What will be announced at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked?
We are pretty sure, thanks to leaks and Samsung hints, that we will see the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. The main teaser image is of a Z Flip, so Samsung isn’t really hiding much here, asking us to ‘Join the flip side’ (which isn’t even a pun, come on Samsung).
The Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 were very iterative updates to the flip and fold form factors, so we are hoping the 5 series will bring in some changes.
Rumours and leaks suggest the Z Flip 5 will have a larger cover screen similar to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. Both the Flip and Fold will likely run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, but we’ll have to see if it’s the same special edition one found in the Galaxy S23 series, which has a higher clock speed.
The Z Fold 5 might – finally – close completely flat. Rival book-style foldables such as the Google Pixel Fold and Huawei Mate X3 close flat, but the Z Fold 4 doesn’t. Other than that, it may be another case of refinement over revolution.
We may also see a new Galaxy Watch 6 after extensive leaks suggest there will be a regular model and a return to the ‘Classic’ edition after 2022’s Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. We hope this means a return to the wonderful physical rotating bezel found on earlier Watch Classic models.
It’s also possible Samsung will update its tablet line, perhaps with a Galaxy Tab S9. We were fans of the Tab S8, a genuinely good alternative to the iPad.
