5 Things to Anticipate at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked

New Foldables & The Galaxy Ring on the Horizon

Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to make waves with its summer showcase, traditionally earmarked for July or August. This year, we’re poised to witness an array of innovations, from the latest in foldable tech to the debut of a smart ring.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to take center stage, enhancing the functionality of foldable devices and introducing AI-driven fitness capabilities.

Here’s a sneak peek at the five exciting developments we anticipate from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is likely to headline the event, boasting incremental enhancements over its predecessor. Expect a performance boost courtesy of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and subtle design refinements. While a radical overhaul isn’t on the cards, these updates promise to bolster the device’s AI capabilities, such as real-time translation and the Generative Edit tools previously seen in the Galaxy S24 series, now adapted for the foldable format.

Camera upgrades may not be the talk of the town, but software advancements could propel the Galaxy Z Fold 6 into the upper echelons of camera phone rankings.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is set to be the showstopper with more pronounced upgrades than the Z Fold 6. Gear up for a 50-megapixel primary camera, an enhanced battery capacity of around 4,000mAh, 25W fast charging, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. A fresh palette of colors and a refined screen crease are also rumored, adding to the allure.

AI will again play a pivotal role, introducing intelligent features that maximize the utility of the flip-screen design.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

The unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is also on the agenda, promising extended battery life, increased processing power, faster charging, and a suite of outdoor-centric features.

The Galaxy Watch 7 might come in Pro and Classic variants, with the former possibly featuring a rotating bezel. Buzz around a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra suggests a luxurious version with a micro-LED display, superior performance, and a larger battery, alongside cutting-edge fitness and wellness tracking exclusive to the Ultra model.

Samsung Galaxy Ring

The Galaxy Ring, Samsung’s inaugural smart ring, is anticipated to be a standout offering. It’s expected to track vital health metrics during sleep—such as heart rate, sleep latency, respiratory rate, and nocturnal movement—features not currently monitored by the Galaxy Watch 6. These metrics will contribute to a ‘Vitality’ score and could include sleep apnea detection, and enhancing the device’s health and fitness monitoring capabilities.

While details are sparse, seamless integration with Samsung Health and the broader Galaxy ecosystem is highly likely.

A Surge of AI

Expect a surge of AI innovations at Unpacked. With Apple Intelligence integrating AI into various devices, Samsung is poised to follow suit under the Galaxy AI banner.

AI is set to enrich the user experience across Samsung’s foldable phones and smartwatches, potentially introducing personalized AI-generated workout routines. The Galaxy Ring will also benefit from AI, optimizing its health and fitness tracking features.

Moreover, Samsung may unveil new cross-device Galaxy AI functionalities and provide insights into the future trajectory of its AI technology, hinting at what’s in store for the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Stay tuned for what promises to be a groundbreaking Galaxy Unpacked event, where the fusion of technology and intelligence will redefine the smart device landscape.
