Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is set to begin later today (July 10), and it is expected that Samsung’s latest product launch will center around two main themes: AI and health tracking.
AI is set to be introduced through additional Galaxy AI functionalities, Samsung’s approach to artificial intelligence which was first introduced during the previous Galaxy Unpacked event in January. Anticipate the launch of new Galaxy AI functionalities alongside the latest foldable smartphones from Samsung. Furthermore, Samsung has suggested that certain Galaxy AI capabilities could be tailored to optimize the foldable designs of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
There is at least one exciting aspect about the two phones, as rumors indicate that only minor updates are expected for the Fold and Flip. Both phones are expected to receive a new powerful chipset, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may see an improvement in its main camera sensor, but aside from that, there are no major changes rumored for these phones.
The main focus is on the health tracking features expected to steal the spotlight at Galaxy Unpacked. The Galaxy Ring, which was previously hinted at earlier this year, is set to be officially introduced, revealing the capabilities of this smart ring (as well as its anticipated price). Additionally, we anticipate an upgrade to the Galaxy Watch series, with the introduction of a new Galaxy Watch Ultra that is designed to cater to individuals seeking a durable, long-lasting watch for tracking their workouts.
Speculations suggest that these products will make an appearance at the Unpacked event scheduled for today :
Galaxy Z Fold 6 : The bigger foldable phone from Samsung may feature a cover display designed with a more user-friendly aspect ratio.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 : Anticipated is the replacement of the current 12MP sensor with a 50MP camera, while there is potential for an increase in the size of the cover display.
Galaxy Ring : Samsung’s first smart ring aims to track things like blood oxygen levels and sleep apnea.
Galaxy Watch 7 : Samsung’s standard smartwatch may receive a fresh design, along with improved battery performance.
Galaxy Watch Ultra : Samsung is anticipated to introduce a higher-end smartwatch.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 :
to differentiate between the rumors surrounding the Galaxy Watch 7 and the rumblings about the Galaxy Watch Ultra? In this comparison, we have dissected the information on both upcoming additions to Samsung’s watch collection.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to be larger, more robust, and equipped with a battery that lasts longer. Additionally, anticipate a significantly higher price tag compared to the starting price of the Galaxy Watch 7.
What will be the price of the new phones ?
Foldable smartphones such as the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 come with a hefty price tag, starting at $999 and $1,799 respectively. It seems that Samsung may need to reconsider its pricing strategy if it wants to make these devices more accessible to a wider audience.
Rumors suggest that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 could be even more expensive, with OnLeaks predicting a $100 price increase for each model. Additionally, there are reports of higher prices for these devices in Europe as well.
Increased rivalry for the Z Flip :
Motorola has introduced new versions of its foldable Razr phone, including the Motorola Razr Plus (2024) and the lower-cost Motorola Razr (2024). The Razr Plus is a direct competitor to the Samsung Flip, with a larger cover screen, a new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, and camera improvements.
On the other hand, the $699 Motorola Razr (2024) requires some compromises, such as a less powerful chipset and camera performance issues in low light. However, it has addressed one of the biggest issues with the 2023 model by expanding the cover display. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 could face competition from both directions.
Potential cost of Galaxy Ring :
Samsung has provided a sneak peek at the Galaxy Ring, but details on pricing have been scarce. This is expected to change today during Unpacked, where we anticipate an official announcement regarding the cost and availability of the smart ring.
Until then, we can only speculate on the potential price of the Galaxy Ring. Typically, smart rings are priced around $300, excluding any additional subscription fees for enhanced features.
Leaked information suggests that the Galaxy Ring may be priced between $300 and $350, making it slightly more expensive than the Oura Ring. However, it remains uncertain whether Samsung will introduce a recurring subscription fee for the Galaxy Ring.
Introducing the Bioactive Sensor of the Galaxy Watch :
Samsung has already provided a glimpse of the new features that will be included in the Galaxy Watch 7, which is expected to be featured at Galaxy Unpacked. One of the highlights is the BioActive health sensor, which has been detailed by fitness editor James Frew.
This sensor will be embedded in Samsung smartwatches, and the upgraded version promises optimized sensor placement for more accurate readings, particularly for heart rate monitoring. Additionally, the chip has more space and the LEDs used for heart rate measurement have been improved.
Conclusion :
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10 will highlight advancements in AI technology and health monitoring capabilities. The event is expected to unveil the latest iterations of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, with slight improvements and possible price adjustments.
Additionally, the Galaxy Ring, a health-focused device, and an enhanced Galaxy Watch series, featuring the new Galaxy Watch Ultra, are anticipated to be revealed. With growing competition, especially from Motorola’s latest Razr phones, and potential price hikes for Samsung’s products, the market landscape is evolving. While the pricing details for the Galaxy Ring are not confirmed, estimates suggest it could fall within the range of $300 to $350.
