The Korean giant has finally confirmed the presentation date for its new Galaxy line of smartphones. The Unpacked event will take place in July: the summer appointment with foldables and wearables from the brand is fixed and highly anticipated by both industry professionals and tech enthusiasts. Here are the novelties to be announced, together with the date and venue of the event, with a focus also on the first promotional initiatives!
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in July: event date and news coming
The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked will take place on July 22 in London, in line with rumors circulating even since April. The presentation can be enjoyed via live streaming on Samsung’s social channels. As usual, the company has not explicitly revealed the novelties that will be shown (limiting itself to confirming Galaxy devices), but rumors certainly abound.
- Galaxy Z Fold 8
- Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Flip 8
- Galaxy Watch 9
- Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
- Galaxy Glasses
Don't be fooled by the name, because the “usual” Galaxy Z Fold 8 will change shape: official teasers even hint at the shift to the wide foldable format – more practical, since the phone will become a kind of small tablet (when opened).
For fans of the narrow and elongated format, no problem: Samsung should also launch the Ultra version. No upgrade or oddity, simply the classic foldables brand style – perhaps the Ultra label could be confusing.
Clearly Z Flip 8 won't be missing, with its clamshell foldable form factor. This year's wearables would drop to two, with Watch 9 and the rugged premium Watch Ultra 2; no Classic version, Samsung has opted for an even slimmer lineup.
Finally there would also be room for the much-talked-about Galaxy Glasses, the first smart glasses from the Asian tech giant.
