Samsung has officially announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on July 10 in Paris. This is earlier than usual due to the Paris 2024 Olympics, which Samsung is sponsoring and begin on July 26.
Exciting New Products and Updates
This Galaxy Unpacked event promises to be full of exciting updates to existing hardware and the introduction of new products from Samsung. Here’s what we’re expecting:
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
The highlight of the event will be Samsung’s next flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While not officially revealed, leaks suggest a design inspired by the Galaxy S24 Ultra, featuring a more angular design with sharper edges. The inner display remains a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 2160 x 1856 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the cover display is a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 2376 x 968 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Z Fold 6 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, with 12GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. The camera setup will be similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, featuring a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultrawide camera. There were rumors of a 200MP main camera for a possible “Ultra” variant, but its appearance at Unpacked seems unlikely.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
The Galaxy Z Flip 6, the smaller clamshell sibling of the Z Fold 6, will see fewer design changes. However, improvements in the hinge design are expected, making it more durable. The main display will remain a 6.7-inch screen, but the cover display may increase slightly to 3.9 inches. The Z Flip 6 will likely feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, with possible variants offering 8GB or 12GB of RAM, the latter potentially using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The main camera could see an upgrade to 50MP, similar to the Motorola Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
We can also expect the next generation of wearables, including the Galaxy Watch 7. The design will retain the round shape of the Galaxy Watch 6, available in 40mm and 44mm sizes. New colors like olive green may be introduced, alongside silver and gold. Internally, the Galaxy Watch 7 could feature the Exynos W1000 chipset, boosting performance by 20% and increasing power efficiency. Charging speeds may also improve to 15W, 50% faster than the Galaxy Watch 6 series.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung is also set to release a new Galaxy Watch Ultra, aimed at competing with the Apple Watch Ultra. This watch will have a more rugged design, a larger 47mm titanium case with sapphire crystal on the display, and a band attachment system inspired by Apple. The Galaxy Watch Ultra will feature a circular bezel in a rounded square case and a display brightness up to 3,000 nits.
Samsung Galaxy Ring
The Galaxy Ring, teased earlier this year, is likely to be fully released at the event. Available in black, silver, and gold, with a glossy finish, the ring will come in sizes 5 through 13. It offers a discreet way to track health and fitness, using AI for continuous heart rate monitoring and other metrics like sleep, activity, and heart rate variability. The Galaxy Ring boasts a battery life of five to nine days and may be priced between $300 and $350, potentially with a subscription for some features.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Series
While there’s some uncertainty, the Galaxy Tab S10 series could also be unveiled. Traditionally launched in August, it’s a 50/50 chance they might appear at this event. Rumors suggest the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will look similar to its predecessor, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus may use a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Details on the regular Tab S10 and Tab S10 Ultra remain sparse, so Samsung might reserve their reveal for a later date, focusing this event on foldables and wearables.
