Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 10 in Paris. What’s on deck? We’re expecting the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, the Galaxy Watch 7, and the Galaxy Ring.
Samsung’s summer Galaxy Unpacked event is almost upon us. Samsung has now revealed the date, time, and location of the event. It will take place on July 10 in Paris, France, at 9:00 a.m. ET. Samsung is inviting everyone to watch the livestream at the Samsung Newsroom, Samsung.com, and Samsung’s YouTube channel.
Samsung teased more Galaxy AI. «Prepare to discover the power of Galaxy AI, now infused into the latest Galaxy Z series and the entire Galaxy ecosystem. Get ready for a world of possibilities as we enter a new phase of mobile AI», it said in the announcement.
Now that we know when Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is taking place, it’s time to get into the business of ferreting out what’s on deck. Here’s what we expect from the next Galaxy Unpacked.Fresh Foldables: Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6
Galaxy Unpacked will almost certainly focus on new folding phones from the tech giant. The company updates its Z Fold and Z Flip handhelds every year around this time. While no confirmed details are available, leaks and rumors have painted a fairly clear picture of what we’ll see.
The Z Fold 6 will be the star of the show as Samsung’s most advanced phone. Notably, the Z Fold 6 will feature a brand-new design. The Z Fold 5, 4, and 3 are all remarkably similar in their basic appearance. Smartprix suggests the Z Fold 6 will resemble the Galaxy S24 family with flatter side edges and a titanium frame. Thanks to the titanium, the phone may see a reduction in weight from 8.92 ounces to 8.43 ounces.
Samsung also plans to upgrade the screens. The outer display will improve to a 6.3-inch OLED panel with 2,376 by 986 pixels. It will still be fairly narrow, but the aspect ratio is slightly wider than previous versions of the phone. The inner screen will maintain its 7.6-inch dimension and rely on a Dynamic AMOLED panel with 2,160 by 1,856 pixels. Most everyone expects the phone to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It will ship in variants with 8 to 12GB of RAM and 256GB to 1TB of storage.
One area many want to see improved? The camera. The Z Fold 5 produces acceptable images, but they are far behind the quality of photos from the S24 Ultra and other leading camera phones. Here, rumors conflict. Smartprix suggests the optics will be largely carried over from the Z Fold 5, meaning the phone will get a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and 10MP telephoto camera.
