This "open ecosystem" and "spirit of collaboration" is a clear jab at Apple - arguably Samsung's number one rival when it comes to these high-end devices.
Samsung has also collaborated with Microsoft's Xbox to allow gaming on the Note 20.
Onto the latest generation of Samsung's Galaxy Bud wireless earphones.
The Galaxy Buds Live. They come in three colours: Mystic White, Mystic Black and, of course, Mystic Bronze.
They're designed to be worn all day, thanks to active noise-cancelling technology that allows you to cut low-band background noise but still hear people's voices around you.
"Even better, they don't have that awkward stem sticking out," Samsung says.
They have 6 hours non-stop listening and 21 hours of charge time from the case.
A cool new feature is being able to connect two sets of Galaxy Buds Live at the same time.
The Galaxy Watch 3 is 14 per cent thinner, 8 per cent smaller and 15 per cent lighter than the previous Galaxy Watch.
