Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: all the news on the summer product event

Samsung’s July Galaxy Unpacked event is happening today in Paris, France, at 9AM ET / 6AM PT, where the company is expected to take the wraps fully off the Galaxy Ring, revealing pricing, when it’s available, and what it can do. That’s in addition to a barrage of other heavily rumored products, like new AirPods-like Galaxy Buds, a beefy Galaxy Watch Ultra, and a redesigned Galaxy Z Fold 6 with squared corners and much brighter displays.

The Galaxy Ring is the big one — Samsung’s entry into the field of smart rings marks the first serious smart ring from one of the big phone and smartwatch makers. The ring will be facing off an already entrenched but still fairly niche market occupied by the Oura Ring, Evie, and Ultrahuman.

The company is also expected to reveal a new Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Watch 7. We can also probably count on plenty of Galaxy AI talk and the usual litany of promotional preorder incentives that the company loves to do for its Unpacked events.

  Samsung’s next Unpacked summer launch event will take place on July 10th in Paris, France, the company announced on Tuesday. The animation accompanying the invitation hints at foldables, and the invite itself removes all doubt: “Prepare to discover the power of Galaxy AI, now infused into the latest Galaxy Z series and the entire Galaxy ecosystem.” But we’re also on the lookout for something of a different shape: the Galaxy Ring.

  Rumors indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 will be fairly minor upgrades, with the Z Flip 6 getting a slightly bigger battery and the Z Fold 6 looking a little boxier. Not the most exciting stuff, but that’s been the story with the past few generations of Samsung’s folding phones.
