Samsung may announce the date for its next Unpacked tomorrow, June 26. Multiple leaks say the company will open pre-reservations for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 this Wednesday. It usually starts accepting pre-reservations for new flagships or foldables immediately after announcing the Unpacked date. The announcement also usually comes two weeks before the event, and June 26 falls exactly two weeks before the rumored July 10 date for the next Unpacked.
Samsung to open Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 pre-reservations before Unpacked
Since February, we have only heard one date for Samsung’s next Unpacked—July 10. The company is allegedly taking the big launch event to Paris, France to commemorate its sponsorship ties with the Olympic Games (this year’s sporting event is taking place in Paris). The Unpacked will happen around two weeks before the Olympics begin on July 26. This ensures the new products go on sale just when the games begin, allowing Samsung to promote them to the masses.
As the Unpacked draws closer, the company has ramped up its preparations for the arrival of the new foldables and other products. Folks over at SamMobile recently received a message from a Samsung Experience Store in India saying that they can pre-reserve the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 starting on June 26, 2024. The message didn’t explicitly name the unannounced foldables for obvious reasons but used the codenames Q6 and B6 that leaks have revealed before.
X user @tarunvats33, who has a decent track record of Samsung leaks, also confirmed separately that pre-reservations for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will open in India on June 26. He also shared a poster but it looks fake. In the image below, see how there is no space between “Fold” and “6” but some space between “Flip” and “6”. The poster also lacks a hyphen (-) joining “Pre” and “Reserve”. That’s not to say the reported date may be fake too.
An official announcement may come anytime now
As said earlier, Samsung’s flagship and foldable pre-reservations usually coincide with its official Unpacked announcement. It announced the Galaxy S24’s Unpacked on January 3, exactly two weeks before the event on January 17 (both on a Wednesday). June 26 falls on a Wednesday, and so does July 10 exactly two weeks later. Joining the dots, the Korean firm may announce its next Unpacked tomorrow. Alongside the new foldables, the event should also bring new watches, wireless earbuds, and the Galaxy Ring.
