Samsung has provided a clear solution to the unusual puzzle it provided yesterday, confirming that its Galaxy Unpacked event will indeed take place on August 10th. The image included with the teaser also confirms that its foldables will be taking center stage, with the Galaxy Z Flip-shaped device acting as the “more than” symbol. The event will begin at 9AM ET and will be streamed on Samsung.com.
With the timing of last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Fold 3 launches, based on the cryptic hints that Samsung gave yesterday, it was a no-brainer to assume that we’ll see an updated foldable phone next month. If the phone in the invitation image is indeed the Z Flip 4, then the rumors that the device will feature a minimal update appears to be accurate. It seems to feature the same size as the Flip 3, rear dual-camera setup, and a side-mounted power button/fingerprint scanner. We would also expect to see an update for the Z Fold 3 on the 10th, and rumors suggest it. There could be a slightly different looking camera bump as compared to its predecessor.
New Galaxy watches are also expected, and Samsung’s pre-preorder promotion mentions discounts for Galaxy phones, a combination of Watch and Buds. That’s right—by simply supplying Samsung with your name and email address, US customers can earn the ability to: reserve A preorder deal on whatever the company is announcing in August. If you’d rather find out what Samsung has up its sleeve first, it looks like you’ll have to tune in to the livestream in just a few weeks.
