In a surprising turn of events, Samsung is allegedly planning to host its next Unpacked event in early July. That basically means that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will launch in early July.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Flip 6 will allegedly launch in early July
This information comes from SamMobile, as the site claims to have obtained this information. The source claims that it can “exclusively confirm that the next Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event will happen in early July 2024”.
Why is this surprising? Well, last year’s event occurred on July 26, so late July. The year before that, the event happened in August. So Samsung seems to be moving its second Unpacked event of the year to earlier dates year after year.
SamMobile also notes that the event could happen in the second week of the month and that these events usually happen on Wednesdays. This points to July 10 as an event date, but we’ll see.
The summer Olympics changed Samsung’s plans, it seems
Why the change? Well, the source notes that it could be because of the Olympics. The Olympic Games start on July 26, which is also a Wednesday, and Samsung wants to wrap things up before the Olympics start.
In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung is also planning to announce the Galaxy Ring during that event. That was not confirmed just yet, but Samsung did say that the Galaxy Ring is coming later this year. That’s the only big hardware event Samsung will host later this year, and it makes all the sense in the world.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is tipped to be lighter and wider than its predecessor. Its cover display will be wider, which is a change many have been waiting for. We don’t have much information about the Galaxy Z Flip 6 just yet, but no major changes are expected.
