Samsung Korea will hold an Unpacked event on August 11th. At the event, the next folding smartphones "Galaxy Z Fold 3" and "Galaxy Z Flip 3", the next smart watch "Galaxy Watch 4", and the next wireless earphone "Galaxy Buds 2" are expected to be announced.

The highlight of this event is the next-generation foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The smartphone is expected to be the first Samsung foldable smartphone to support the stylus "S Pen." In addition, the S Pen will be designed specifically for folding smartphones.

It is also noteworthy that it supports the waterproof function of IPX8. Folding smartphones have a hinge in the center of the main body, so they have not been equipped with a waterproof function so far. Details on how the Galaxy Z Fold 3 solved this problem will be announced at the event.

The large-screen smartphone "Galaxy Note series" that was announced in the summer will not be announced at this event. It is rumored that the model of the Galaxy Note series will be abolished, and the future is worrisome.

Compact folding smartphones have also evolved

Samsung has developed two models as foldable smartphones, and the "Galaxy Z Flip series" is a compact shape that can be folded vertically. At the event, the latest Galaxy Z Flip 3 is expected to appear.

In Galaxy Z Flip3, it is rumored that the sub-display installed on the back will be larger. The Galaxy Z Flip's 1-inch sub-display was barely able to show the time and battery level, but the Galaxy Z Flip 3 could be used for selfies and more.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is also rumored to be compatible with IPX8 waterproof performance. In addition, this folding smartphone does not seem to support writing with S Pen.

Next-generation OS-based smart watches and wireless earphones

Samsung's next smartwatch "Galaxy Watch 4 Series" is also a noteworthy product. This is equipped with the next-generation OS "Wear OS 3" jointly developed by Samsung and Google, and with the adoption of the new skin "One UI Watch", the interface and functions will be renewed. Also, the performance of the new processor for smart watches developed by Samsung is likely to attract attention.

Although there is not much information about the next wireless earphone Galaxy Buds 2, it is rumored that it will improve sound quality and have an active noise reduction function. On the other hand, it does not seem to support the playback of spatial audio.

As you can see, Samsung's Unpacked event is rumored to announce many new products. In particular, the support for the S Pen of folding smartphones is likely to make a strong impression that Samsung's premium smartphones are folding models.
