Samsung is announcing a bunch of stuff soon. Let's get ready for it together. The next Samsung Unpacked livestream is on July 10 at 9 a.
m. ET, taking place in beautiful Paris. I could waste a bunch of time with a lengthy preamble, but we all know Samsung is here to show off new products.
Let's talk about what those products might be. If this Unpacked is anything like the similarly timed one a year ago, we don't even need rumors and leaks to predict some of what we'll see. We just need common sense.
It would be the fake out of the century if follow-ups to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 didn't show up at Unpacked in July. This time of year has been Samsung's traditional "let's check out some foldables" time for the last few years. The only question is how substantial the upgrades will be in 2024.
We don't know yet for sure, but various leaks can give us an idea. The Z Flip 6 will reportedly have a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (the same one powering the Galaxy S24 phones) for increased performance, as well as a 50MP main camera lens to replace the 12MP shooter on the Flip 5. As for the Fold 6, a number of leaks (such as this one from Chun Bhai on X) suggest it will also get the same new chipset as the Flip 6, as well as a wider form factor.
It's also expected to be thinner than last year's foldable device. Samsung lifted the curtain off of "Galaxy AI" at a separate Unpacked earlier this year. Put simply, it's a different take on the AI features Google added to Pixel .
