The summer is soon coming to an end, which can only mean one thing: Samsung is about to reveal a ton of brand-new devices like Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold.
The date of Wednesday, July 26 for the following Unpacked event has just been announced by Samsung. Unpacked will take place in Korea for the first time this year, as the firm previously revealed. You will be able to watch the live stream from the comfort of your own home for free, just like with previous Unpacked events.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold: Expectations
The most recent Unpacked is anticipated to be a spectacular event. This is where we predict Samsung will reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in terms of smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s design and somewhat improved specifications are offered by the Fold 5, which is anticipated to be a pretty small improvement. A new water drop hinge design, which will allow the phone to finally close entirely shut without an unattractive gap, is the major upgrade we’re anticipating.
The Z Flip 5 should be more thrilling. The Flip 5 is extremely likely to include a cover screen that is significantly bigger than the Galaxy Z Flip 4—possibly increasing from 1.9 inches to 3.4 inches. Although it’s still unknown if you’ll be able to run any Android apps on the cover screen (as you can on the Motorola Razr Plus), reports suggest that you’ll be able to run some optimized Samsung and Google apps on it.
But we expect more than just phones. Samsung is also anticipated to reveal its Galaxy Watch 6 line of smartwatches, which includes the entry-level Galaxy Watch 6 and the more expensive Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The latter is probably a replacement for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from a year ago, and unlike that watch, we anticipate that the Watch 6 Classic will feature Samsung’s recognizable spinning bezel once again.
And if tablets are more your style than smartphones and wearables, Unpacked should have plenty of them—three, to be specific. The Galaxy Tab S9 family of tablets, which should include the normal Tab S9, the Tab S9 Plus, and the Tab S9 Ultra, is likely to be introduced here, according to our suspicions.
When is Seoul Samsung Unpacked event?
Unpacked will begin on Wednesday, July 26, at 7:00 a.m. ET/4:00 a.m. PT, which is a little earlier than normal given that it is taking place in Korea.
The live stream will be accessible “across Samsung’s various channels,” which will include Samsung’s own website and YouTube.
Samsung is additionally starting early device registrations. You may earn a $50 Samsung credit by going to Samsung’s website, completing a short form, and using it when preorders for future products go live. While not a significant discount, it is a no-obligation offer that ensures you will pay $50 less when preorders become available.
It’s also common for Samsung to introduce new smartwatches in August, so it’s feasible that the rumored Galaxy Watch 6 will debut during this month’s presentation. The popular rotating bezel may be back on the upcoming high-end Galaxy Watch, which is most likely to be called the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, according to leaks from Ice Universe and renowned gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (via the blog My Smart Price).
