Forget foldables – Samsung’s next Unpacked could be all about wearables
The next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event may shift its focus away from Fold and Flip phones to highlight wearables, according to a report by SamMobile. Sources have indicated that the upcoming Unpacked event, scheduled for July 10, will showcase wearables like the Samsung Galaxy Ring. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are still expected to make an appearance, they will not be the main attraction at Unpacked. This suggests that the next-generation foldable phones from Samsung may not offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, aligning with previous rumors. Additionally, the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is unlikely to be unveiled at Unpacked, contradicting recent battery certification hints of an Ultra-grade foldable in the works.
The Galaxy Ring, teased at the previous Galaxy Unpacked event, is poised to be the standout wearable at the upcoming Samsung showcase. As Samsung’s first new form-factor product in some time, the Galaxy Ring is anticipated to feature advanced fitness and wellness tracking technologies. Coupled with enhancements to the Samsung Health platform, the smart ring could serve as a versatile alternative to dedicated fitness trackers or smartwatches. In addition to the Galaxy Ring, the event may also introduce the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. The former is rumored to incorporate innovative features like blood sugar monitoring, while the latter is expected to offer a premium smartwatch experience, potentially featuring a large battery and titanium components for a lightweight design.
As the tech world eagerly anticipates Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event, the emphasis on wearables signals a shift in the company’s product strategy. Stay tuned for the latest updates on Samsung’s wearable innovations and other exciting tech developments.
