blast brighter, crisper, more vivid projections. Sungchan, meantime, activated the TV\u2019s \u201cAI Soccer Mode,\u201d which uses AI to automatically upscale picture and sound to its highest possible quality. Viewers can also ask Samsung\u2019s AI technology to pull up stats about the game, betting odds, and even remove the commentary from the live feed, so you can watch the game without annoying chatter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSamsung officials told the CES crowd that the company has been the \u201cworld\u2019s number one TV brand for 20 years straight,\u201d reporting more than 830 million units sold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tRIIZE, meantime, has been helping to promote multiple Samsung products, including the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/pmc_0aaa4_rollingstone?q=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DVia2VsmyFkg%26mid%3D47773%26u1%3DRS%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.samsung.com%252Fus%252Fmobile-audio%252Fgalaxy-buds3-pro%252Fbuy%252Fgalaxy-buds3-pro-silver-sm-r630nzaaxar&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Ftech%2Friize-samsung-ces-2026-event-products-galaxy-trifold-phone-1235495733%2F&amp;ref=pmcTrackonomicsReferrer&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds<\/a> (which won an innovation award at last year\u2019s CES), and the Galaxy Watch8, the brand\u2019s latest smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/pmc_0aaa4_rollingstone?q=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DVia2VsmyFkg%26mid%3D47773%26u1%3DRS%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.samsung.com%252Fus%252Fwatches%252Fgalaxy-watch8-classic%252Fbuy%252Fgalaxy-watch8-classic-46mm-black-wi-fi-bluetooth-sku-sm-l500nzkdxaa&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Ftech%2Friize-samsung-ces-2026-event-products-galaxy-trifold-phone-1235495733%2F&amp;ref=pmcTrackonomicsReferrer&amp;event_type=click\" class=\"c-lazy-image__link lrv-a-unstyle-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-white lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/galaxy-watch-8.webp\" alt=\"galaxy watch 8\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"\" width=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tGalaxy Watch8 Classic\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-dek  paragraph lrv-u-order-100 lrv-u-margin-t-150 lrv-u-margin-t-2@mobile-max lrv-a-font-body-l lrv-u-margin-b-00\">\n\t\tWe like the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, which features a handsome dial that\u2019s reminiscent of a luxury watch rather than a fitness tracker.
