Samsung just made its next Galaxy Unpacked event official – here’s what we know
After numerous leaks and reports about foldable phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and even a smart ring, Samsung has just announced its next Galaxy Unpacked event. All eyes will be on the city of love – Paris – and, judging by the invitation, on foldable devices.
Samsung will officially unveil its new products on July 10, 2024, with an event starting at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BT. Like previous Galaxy Unpacked events, it will be streamed live and Ny Breaking will be on site in Paris to unpack everything announced.
Considering all the leaks and the fact that Samsung typically uses its summer Unpacked to unveil the latest foldable Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip phones, we have a pretty good idea of what we’ll see.
Expect foldable phones and lots of Galaxy AI
Just from the invite Samsung shared, we see something unfolding front and center – which hints at the Galaxy Z Fold, which folds from a standard phone to a tablet, or the Z Flip, a modern flip phone.
It casts an interesting starry shadow that resembles Samsung’s Galaxy AI logo for its range of AI-powered features, including image editing, summarizing in notes, and even generating text for messages.
The invite doesn’t hint at much else, but we know there will be a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024, which will be streamed live on Samsung.com.
The video teaser gives us a little more, and you can watch it above. We see that foldable statue spinning around, showing the Eiffel Tower on the first spring, a reference to the location of Galaxy Unpacked, and then showing off the Galaxy AI logo.
We expect Samsung to show off the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which we expect will have similar designs to last year, with faster performance from the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and a slew of Galaxy AI features. If you’re looking for better cameras, the Flip 6 will likely get more of a hardware upgrade than the Fold 6.
In addition to foldable phones, Samsung should unveil new wearables including a smartwatch, smart ring and possibly even earbuds. If the latest reports are true, we should see the successor to the Galaxy Watch 6, with a Standard or Pro model on the horizon, but this could be the year we get a Galaxy Watch Ultra too.
The Galaxy Ring has already been teased. It was first shown during the January 2024 Galaxy Unpacked, where Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 family. Ny Breaking even got the chance to get hands-on with a prototype. It looks like Samsung’s first foray into a new portable form factor is now just weeks away.
Last but not least, Samsung is likely preparing to bring its Galaxy AI suite of features to its earbuds, and it could be similar to the integration we saw Nothing debut with the Ear(a) earbuds that integrate with ChatGPT. Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds could feature Google Gemini if there is an AI-infused partnership considering the two companies have such a close partnership.
Of course, nothing is official until Samsung makes it official… thankfully we’re only a few weeks away now. We know exactly what Samsung is showing off on July 10, and if you’re already interested, the tech giant has a deal for you.
As with previous Galaxy Unpacked events, you can pre-book – with no obligation – and instantly unlock $50 Samsung credit towards the new Galaxy devices… Samsung even specifies Galaxy Z, which means foldable phones are definitely on the rise. Samsung is also promising trade-ins worth up to $1,500 off a new Galaxy device. You can get the full scoop here.
