Because it matters
Samsung will reach its fourth generation of foldable phones, which started with the Galaxy Z Fold in 2019.
What’s next
As the foldable phone space grows, both the rumored Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 could reveal features we’ll see in foldable phones from other companies next year, such as rumored devices from Motorola and Google. Samsung Unpacked August 2022 is just a few days away. The event, which is scheduled for Wednesday, August 10, will likely feature upcoming models of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. The rumored Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 will be successors to the $1,800 Z Fold 3 and $1,000 Z Flip 3, and Samsung’s promotional art for the event showing a Z Flip phone appears to tease new foldable phones on the way . In addition to foldable phones, Samsung may also give a glimpse into the future of its Galaxy Watch series as Samsung continues its partnership with Google on the latest version of the Wear OS operating system. That version of Wear OS — which will eventually incorporate features from Google’s Fitbit — is currently on last year’s Galaxy Watch 4. Now that it’s been a year since that watch first appeared, Samsung may have a new Galaxy Watch 5 ready for 2022 along with new details about Wear OS. Some announcements that Samsung has revealed could even make it to Google’s Pixel Watch later this year. Samsung Unpacked will take place as a live broadcast from 6am. PT (9 a.m. ET) on August 10, with the company planning to broadcast on Samsung’s YouTube channel, Samsung.com and Samsung’s Newsroom. As the event gets closer, we’ll embed the live stream into this post. CNET will also have live coverage, including a pre-show and post-show, highlighting the latest reveals in Samsung’s Galaxy lineup. This live event will be streamed on CNET’s YouTube channel and will be accompanied by reports from CNET staff. Samsung’s next Unpacked event comes as phones featuring the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip hit the market, including the OnePlus 10T, Asus Zenfone 9 and RedMagic 7S Pro. It also comes about a month before Apple is expected to unveil its 2022 iPhone lineup, which is expected to coincide with the iPhone 14 and the public release of iOS 16.
