New foldable phones are on their way. Samsung will hold its third Unpacked of 2021 at 7 a.m. PT on Wednesday. Like all events since COVID-19 spread globally, Samsung’s latest launch is all virtual. You can watch through the tech giant’s YouTube page, with the link going live an hour before the event. CNET also will be hosting a live show, starting at 6:30 a.m. PT and featuring Bridget Carey, Iyaz Akhtar and Jide Akinrinade. Also covering Samsung’s news will be Shara Tibken, Patrick Holland, Lexy Savvides, Scott Stein and David Carnoy. You can tune in here. Foldables will be the big topic of the day at Unpacked. Samsung plans to introduce new models of the Galaxy Z Fold, which expands outward from a phone into a tablet, and the Galaxy Z Flip, which features a clamshell design, allowing users to shelter the interior flexible display by closing the sides. The new devices will feature more-durable materials and new multitasking abilities, and they’re also expected to cost less than their predecessors at launch.
