Pre-release leaks may have spoiled most of the surprises Samsung had up its sleeve for Wednesday's Unpacked event, but there were still some interesting details to gleam from the presentation.

As for Samsung's smartwatches, everything's a squircle now. Mimicking last year's Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Watch8 series keeps the circular display but stuffs it into a squircle case, a weird Franken-watch design language that might have you asking, “What happened?” (Samsung calls this its “Cushion” design, which is a choice.)
