On the 10th (local time), near the end of the 'Galaxy Unpacked 2024' event held at Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France, President Noh said this. Rick Osterloh, Vice President of Google Platform & Devices, also said, "To deliver next-generation experiences to users, we are collaborating with Samsung and Qualcomm, while also preparing future technologies such as XR," adding, "Please keep watching."

The 'Carrousel du Louvre,' where the Unpacked event took place, is an underground complex connected to the Louvre Museum, a landmark of Paris. Samsung Electronics, an official partner of the Olympics, held the event in Paris, where global attention is focused ahead of the Paris Olympics, which will take place for about two weeks starting on the 26th. Influencers such as B-girl dancer Yeri and actress Sydney Sweeney, as well as about 1,000 domestic and international journalists, filled the seats.

Although the specific form of the platform was not disclosed, according to industry sources and IT tipsters, Samsung Electronics is known to be developing Samsung Glass and a headset. At the 'Unpacked 2023' event held in San Francisco, USA, last February, President Noh announced, "We will build the next-generation XR ecosystem with Qualcomm and Google."

Lucas Zakar, a reporter from Slovakian IT media Techbyte, said, "The product that interests me the most among the new products is the Galaxy Ring," adding, "I like active exercise, and it seems it will help measure health information." He continued, "It hardly feels like wearing a ring, so it seems possible to wear it while sleeping." The interview was conducted using the interpretation function of the 'Galaxy Z Flip6' provided at the experience center.

Agustin, a reporter from Indonesian media Liputan6, said, "The Galaxy Ring and Z Flip6 were the best," adding, "Among the healthcare functions, the feature that helps regulate sleep habits seems useful."

A Samsung Electronics official also expressed high expectations for the Galaxy Ring. Honpak, head of the Digital Health Team at Samsung Electronics' MX Division, said, "(People around me) say it is very good." However, he added, "The exact reaction will be known later."
