Samsung will be revealing a ton of new products during its Galaxy Unpacked event next week. Here’s what to expect.
Samsung officially announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on July 10 in Paris. This is earlier than previous years due to the Paris 2024 Olympics that start on July 26, which Samsung is sponsoring.
From what we know so far, this is going to be a jam-packed Galaxy Unpacked event, with lots of updates to existing hardware, plus some new products from Samsung.

The main event will, of course, be Samsung’s next-generation flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Though it hasn’t been officially revealed yet, recent reports have revealed a lot about the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The biggest change will be in the design, which will be inspired by the Galaxy S24 Ultra, with a more angular design and sharper edges.
As far as the displays, it doesn’t look like there are going to be as many changes here as previously thought. The inner display will still be a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 2160 x 1856 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The cover display will be a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 2376 x 968 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. There were rumors that Samsung might be going with a shorter and wider cover display, but that has now been debunked, as the aspect ratio appears to be 23:9.
It’s very likely that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy inside, which currently powers the S24 lineup. But the Galaxy Z Fold 6 could even outperform the S24 Ultra, as it appears to have 12GB RAM and storage options from 256GB to 1TB.
The camera setup will be similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This means a 50-megapixel main camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide camera.
There were rumors that we might see an upgrade to a 200MP main camera, but that could be for the new “Ultra” variant. This year, Samsung may finally introduce a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, which would be even more expensive than the regular Z Fold 6. However, the likelihood of that phone appearing at Unpacked seems pretty unlikely at this point in time.Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
While the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be the flagship, there is also the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which is its smaller clamshell sibling.
Though the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is being meaningfully changed, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will remain mostly the same as before. However, Samsung has likely made some improvements to the overall hinge design, making it more durable.
