If Pokémon is more your thing than Star Wars, Samsung also has a holiday treat for you. There are a bunch of Pokémon-themed accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip4, Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and Galaxy Watch5 Series. The new accessories are inspired by Pokémon from the Kanto region and, of course, there's a Poké Ball, too. The Galaxy Z Flip4 Ring Cover has four beloved Pokémon characters on the silicone case. It's available for US$50 (around CA$70). There's also a new Poké Ball Watch Strap for the Galaxy Watch5. That costs US$40 (~CA$55).

Meanwhile, Galaxy Buds2 Pro owners (or those with the Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Buds Live, and Galaxy Buds Pro) can get a Poké Ball Cover for your pair of earbuds. Not only is it a cute case, but it also helps protect your earbuds. This also retails for US$40. These accessories are coming to the US this December 26.

Samsung launches Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro

The last pair of devices Samsung launched are a couple of smartwatches. We aren't just getting a Galaxy Watch5 but a Watch5 Pro, too. The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 is the more casual model. It has an armour aluminum case paired with a sports band. Unlike its predecessor, though, the rotating bezel is gone. There are two sizes: 44mm and 40mm. 

Without the rotating bezel, it has an edge-to-edge screen. It can still track your health data with the help of sensors like its three-in-one bioactive sensor, temperature sensor, barometer, accelerometer, and more. You can get information on length and quality of sleep, heart rate, stress level, blood oxygen, ECG, and more. The Galaxy Watch5 gets 284mAh (40mm) and 410mAh (44mm) batteries, which are 13 percent larger than their predecessors.
