Although Samsung hasn’t officially announced the date, we’ve gotten more indications about when the next Samsung Unpacked Event will be held.

According to The Chosun Daily, it’s going to be Wednesday, July 10, in Paris. The date has long been rumored, so this latest news is unsurprising. Still, it’s good to get confirmation from another source on the same date. At this point, it’s all but set in stone that July 10 is the day to look forward to.

Like previous summer events, the next Samsung Unpacked event will likely focus on the company’s foldable smartphones; this year, that’s the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and  Galaxy Z Fold 6. The long-rumored Galaxy Watch 7 should also make an appearance, as should Samsung’s new Galaxy Ring.

Samsung typically announces new products in August, but doing it earlier on the calendar and in Paris this year makes sense. Paris is the location of this year’s Summer Olympic Games, which kick off July 26. The Olympics are a prime time for companies to advertise new products, and Samsung is no exception.

The overall look of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is likely to be similar to the current Galaxy Z Flip 5, though some improvements will be made to its durability. Although it’s entirely possible Samsung will stick with a 3.9-inch cover display on the new Galaxy Z Flip, at least one rumor says it could be bigger.

Things could get most interesting with the Galaxy Z Fold 6. For the first time, Samsung is expected to announce two Galaxy Z Fold models this year: a regular one and an “Ultra” version. Both models could launch with larger display sizes and improved cameras.

The upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series may also introduce an Ultra version. The Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is expected to replace the Classic version and feature a squarish design, significantly departing from previous models.

If the Unpacked event is on July 10, we can anticipate Samsung releasing all the new products before the end of July or by the beginning of August at the latest. Typically, the company releases new products just weeks after they are announced. If you’re a Samsung fan, it’s almost your time to shine.

When you buy a smartphone from Apple, Samsung, Google, or OnePlus, there’s always going to be the temptation to get a matching set of wireless earbuds to go along with it, as each manufacturer makes its own pair. But what exactly does it mean when you stay loyal to the brand, and is it worth it?

I’ve used the latest phones and earbuds from each manufacturer to find out. Here's what you need to know — and which pair is the best.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s biggest change may be hidden inside the phone

Significant changes may be on the horizon for Samsung’s upcoming foldable handsets next year. Once again, we’re hearing that the company intends to use in-house chips for two foldable devices set to launch in 2025. If this is accurate, it would be groundbreaking news.

Since their initial model launches, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip have included Qualcomm chips. For example, the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. If Samsung stuck with tradition, the 2025 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 would include a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset — the chip we expect to see in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup, which should be announced in the coming weeks.

This phone highlights what Google and Samsung need to fix with their cameras in 2025

When companies release new smartphones, they usually call out a specific camera specification or two. For the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung calls out the 200-megapixel main camera as well as the 5x telephoto, while Apple focused on its 48MP Fusion camera, and Google made bold claims about the power of its 5x telephoto zoom.

However, dive deeper, and you’ll often find that these flashy cameras are paired with other lower-resolution sensors. For some companies, this isn’t a significant problem, and Google has proven that you can work wonders using AI and algorithms, even when the hardware doesn’t match up.
