We have a confirmed date for the largest party of Hot Foldable Summer. Samsung has announced that its next Unpacked event will take place on July 26 at 7:00 am ET.
Bright and early for the east coast, but evening in Seoul, where Samsung previously announced it will conduct the event.
Samsung’s Next Folding Phones
The image and text accompanying the announcement make it abundantly clear that we’ll see a flip-style foldable device at the event, which would be the Galaxy Z Flip 5; the Z Fold 5 is also expected.
We will probably also see the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Tablets. That is a particularly dense Unpacked.
The foldable device depicted in Samsung’s promotional image appears to have a lower-profile hinge, consistent with speculations and leaks. It appears to be a phone that can be folded compactly.
Unfortunately, this profile view does not provide a glimpse of the cover screen, which is anticipated to be significantly larger than the Z Flip 4’s minuscule display — if true, enormous.
For the first time, Samsung enters its summer Unpacked event, which will focus on foldable devices, sensing some competition.
Google has recently published the highly anticipated Pixel Fold, and Motorola has returned to competition with the delightful Razr Plus.
Still, Samsung has been working on foldable devices for quite some time, and the fact that it is hosting this event on its home territory in Seoul suggests the category’s significance to the company.

In a few short weeks, all will be revealed, and if you’re not in Seoul, you’ll be able to follow along online — just bring your own coffee.
Once again, Samsung is offering pre order reservations with a $50 credit for those who preorder.
There is no commitment beyond providing your name and email address, and you can sign up for a reservation from tonight until July 25 without incurring any costs. It seems fairly… adaptable.
