Samsung is announcing a bunch of stuff soon. Let's get ready for it together.

The next Samsung Unpacked livestream is on July 10 at 9 a.m. ET, taking place in beautiful Paris. I could waste a bunch of time with a lengthy preamble, but we all know Samsung is here to show off new products. Let's talk about what those products might be.

Samsung Unpacked July 2024: What to expect

If this Unpacked is anything like the similarly timed one a year ago, we don't even need rumors and leaks to predict someof what we'll see. We just need common sense.

New foldables

It would be the fake out of the century if follow-ups to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 didn't show up at Unpacked in July. This time of year has been Samsung's traditional "let's check out some foldables" time for the last few years. The only question is how substantial the upgrades will be in 2024.

We don't know yet for sure, but various leaks can give us an idea. The Z Flip 6 will reportedly have a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (the same one powering the Galaxy S24 phones) for increased performance, as well as a 50MP main camera lens to replace the 12MP shooter on the Flip 5.

As for the Fold 6, a number of leaks (such as this one from Chun Bhai on X) suggest it will also get the same new chipset as the Flip 6, as well as a wider form factor. It's also expected to be thinner than last year's foldable device.

Galaxy AI

Samsung lifted the curtain off of "Galaxy AI" at a separate Unpacked earlier this year. Put simply, it's a different take on the AI features Google added to Pixel phones in 2023; you can use it for live language translation or summary writing, but nothing life-changing just yet.

It's not certain that anything Samsung shows at Unpacked will be "life-changing," but it iscertain that AI will be there because Samsung said as much in the official invitation. Exclusive AI features for foldable devices would be nice, but we'll have to wait and see what Samsung is cooking now that Apple Intelligence has entered the ballgame.

Galaxy Ring

Another thing we can be certain about is that the wearable Galaxy Ring exists because Samsung announced it earlier this year. It's said that the device will contain a bunch of different sensors for sleep and health tracking, and a clamshell charging case. It couldno-show at Unpacked, but given that Samsung has announced wearables at summer Unpacked events before, that seems unlikely.

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 specs leaked by Amazon
• Samsung Galaxy Ring, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 battery info revealed — could they last long on a charge?
• The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE wowed me, even as a lifelong Apple user

It should also come in gold, platinum, and black colorways with as many as 13 different sizing options. Any other information will have to wait until Unpacked, if the Galaxy Ring shows up there at all.

Galaxy Watch updates

Speaking of wearables and summer Unpacked events, the Galaxy Watch 7 is extremely likely to show up on July 10. In fact, it's so likely that a bunch of the specs just leaked on Amazon Canada.

If these specs are to be believed, the Galaxy Watch 7 will come in at least a 40mm size with at least a "Cream" colorway. There's a new BioActiveSensor 2 that is supposedly better at measuring your heart rate, and an unspecified chip powering the device. The listing also hints at AI features, such as smart replies to messages and some kind of daily AI health companion, though information on that is thin at this point.
