A report surfaced yesterday, claiming that the second Unpacked event of the year will take place in early July. July 10 was highlighted as the most probable date. Well, a new report just appeared, reconfirming the early July launch for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, while it also adds the event location.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 event location has seemingly been revealed, and the choice is interesting
This information comes from The Bell, a South Korean publication, and it has been relayed by Revegnus, a tipster. It is said that the second Unpacked event will take place in Paris, France.
Now, the Summer Olympics are also taking place in Paris, starting on July 26. That was the date of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch last year. That is also a Wednesday, by the way, and Samsung tends to host Unpacked events on Wednesdays.
Yesterday’s report did mention that the Summer Olympics are probably the reason why Samsung moved up its event. Now it’s even more clear why, as both events will be taking place in the same city.
The July 10 launch date fits, as that’s most probably the final choice for Samsung
In any case, this report does mention that the event will take place in mid-July, 1-2 weeks earlier than last year. So, the July 10 date does fit, definitely. The report also says that we should not expect new form factors, such as double folding or sliding phones.
It’s mentioned that both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will utilize Qualcomm’s AP. That is what everyone expected. It is also mentioned that TM Roh, the head of Samsung Mobile, is “holding a negative perception of budget foldables”.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 likely won’t be the only devices to launch at the event. The Galaxy Ring will likely arrive too, the company’s very first smart ring, whose design was revealed at MWC 2024.
We may see some additional products on top of these devices, like some new tablets, for example. More info will surface as we get closer to July.
