Alongside the foldables, the South Korean tech giant is expected to launch a new range of wearables. One of the highlights of the range is said to be the new Samsung Galaxy Glasses, marking the tech giant's foray into a new category. During Google I/O, we caught a glimpse of the smart wearable.
However, the smart glasses could finally get a price tag and will soon be available for you.
According to reports, Samsung will produce 2.8 million units of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 this year, outpacing the production targets of both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Samsung could manufacture 2 million units of Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, while it is reportedly targeting 1.5 million units of Galaxy Z Flip 8.
These figures appear to show a significant shift from Samsung's original production plans, which reportedly allocated manufacturing capacity almost evenly between the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
The most notable announcement during this year’s Galaxy Unpacked is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is the company’s long-rumoured wide-foldable. While previous iterations have followed a traditional book-style form factor, this year's model could adopt a shorter and noticeably wider frame. It could have a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display, a 5.5-inch cover screen, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset.
Samsung has begun pre-reservations for its next-generation Galaxy foldable smartphones and smartwatches in India ahead of launch. Interested customers in India can secure pre-order benefits by paying a refundable token amount of Rs. 999 on the Samsung India website. Those who pre-reserve an eligible Galaxy device will receive a voucher worth Rs. 2,799, which can be redeemed during the final pre-order of the handset after launch.
Customers who pre-reserve these devices will also be eligible for the highest exchange value when purchasing the new smartphones or smartwatches.
Samsung’s latest hardware showcase will take place in London at 6:30pm IST. While it is primarily an in-person affair, it will also be live-streamed on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and its official YouTube channel.
