The Morning After: What to expect at Samsung’s Unpacked 2023 event next week | engaged

With the competition to finally invent the best foldable devices starting, Samsung looks set to prove it can still deliver the best of them. The next Unpacked event will introduce a new generation of foldable phones, along with smartwatches and tablets. That’s what we hope for.

While it doesn’t mention new hardware, the company is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, this year the priorities are reversed. Where the book-style fold is usually the main attraction, the flip clamshell is probably getting the most attention this year, with a front screen big enough to take on the competition. Both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 may use a “waterdrop” hinge, which narrows down the opening when closed. Why should we care? It curves thinner and has a smaller opening when the device is closed.

On the wearables front, the company is not-so-subtly suggesting that the Galaxy Watch 6 will come unpacked, and reports also point to the Classic or Pro version bringing back the physical rotating bezel. (Some people are crazy about smartwatches with rotating bezels.)

Samsung’s latest premium Android, the Galaxy Tab S9 is expected to round out. We expect better screens and perhaps IP67 dust and water protection in the Base, Plus and Ultra versions of the laptop.

Samsung will stream the event starting at 7AM ET on the 26th. If you want to stay up late, don’t worry – we’ll be live blogging and hopefully getting some work done with the new equipment. stay tuned.
