Samsung is reportedly planning to bring its Galaxy Unpacked event back to New York City this July, after a hiatus of over two years. This shift in location represents a departure from its usual summer schedule, as the company is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in the early weeks of July.
If the report from The JoongAng Daily is accurate, this will be the first time since August 2022 that NYC hosts the foldable smartphone launch, which featured the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4. In 2023, Samsung introduced its foldable devices in Paris on July 10, but this year’s event details remain unclear.
The anticipated return to New York has generated excitement among fans and industry experts alike. An additional report from The Bell indicates that mass production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 is expected to commence in May, signaling that preparations for the July launch are well underway.
The timeline for mass production complements the buzz about a summer launch, as the reports hint at significant upgrades and improvements over the previous models, the Fold 6 and Flip 6. Speculations suggest that the new devices may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, enhanced camera capabilities, and a sleeker design.
Alongside the foldable phones, the July Galaxy Unpacked event is anticipated to showcase new products, including a new Galaxy Watch and potentially Samsung’s Android XR headset. There may also be early glimpses of the Galaxy Z Flip FE and a rumored “tri-fold” device, culminating in an exciting lineup for Samsung enthusiasts.
