It’s that time of the year for Samsung fans.
Speculation is rife that the South Korean electronics giant is gearing up for its next big hardware unveiling, with multiple sources like Sammobile reporting that the tech giant has pencilled in July 10th for its mid-year Galaxy Unpacked event.
Of course, there is nothing official but even while the company remains tight-lipped about the details, industry insiders suggest that this year’s summer showcase will be a star-studded affair.
It is likely to be featuring the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the much-hyped Galaxy Ring, among other exciting launches.
So what can we expect? Read on to find out.
The Galaxy Ring teased so ferociously over the past months is going to stake centre stage and also marks Samsung’s foray into the nascent field of wearable computing.
If the rumours are to be believed, the Galaxy Ring could come in multiple variants, ranging from SM-Q500 to SM-Q509 model numbers, catering to various ring sizes from 5 to 13 (approximately 22.2mm wide).
The device is expected to flaunt three distinct finishes and boast an impressive 9-day battery life, setting the bar high for longevity in the wearables market.
Samsung is rumoured to be gearing up for a substantial initial production run, with plans to manufacture over 400,000 units starting next month.
The Galaxy Watch lineup is also due for a significant upgrade, with reports suggesting the arrival of a Galaxy Watch 7 Classic, a Watch 7 Pro, and a “new” model, potentially dubbed the “Galaxy Watch Fan Edition (FE)” or “Galaxy Watch 4 (2024).”
One of the standout features of the Galaxy Watch 7 series is expected to be its power-efficient 3nm chip, which is claimed to be 50% more energy-efficient than the chip found in the Galaxy Watch 6 lineup, promising extended battery life and improved performance.
Alongside the wearable devices, Samsung is rumoured to be unveiling the Galaxy Buds 3 (SM-R630) and Buds 3 Pro (SM-R530), catering to the growing demand for wireless audio accessories.
Additionally, industry insiders speculate that the event will showcase Samsung’s latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
Perhaps new Galaxy AI features across its product portfolio are in the offing. Who knows but we shall soon.
Of course, no Samsung Unpacked event would be complete without the company’s flagship foldable smartphones.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is set to make its sixth-generation debut, with rumours swirling about a potential “Ultra” variant or a more affordable mainstream option.
Recent leaks suggest that the standard edition of the Z Fold 6 could boast a significantly reduced thickness, higher display resolutions for both internal and external screens, and a lighter overall build.
As for the fashion-focused Galaxy Z Flip 6, details remain scarce, possibly indicating a more incremental update focused on refreshing the internals and camera capabilities, building upon the substantial upgrades introduced with the Z Flip 5 last year.
Industry sources suggest that Samsung is likely to send out official invites in late May or early June, allowing ample time for the rumour mill to churn and build anticipation for the July 10th showcase.
Multiple sources have indicated that Samsung is likely to hold its mid-year Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10th, though the company has yet to make an official announcement.
The event is set to feature several new products including the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the new Galaxy Ring, marking Samsung’s entry into wearable computing.
The Galaxy Ring is rumoured to come in multiple sizes and boast three finishes, with a significant battery life of up to 9 days, setting new standards in the wearable market.
Yes, the Galaxy Watch 7 series is expected to include models such as the Galaxy Watch 7 Classic and Watch 7 Pro, featuring a more energy-efficient 3nm chip which enhances performance and battery life.
While specifics are not clear, industry insiders speculate that Samsung might unveil new AI features that could be integrated across its product portfolio, including smartphones and wearables.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is anticipated to sport a 50MP primary camera, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 10MP cover display selfie shooter, and a 16MP under-display camera on the main panel.
These specifications suggest a focus on maintaining a strong, but not groundbreaking, camera performance.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is rumoured to significantly up the ante with a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 primary camera.
This upgrade positions the Ultra variant as a high-end competitor in the foldable smartphone market, particularly for photography enthusiasts.
Beyond the camera improvements, the Z Fold 6 Ultra could feature a larger battery, enhanced display sizes, and possibly an integrated S Pen, suggesting Samsung’s aim to merge premium smartphone features with the flexibility of foldable technology.
While there’s no official confirmation, Samsung typically unveils its new foldable devices in the later part of the year.
The tech community eagerly awaits more details, possibly in the coming months, as the rumored launch date approaches.
There’s buzz that Samsung is planning a shift in its chip strategy for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, possibly incorporating its Exynos processor in certain areas.
This would mark a change from its traditional use of Snapdragon chips for the device, potentially offering the Exynos 2400 in markets outside the US, where the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might remain the standard.
Leaks suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could enjoy a boost in battery performance.
This improvement is likely due to the integration of more efficient parts and possibly a larger battery size, even as the device adopts a high 120Hz refresh rate for its cover screen.
Early indications suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will maintain a similar design aesthetic to the Flip 5, with a 6.7-inch main and 3.4-inch cover display.
However, it might come in a slightly thicker form factor to accommodate a bigger battery and might also introduce fresh color options to the lineup.
Rumors hint at the Galaxy Z Flip 6 coming with up to 12GB of RAM in select markets, maintaining a base storage capacity of 256GB.
A larger 512GB storage option is also anticipated, providing ample space for apps, media, and more.
The Galaxy Ring will launch in three colors: black, silver, and gold, with official names for these colors to be announced closer to the launch date.
My Vitality Score is a new health system by Samsung, offering personalized health insights by analyzing activity, heart rate, variability, and sleep data, available on the Galaxy Ring and other Samsung devices.
The Galaxy Ring is lighter than its main competitor, the Oura Ring, weighing between 2.3 to 2.9 grams, which enhances its comfort for all-day wear.
Samsung plans to simplify the sizing process for the Galaxy Ring, possibly offering a sizing kit to ensure users can easily find their perfect fit.
As of now, the Galaxy Ring is likely to be Android-exclusive, with Samsung expressing a preference for Android compatibility and potentially offering Galaxy-exclusive features initially.
The listing of the Galaxy Watch 7 Pro on India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) site suggests that Samsung is preparing to launch this model in India.
The listing specifically mentions the battery with the model number EB-705ABY, linked to the Watch 7 Pro, indicating that development is well underway and a release could be imminent.
If rumors are accurate, the Galaxy Watch 7 Pro will feature a 578mAh battery, potentially marketed as 600mAh, making it one of the largest batteries available in a Wear OS smartwatch.
This substantial capacity could offer extended usage times, setting a new standard for battery life in smartwatches.
The regular Galaxy Watch 7 model has been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website, confirming its development alongside the Pro version.
While specific details about the regular model are less clear, its certification implies it will also support Bluetooth connectivity and likely share some features with the Pro model, such as the new Wear OS 5 software.
The Galaxy Watch 7 series is rumored to launch with the new Wear OS 5, which represents the next major update of Google’s operating system for wearables.
This update is expected to bring enhanced performance, better integration with health and fitness apps, and possibly new customization options that will improve the overall user experience.
