Samsung’s next event, scheduled for July 10 in Paris, promises a range of innovative devices, including new foldables, smartwatches and the intriguing Galaxy Ring.
Samsung is ready to shake up the quiet tech summer with its Samsung Unpacked event, scheduled for July 10 at 3:00 p.m. local time in Paris (9:00 a.m. ET). Although the launches of Galaxy S24 phones at the beginning of the year make the introduction of new traditional smartphones unlikely, important developments are expected in other product categories.
Galaxy Ring: Samsung’s new frontier.
One of the most anticipated devices is the Galaxy Ring, a foray by Samsung into the smart ring market. This device, which has been the subject of buzz throughout the year, will measure heart rate, movement and breathing, offering sleep and potentially fertility tracking. The Galaxy Ring is expected to be available in three colors (platinum silver, gold, and ceramic black) and in various sizes, and that it can be paired with other Galaxy devices for more accurate health data. While Samsung has yet to reveal the exact release date or price, this information will almost certainly be announced during the Unpacked event.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6: evolution in foldables.
Samsung is likely to unveil its new foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. The upgrades are expected to be minor, with improvements to the battery and performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The Z Flip 6 could include a 4,000mAh battery and RAM options up to 12GB, plus a 50MP camera. Meanwhile, the Z Fold 6 would maintain the same screen size and thickness as its predecessor, with improvements to screen durability and a slight battery upgrade.

Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Ultra.
The Galaxy Watch 7 is also expected to be unveiled, with a new 3nm chipset that would improve power efficiency and performance. This watch would include advanced AI-powered health and wellness features, such as sleep and exercise monitoring. In addition, rumors indicate that a Galaxy Watch Ultra could also make its debut. This model would be bulkier and would feature a crown-style digital dial and a combination of side buttons for navigation.
Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
It’s been a few years since the last major update to the Galaxy Buds, and Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro. Both models would be available in silver and white colors, with IP57 dust and water resistance. The Buds 3 Pro are expected to offer richer audio with a two-way speaker and advanced features like adaptive noise control and ambient sound. Samsung is also rumored to adopt a stem design to improve call quality, similar to Apple’s AirPods.
The Samsung Unpacked 2024 event promises to be one of the most exciting of the year, with a series of launches that could redefine the smart device market. From new foldables to the innovative Galaxy Ring and wearable improvements, Samsung is poised to offer a range of products that will combine advanced technology with innovative design.
