'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

Samsung announces Galaxy Watch 4 bespoke edition
Samsung wants its devices to be more personal for its customers. In order to make that possible, Samsung will allow Galaxy Z Flip 3 customers to create their own Bespoke Edition of the phone with multiple colors -- up to 49 combinations in total.
In addition to a custom-look Z Flip 3, Samsung is also bringing the same customization features to the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic by allowing customers to pick their case and band instead. You can check out all of the combinations for the Galaxy Watch 4 on the Bespoke Edition website for both the Z Flip 3 and the Watch 4.
Samsung also announced a Maison Kitsune Edition Galaxy Watch 4 model with matching Galaxy Buds 2.
In addition to customization options, the Galaxy Watch 4 is receiving a software update that should start rolling out today. The update adds several new features to the watch, including a new "knock, knock" gesture control that you can customize to open an app, your workouts list or turn on a light.
Four new watch faces are also included in the update, with options that focus on specific information. For example, there's a new face that focuses on weather or another new face that focuses on health and your activity. The Animals watch face supports up to four complications.
Finally, the Watch 4 is gaining fall detection at all times. Previously, the Watch 4 could only detect a fall during a workout -- now it can detect a fall whenever you wear it.
Orders for the new Bespoke Edition Z Flip 3 start today, along with the new Bespoke Edition Watch 4 and or the special edition model.
