Summer is usually a quiet time for tech news, however Samsung is about to shake things up a bit. The next one The Samsung Unpacked event is scheduled for July 10. It will take place at 3:00 p.m. local time in Paris, 9:00 a.m. ET.
The company released information about it Galaxy S24 devices after that at the beginning of this year First Opening of 2024, so it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see new versions of the traditional smartphone format here (perhaps consider Olympic-branded models, given Samsung’s sponsorship of the event). However, there is a decent chance that Samsung will show off its latest foldable kit. Rumors suggest that it is also set to launch a new smartwatch. And then there’s the small matter of the smart ring that Samsung teased this year.
Here’s a look at what we can expect from Samsung Unpacked, the July 2024 release:
Samsung Galaxy Ring
Samsung’s smart ring is its most interesting device. This is an entirely new product category for the company, although Samsung has been preparing for it by improving health and wellness technology in its other devices over the past few years.
Samsung Galaxy Ring is expected to arrive “In or around August”, according to the company itself, this device would be more of a surprise he didn’t Appears in Unpacked. After the first Wearable teaser during January UnpackedSamsung gave more detailed information about in February. The Galaxy Ring will be available in three colors – platinum silver, gold and ceramic black – and in several sizes.
The ring will measure heart rate, movement and respiration to help track your sleep. This is also expected to support productivity tracking. The Galaxy Ring will also be able to pair with the Galaxy Watch, so you’ll get more accurate health information if you wear both.
Of course, the Galaxy Ring will be compatible with Galaxy phones, but Samsung aims to make it work with other Android phones. As of February, iOS compatibility should have been determined, perhaps rival device Oura will remain the primary choice for many iPhone users. For what it’s worth, some of the company’s smartwatches is appropriate with certain iPhones and non-Samsung Android phones.
Samsung has not yet announced the exact release date and price of the Galaxy Ring. However, this information will almost certainly be revealed in Unpacked.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6
As we head into the back half of the year and (don’t say it out loud because summer just started in the northern hemisphere) the holiday shopping season, it’s probably the right time for Samsung to release new foldable devices. We can very well see the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in Unpacked.
Updates are expected to be relatively minor. Rumors suggest The Z Flip 6 will increase the battery capacity to 4000 mAh, the possibility to increase the RAM up to 12 GB and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Camera upgrades also seem likely, with Samsung reportedly bringing the same 50MP camera seen on the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 to the Z Flip 6.
As for the foldable flagship, Galaxy Z Fold 6It is expected to have the same screen size and thickness last year’s model. The cover screen can adopt Corning Gorilla Armor for improved durability along with anti-reflective technology.
It doesn’t look like the cameras will be upgraded, while there may be a very small increase in battery capacity. It’s a safe bet that there will be a chipset upgrade to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Meanwhile, a leak suggested that both the devices get a $100 increase in comparison last year’s models. We’ll have to wait until Unpack to find out if that’s the case.
There is also some talk around more rewards Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultraas well as slim versions in both folding formats. However, these could be launched alongside the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. If they do appear at the Unpacked event in July, it’ll likely be a tease.
Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Ultra
Galaxy Watch 7 listings have surfaced early on some online stores, so we’ll probably see this wearable show up at Unpacked as well. It is expected to have a 3nm chipset that can improve power efficiency and performance. Health sensors are also likely to be improved.
It’s 2024, so of course there will be some AI-powered features. AI-powered sleep, exercise and communication features, including a smart reply function for the latter.
That’s not all, however, as there are indications that the Galaxy Watch Ultra is also on the way. A series was leaked pictures suggesting it will be larger than standard Galaxy Watch models. The device is expected to have a rectangular design with a circular watch face. Most interestingly, the Galaxy Watch Ultra could have a digital crown-style dial and button combination on the side instead of a rotating bezel for navigation.
The rumored price is $700, which is much more expensive than other Galaxy Watch devices. Hopefully, Samsung packed in enough features to make it useful.

Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
It’s been a few years since the last Galaxy Buds models (last year’s FE option), so these are meant for improvement. We’ll likely see both the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro Unpacked on July 10.
The two models will be available in silver and white and will have an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance, along with support for SmartThings Find. Android Headlines.
As with the Buds 2 Pro, it is expected that the Buds 3 Pro will have a two-way speaker designed to deliver richer audio, while the regular Buds 3 will have a one-way speaker. The higher-end model is said to offer adaptive noise control, blade lights and surround sound. The Buds 3 Pro are expected to offer longer battery life than the more budget model, though both are believed to have active noise cancellation.
Word on the street suggests that Samsung is gearing up to emulate Apple’s AirPods, but there’s another big upcoming change. adopting root design. Whether you’re a fan of this format or not, the root has one clear advantage: it places the microphone a little closer to your mouth, which should improve call quality. For what it’s worth, this is what Samsung said when it unveiled the Galaxy Buds Live in 2020 There was no “awkward root”.
