Samsung’s Next Foldable Smartphones Drop On July 26
Mark your calendar for the hotly anticipated summer reveal.
Samsung has announced dates for its next Unpacked event, which will take place on July 26th at 7AM ET. The press release makes it obvious that new foldable smartphones will be unveiled at the show, which will presumably be the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and likely the Z Fold 5 as well. In addition, leaks suggest that a Galaxy Watch 6 reveal will take place, along with news on the latest Galaxy Tablets.
The flip-style foldables in Samsung’s lineup are expected to include lower-profile hinges, with the Flip upgrading its tiny second screen to something much larger.
For the first time, Samsung has some serious competition in the foldable genre, with Google recently releasing its own Pixel Fold and Motorola resurrecting the famous Razr brand of handsets in the form of the Razr Plus.
