Samsung Unpacked: all the announcements expected during the July event

Samsung is announcing lots of things soon. Let’s prepare it together.

The next Samsung Unpacked livestream will take place on July 10 at 9 a.m. ET, in the beautiful city of Paris. I could waste a lot of time with a long preamble, but we all know that Samsung is here to introduce new products. Let’s talk about what these products could be.

Samsung Unpacked July 2024: what to expect

If this Unpacked is anything like it was a year ago, at the same time, we don’t even need rumors and leaks to predict. a few of what we will see. We just need common sense.

New foldables

It would be the fake of the century if the sequels to last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 didn’t appear at Unpacked in July. This time of year has been Samsung’s traditional time to “check out a few foldables” in recent years. The only question is how big the upgrades will be in 2024.

We don’t know for sure yet, but various leaks can give us an idea. The Z Flip 6 is said to have a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (the same one that powers the Galaxy S24 phones) for increased performance, as well as a 50 MP main camera lens to replace the 12 shooter MP of Flip 5.

As for the Fold 6, a number of leaks (like this one by Chun Bhai on X) suggest that it will also get the same new chipset as the Flip 6, as well as a larger form factor. It is also I expected it to be thinner than last year’s foldable device.

Galaxy AI

Samsung pulled back the curtain on “Galaxy AI” during another Unpacked earlier this year. Simply put, this is a different take on the AI ​​features Google added to Pixel phones in 2023; you can use it for live translation or writing summaries, but it doesn’t change anything for now.

It’s not clear that everything Samsung will show at Unpacked will be “life-changing,” but it East certain that AI will be there because Samsung said so in the official invitation. Exclusive AI features for foldable devices would be nice, but we’ll have to wait and see what Samsung cooks up now that Apple Intelligence has entered the game.

Galaxy Ring

Another thing we can be certain of is that the wearable Galaxy Ring exists because Samsung announced it earlier this year. The device is said to contain a number of different sensors for sleep and health tracking, as well as a clamshell charging case. He could no-show at Unpacked, but given that Samsung has already announced wearables at Unpacked summer events, that seems unlikely.

It is also expected to be available in gold, platinum, and black colors with up to 13 different size options. Any other information will have to wait until Unpacked, if the Galaxy Ring appears there.

Galaxy Watch updates

Speaking of wearables and summer Unpacked events, the Galaxy Watch 7 is extremely likely to appear on July 10. In fact, it’s so likely that a number of the specs just leaked onto Amazon Canada.

If these specifications are to be believed, the Galaxy Watch 7 will be available in a size of at least 40mm with at least a “Cream” colorway. There’s a new BioActiveSensor 2 that’s supposed to be better at measuring your heart rate, as well as an unspecified chip powering the device. The list also hints at AI features, such as intelligent replies to messages and a sort of AI daily health companion, although information on this is scarce at this point.
