The event promises to unveil a range of new products and the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) under its Galaxy AI platform. While the spotlight will likely be on the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 foldable smartphones, Samsung is also expected to introduce new ecosystem devices, including the innovative Samsung Galaxy Ring. Here’s everything you need to know about the event.

What to Expect from the Galaxy Unpacked Event
Galaxy AI
Earlier this year, Samsung confirmed that an optimized version of its Galaxy AI will be introduced with the upcoming foldable devices. One of the key features to look forward to is the expanded “Live Translate” function, which uses on-device AI to translate phone calls in real-time. This feature, initially available on Samsung’s native call dialer, will now extend to third-party apps such as WhatsApp. This expansion ensures that the entire process of real-time call translation for third-party apps will be handled on-device, enhancing privacy and efficiency.
Foldable Smartphones: Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to be the highlights of the event. These foldable smartphones will feature AI-powered functionalities designed specifically for their unique form factors.
Galaxy Z Fold 6: This book-style foldable is anticipated to have a 6.3-inch cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Inside, it will sport a 7.6-inch bendable AMOLED display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Notable updates may include a new frame design, possibly using titanium for increased durability. The Z Fold 6 is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 system-on-chip (SoC), with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB storage.
Galaxy Z Flip 6: The flip-style smartphone is expected to feature a flat frame design with metallic rings around the rear cameras. It is anticipated to have a larger battery compared to its predecessor, although this might be a minor upgrade. The Z Flip 6 will likely include a dual-screen translation mode, allowing real-time text translation between the outer and inner displays.
Galaxy Watch 7 Series and Watch Ultra
In the smartwatch category, Samsung is expected to introduce two new models: a baseline model and an Ultra model.
Galaxy Watch 7 Series: Both models will share similar features, including enhanced AI functionalities. The Ultra model, however, will stand out with its rugged build, featuring a titanium case, square-shaped dial, and sapphire glass protection. It will also boast a larger display with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and a battery life lasting up to 100 hours.
Samsung has confirmed that the new Galaxy Watch series will include an advanced BioActive sensor for improved health insights. This sensor will enable sophisticated wellness features and provide better health metric measurements. The integration of Galaxy AI into the Galaxy Health app is expected to offer more intelligent health and wellness tools.
Galaxy Buds 3 Series
Samsung is reportedly planning a complete redesign of its wireless earbuds with the Galaxy Buds 3 series.
Galaxy Buds 3: This series will feature both standard and pro models, adopting a stem design instead of the traditional pod design. The new design aims to improve microphone quality by placing the mics closer to the mouth, ensuring better directional voice reception. The earbuds case will also undergo a redesign, featuring a rectangular shape with a transparent lid displaying the Samsung branding.
Galaxy Ring
Announced earlier this year, the Galaxy Ring is set to officially launch at the Unpacked event.
Galaxy Ring: This new fitness tracking wearable will be available in black, gold, and silver colors, and offered in nine different sizes. The battery capacity of each ring will vary depending on its size, ranging from 17mAh to 22mAh.
Reports suggest that the Galaxy Ring will come with a buds-like charging case. While Samsung has not disclosed detailed health features, the ring is expected to complement the Galaxy Watch, offering heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, electrocardiogram (ECG) functions, and physical activity tracking.
