Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023: What to Expect and How to Watch ?
Samsung has confirmed the date of its Galaxy Unpacked event. It’ll take place on July 26th and will see the launch of a whole host of new hardware products. The company is set to unveil new Android tablets, smartwatches, and—best of all—the fifth generation of its folding phones.
Let’s take a closer look at what to expect from Galaxy Unpacked and how you can watch it.

What to Expect From Samsung Unpacked
Galaxy Unpacked for July 2023 looks set to be a big one. There will be new folding devices, additions to the Galaxy Watch range, and a new high-end tablet.
The Galaxy Buds 3 were also rumored to be making an appearance, but the latest word suggests they’ll be held back until August when they might launch alongside another new phone, the Galaxy S23 FE
The Galaxy Z Fold 5.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will debut as the primary product. The device is already known to have been the subject of multiple leaks, and it appears to be an iterative update that will cost the same as its predecessors.
We can anticipate one significant difference, though: the phone will now fold fully flat when closed thanks to a newly built hinge mechanism. Hands-on pictures of it in use were shared on Reddit and mentioned by Android Police.
Aside from the screen crease, about which we know little so far, this has been one of the most requested features in folding phones.
Galaxy Z Flip 5
The Flip series is the more mainstream, more affordable, and much bigger-selling foldable. The Z Flip 5 will come with one huge upgrade over last year’s model—a larger cover screen akin to that on the Moto Razr+.
The theory behind bigger outer displays is that they enable you to do more on your phone without needing to flip it open. That leads to less distraction and potentially better battery life, too.
However, it all depends on how it is implemented, and renowned Twitter leaker Evan Blass has suggested that there might not be many software features to take advantage of it at launch.
What’s trending in Galaxy world?
Beyond that, the phone is thought to be getting a gapless hinge like the Fold 5, along with an improved IP rating to make the phone more durable.
Galaxy Watch 6
Next up is the Galaxy Watch 6, which looks set to be coming in two flavors: the Watch 6 and the Watch 6 Classic. The latter will see the return of the rotating bezel that was popular in the earlier models, but which was removed last time around.
The biggest changes, though, will be on the software side. Samsung has already announced that the watches will launch with the new One UI 5 Watch skin, presumably on top of Wear OS 3 (although Wear OS 4 is on the way). It brings a raft of health features like personalized heart rate zones and improved sleep tracking.
Galaxy Tab S9
Finally, expect a new premium tablet in the form of the Galaxy Tab S9. Android tablets have seen something of a renaissance in 2023, through the likes of the Pixel Tablet and the OnePlus Pad, so Samsung needs to keep up with its new competition.
There are likely to be three models—including Plus and Ultra versions—with the screens getting increasingly bigger. The devices look like incremental upgrades, with modest design tweaks and bumped-up specs. But the base S9 could have an OLED display, giving it an advantage over the LCD-equipped iPad.
The Next Samsung Launch Is Coming
Samsung’s summer launch event usually takes place in August, so the 2023 version is happening a little earlier than expected. As such, we’ll have to wait and see what the Fold 5 release date is, or that of the other new devices. Although you’ll likely be able to pre-order straight away, you may have to wait a few weeks before getting your hands on the new gear.
