Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Seoul, South Korea – Mark your calendars. Samsung has officially announced its second major “Galaxy Unpacked” event of the year, setting the stage for a massive product launch on July 10, 2024. In a strategic move, the event will take place in Paris, just ahead of the city hosting the Summer Olympics, a global event for which Samsung is a major sponsor.
The theme for the event is clear: “Galaxy AI is Here.” This signals that artificial intelligence will be the core feature integrated across an entire new ecosystem of devices. The launch will be live-streamed worldwide, starting at 9:00 AM ET (6:30 PM IST).
Here’s a look at what the tech world is buzzing about and what we expect to see unveiled.
What to Expect at Galaxy Unpacked July 2024:
The Stars of the Show: Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Z Flip 6
The next generation of Samsung’s flagship foldable phones will undoubtedly be the main event. Leaks and rumors suggest both devices will feature sleeker, more durable designs, upgraded cameras, and the latest Snapdragon processors. Expect a heavy emphasis on how “Galaxy AI” will enhance the foldable experience, from productivity on the Fold to content creation on the Flip.
The Most Anticipated Debut: The Galaxy Ring
First teased at the Unpacked event in January, the Galaxy Ring is set to make its official debut. This new wearable is a health and wellness tracker packed into a sleek, screenless ring. It aims to offer a less intrusive way to monitor sleep, activity, and other health metrics, likely syncing seamlessly with the Samsung Health app. This is Samsung’s entry into a brand-new product category.
Upgraded Wearables: The Galaxy Watch 7 Series
The popular smartwatch line is due for a refresh. The Galaxy Watch 7 series is expected to launch, with speculation pointing towards a new high-end “Ultra” model to compete directly with the Apple Watch Ultra. Expect improved battery life, more powerful processors, and new AI-powered health and fitness features.
A New Look for Audio: The Galaxy Buds 3
Samsung’s wireless earbuds are also set for an update. The Galaxy Buds 3 series might feature a significant redesign, with rumors suggesting a new stem-style look similar to Apple’s AirPods Pro. This would be a major departure from the traditional “bean” shape of previous models, likely offering improved audio quality and a better microphone for calls.
This Unpacked event is poised to be one of Samsung’s biggest in years, not just launching new hardware but showcasing its vision for a deeply interconnected and intelligent ecosystem powered by Galaxy AI.
