Samsung's 'Unpacked' event

Samsung's Unpacked 5 event is drawing near... and for those who don't know... it's going to be BIG. In late February, Samsung visited the MWC event in Spain to announce their next flagship phone, the Galaxy S5. However, they also announced an entire line of new tech to go along with it.

The Galaxy S5 was the most anticipated product at the event, and in Samsung's words, their highly popular phone line was going to be heading "back to the basics." After reviewing some of the S5's specs, it certainly looks that way. A slightly larger screen (though not by much), a better front-facing camera (for those selfie pics you'll put up on Instagram), and a few software changes that will surely make navigating the phone much easier than its predecessors.

The S5 is going to be a solid phone. However, something else stole the show. Something that was very unexpected, but a pleasant surprise.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 and the Samsung Gear Fit.

The Gear 2 is simply a better, more attractive version of the standard wristwatch than its original. It now operates on the Tizen software instead of Android, opening up a number of possibilities as far as functionality is concerned. But perhaps what was even more exciting than the Gear... was the Gear Fit.

Curved OLED screen. Heart-rate monitor. Fitness tracker. Alarm. And it can tell time.

The Gear Fit is, for all intents and purposes, Samsung's Next Big Thing. It's going to be interesting to see how the fitness tracker will be accepted in the mainstream market. Chances are it will be received with praise and many will opt for the Fit over the regular Gear 2 watch.

Though, only time will tell.

The Samsung S5, Gear 2, and Gear Fit will launch in April of 2014.
