Although nobody is aware of and nobody
can know for positive right now precisely what
Samsung‘s plans are for its subsequent massive product launch occasion, a Greek tech weblog at the moment claims to have realized “all about what’s coming” at this summer season’s Unpacked shindig from “very authoritative sources.”
Can we one hundred pc belief the knowledge
reported by Techmaniacs (and
translated right here) on the
Galaxy Z Fold 6,
Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch X (!),
Galaxy Ring, and the precise Unpacked occasion timing? Not likely. However we can’t completely discard or disregard it altogether both, even when one essential nugget appears to conflict with the identical element as revealed by a number of completely different sources in latest months.
Just about unhealthy information throughout the board
No, women and gents, we’re afraid this publication’s sources aren’t very optimistic concerning two points of Samsung’s short-term product announcement plans. We’re speaking in regards to the launch schedule, and extra worryingly, the retail costs of the one two next-gen Galaxy foldables that at the moment are extensively anticipated to see daylight by the tip of 2024.
As an alternative of a beforehand rumored
July 10 date, this summer season’s undoubtedly crowded and glamorous Unpacked occasion is at the moment tipped to happen on July 24 in Paris to be nearer to the official begin of the 2024 Olympic Video games in, you guessed it, the identical capital metropolis of France.
That is the anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 6 design.
As a result of the Summer time Olympics kick off on July 26 this 12 months, we’re fairly positive the interpretation of the newest Techmaniacs report is slightly off, seemingly pointing at a June 24 date for Samsung’s subsequent massive Unpacked affair that does not make an entire lot of sense.
As for what we should always anticipate to see unveiled on July 24, this new report explicitly rejects the opportunity of Samsung bringing
Z Fold Slim,
Z Flip Slim,
Fold FE, or Flip FE variants any sooner than subsequent 12 months. That leaves us ready for largely repetitive “commonplace”
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 fashions with… increased costs than their predecessors for some purpose.
That is proper, the
Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumored to value €100 extra in Europe (and, presumably, $100 extra stateside) than the
Z Fold 5 with a
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor as its solely {hardware} improve and a significant concentrate on Galaxy AI options and expertise as a key promoting level.
The
Galaxy Z Flip 6, in the meantime, may be priced €100/$100 increased than the
Z Flip 5 with the identical improved chipset underneath the hood, identical synthetic intelligence focus, and an upgraded 50MP main rear-facing digicam. Will that be sufficient to justify a worth enhance in a extra crowded and aggressive market section than ever? Solely time can inform, however for now, we’re not extraordinarily optimistic for Samsung.
X marks… the Apple Watch Extremely rival
Are you aware that first-of-a-kind premium smartwatch everybody appeared to agree can be referred to as
Galaxy Watch 7 Extremely or just Galaxy Watch Extremely? This publication truly expects it to go official because the Samsung Galaxy Watch X and provide massively elevated battery life in comparison with final 12 months’s
Galaxy Watch 6 household, in addition to improved water resistance.
That is the (unusual) anticipated design of the Galaxy Watch X, aka Galaxy Watch 7 Extremely.
Along with the Galaxy Watch X, Samsung is clearly prone to unveil a “common”
Galaxy Watch 7 and doubtlessly a budget-friendly new
Galaxy Watch FE on the identical Unpacked occasion because the
Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 in July.
Final however actually not least, the groundbreaking
Galaxy Ring is predicted to get a second announcement with extra particulars on capabilities and availability in Paris in a few months, though a European launch shortly after that reportedly appears unlikely. That does not utterly rule out a (restricted) industrial debut of some kind within the US in August or September, but it surely’s in all probability clever to proceed to maintain our expectations down for this radical new kind of Galaxy wearable.
