The appointment has been made and will take place just before the 2024 Paris Olympics in the French capital. Samsung will organize its Galaxy Unpacked in the summer of 2024 in Paris next July 10 and many announcements are to be expected.
The program is almost familiar and we decided to focus on the three new features that we are most looking forward to. As always, we are waiting for your opinions in the comments.
Galaxy Z Fold6: will it be the new king of foldable devices?
2023 was the year of the Galaxy Z Flip5 at Samsung, with the integration of a new secondary screen. THE Galaxy Z Fold5 he settled for a timid upgrade to establish his dominance, at least on this side of the globe.
The impression of a giant resting a little too much on his laurels was also confirmed Honor Magic V2 where is OnePlus Open they gave Samsung’s 2-in-1 an old-fashioned look.
Samsung cannot afford to make the same mistake twice and owes revenge to its users… and the market. The first details suggest a new, more compact and square design, with much more prominent edges. The Galaxy Z Fold6 would still have a 6.3-inch external screen, in a 22:9 format instead of 23.1:9.
It would also be lighter than its predecessor, showing a weight of 239 grams compared to 253 grams for Galaxy Z Fold5.
Along with the usual tech update, Samsung should highlight the Z Fold6’s qualities as a work tool. Like the Galaxy S24, the brand should highlight AI functions that increase productivity at work.
Another strength of the South Korean manufacturer is that its new smartphone should receive Android updates for seven years, or until 2030.
An argument that can definitely make a difference, especially for one of the most popular smartphones on the market.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 wouldn’t necessarily be Samsung’s most expensive smartphone.
For several months, certain indiscretions have been mentioning the existence of a Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra even more premium. Unfortunately, this model could only land in South Korea.
Why is this announcement important?
The competition is stronger than ever, and Samsung has it lost the crown in the first quarter of 2024, for the benefit of Huawei. The South Korean manufacturer cannot ignore this trend or the rise of brands like Honor, Motorola or OnePlus.
In the French market, the situation is less complicated and Samsung’s status should help make the Galaxy Z Fold6 a must-have.
Galaxy Ring: Samsung wants to put a ring on our finger
Anticipated for months, the Galaxy Ring must be one of the stars of the next Samsung Unpacked. The connected ring, shown during MWC 2024, retains an element of mystery even if we already know that it aims to offer health and sleep monitoring functions.
With the 2024 Olympics just around the corner, Samsung will highlight this aspect with a new product that should take the sector to a new dimension.
Due to its format, it would be even more accurate than a watch in monitoring heart rate, body temperature, movement and sleep. It was even said to be able to monitor its wearer’s diet.
This ring would cost between 300 and 350 dollars, and there are also rumors subscription arrival.
Why is this announcement important?
Some manufacturers are already well established (like Oura) and the Galaxy Ring will have competitors when it comes to market.
The stakes are high for Samsung, which has to convince people of the importance of wearing a wristband after focusing on connected watches and wristbands.
The format is radically different and could allow Samsung to complete its range of wearables, before the arrival of Chinese competition.
Galaxy AI: after Apple’s announcements, Samsung must react
Samsung mentioned Galaxy AI earlier this year, during the presentation of the Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra. Artificial intelligence functions are a big novelty of this vintage and help improve the user experience.
A few smartphones now can enjoy Galaxy AIincluding collapsibles such as Galaxy Z Flip5 AND Galaxy Z Fold5 or Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4.
However, the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 will be the first true foldable smartphones in the “era of artificial intelligence” declared by Samsung.
We can expect the South Korean manufacturer to try to do this at home. It could also offer new exclusive AI features.
The future Galaxy Z should bring with it the OneUI 6.1.1 update that will bring new features to Galaxy AI.
Although not reserved for new models, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has everything to become the new ambassador of Galaxy AI and mobile productivity.
Why is this announcement important?
As we saw with Apple, artificial intelligence is the main attraction on mobile devices. Samsung has made it a priority since the beginning of the year and will not give up on Galaxy AI, especially after the announcements of its rival and those of Google at the I/O conference.
There is no doubt that the South Korean group will continue to rely on Google technology to enrich its offer and convince to launch – later – a paid Galaxy AI plan.
