Samsung Confirms Highly Anticipated Galaxy Z Fold Launch Details

Samsung has confirmed that the next Galaxy Unpacked launch event will take place in Paris on July 10th. The South Korean company will unveil its next foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold6, alongside the Z Flip6 and several new accessories.

The foldable hardware wilt, no doubt, catch the eye of many. Foldable phones remain one of the high frontiers of design, pushing the physical limits with flexing screens, small yet robust hinges, and less usable internal volume than the regular candy bar phone.

Samsung will push to find the edge of these envelopes, although that may hold back some specifications to fit everything in. The community may have to settle for camera hardware that debuted in 2022’s Galaxy Z Fold4.

Also launching will be three key peripherals. The Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Buds3 will be joined by Samsung’s Galaxy Ring fitness and health tracker. This was teased at January’s Galaxy Unpacked, but details on its capabilities and software are currently scant.

While the hardware will be the biggest reveal for consumers, those looking at Samsung’s wider strategy will focus on the improvements and new tools that will be added to Galaxy AI. Launched alongside the Galaxy S24 family in January, Samsung has the highest market share of any AI-enabled smartphone since Google opened up the category with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in October 2023.

Samsung will expect the launch of two of the biggest foldable phones to continue in the first place and extend its lead as the leading AI smartphone manufacturer.

The event will stream live on Samsung’s YouTube page.
