What to expect from the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event

The biggest announcements expected at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is likely to be the arrival of the new Galaxy Z foldables. Samsung has teased the arrival of its new foldable phones — you can even pre-book the upcoming handsets before Samsung unveils them. These phones are likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which are expected to debut as the successors to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 that were launched by the company a year ago.

While the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is tipped to bring a few visual tweaks compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 from last year, the clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable phone is said to feature a larger cover display compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 4, which has a 1.9-inch outer screen. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to compete with the Oppo Find N2 Flip and the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra in India.

Besides the new foldable phones, Samsung is also likely to launch the Galaxy Tab S9 series of tablets at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Details of the design and specifications of the top-of-the-line model recently leaked online, hinting at that presence of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset on the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, along with a dual rear camera setup.

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is tipped to feature a rotating bezel, as per previous leaks and reports. Samsung could also announce the Galaxy Buds 3 as its third generation of Galaxy-branded TWS earphones alongside the foldable phones, tablets, and smartwatches on Wednesday.
