Summer 2024 kicks off with Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event, set to take place in Paris, France, on July 10th. This year, the event, which starts at 9 a.m. ET (3 p.m. CEST), promises to unveil “the next generation of Galaxy AI” alongside new additions to the ever-growing Galaxy ecosystem.
Samsung fans can look forward to potential updates to the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series, as well as new wearable devices and audio accessories. The event’s theme, centered around Galaxy AI, hints at significant advancements in artificial intelligence features across Samsung’s product lineup.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are expected to be the stars of the show. The Z Flip 6, known for its compact, clamshell design, may see improvements like a slightly larger battery. Last year’s Z Flip 5 impressed with a larger cover screen, and competition from Motorola’s Razr series means Samsung will need to keep innovating. The Z Fold 6 might feature a boxier design, providing a fresh look for the foldable that doubles as a mini tablet.
Samsung is also expected to debut the Galaxy Watch 7 series, which might include a more powerful Ultra version and a budget-friendly Galaxy Watch FE. Additionally, the long-awaited Galaxy Ring, first teased in January, could finally make its full debut. This health-focused smart ring aims to rival products like the Oura Ring, with details on pricing, availability, and specifications anticipated.
A significant focus of this year’s Unpacked event will be on Galaxy AI. Samsung’s AI advancements, showcased earlier this year, aim to enhance various smartphone functionalities, such as photo editing and search. These features are expected to be deeply integrated into the new Galaxy Z series and other devices within the Galaxy ecosystem.
Samsung is encouraging early reservations for its new devices. By signing up through Samsung’s website or the Shop Samsung app, customers can receive an instant $50 credit to use once preorders go live on July 10th. Additionally, those who reserve will be entered into a sweepstakes with a chance to win $5,000 in Samsung Credit. Committing to a preorder can also save customers up to $1,500 on a new Galaxy device.
The Galaxy Unpacked event will be streamed live on Samsung’s YouTube channel, on the Samsung Newsroom and website. For those who can’t tune in live, comprehensive coverage and analysis will be available from various tech news outlets. This year’s earlier event timing, just ahead of the Summer Olympics in Paris, is strategically planned to capture global attention.
As always, Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is poised to deliver exciting new technologies and innovations. With the spotlight on Galaxy AI and the next generation of foldable phones, wearables, and more, tech enthusiasts have much to look forward to on July 10th.
