In preparation for the next wave of Galaxy devices, the company has also announced the opening of its U.S. reservation offers.

What to expect at the August Unpacked event

This is the second Galaxy Unpacked event to be held this year, following , where Samsung unveiled its . Typically, Samsung uses its winter events to set the tone for the year by focusing on its flagship smartphones, saving some of its more exotic products for its midyear event. For instance, over the past two years, Samsung has used its August unpacked event to debut new models of its Galaxy Z series devices, such as last year’s . New models also generally show up at Samsung’s August event. This means it’s a safe bet that the and will be the event’s highlights, which is also apparent from the invitation graphic that Samsung is using (above). Some sources report the tagline for the event will be “Unfold The World,” although Samsung hasn’t mentioned that in its announcement. By all reports, we expect the new pair of Galaxy Z series devices to feature mostly iterative design changes, suggesting that Samsung has settled on its style for its folding smartphones — for now, at least. From the renders making the rounds, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be more about refining the design for a cleaner and more elegant look that will align more closely with the . The is expected to change even less on the outside, although both new models will gain the , a beefed-up version of the used in the . Performance between the two will be differentiated mostly by memory and storage capacity, with the pricier Fold 4 expected to get up to 12GB RAM and 512GB of fast UFS storage, while the Flip 4 sticks with an 8GB and 256GB configuration. Samsung’s and are likely to be the other big news next month. The pair of new models will change the lineup’s branding from the previous and duo. The Galaxy Watch 5 series will likely sport if recently leaked renders are accurate, along with improvements to the health sensors that could also see the addition of skin temperature monitoring to Samsung’s wearable. There’s also a possibility that Samsung could take this opportunity to release the , a follow-up to the original Galaxy Buds Pro that showed up in January 2021. Rumor has it that the new earbuds are already in production, with some analysts suggesting that we should have seen them on shelves by now. Since this hasn’t happened, Samsung is likely saving them to round out its August 10 Unpacked event.

Reserve offers

Samsung has also opened its reserve offers, and the deals give us a pretty good idea of the type of devices we can expect. Specifically, anyone who signs up for a Galaxy phone, watch, and buds bundle can get a $200 credit on the whole package. The offers drop from there, with Samsung giving $150 toward a Galaxy phone and watch or $130 for a Galaxy phone and buds. At the bottom of the scale, reserving Galaxy buds alone reaps a $30 credit. However, Samsung is also offering an additional $100 credit to use on Samsung.com toward other eligible products when you reserve a Galaxy phone. That’s double the credit it provided with the Galaxy S22. Samsung notes that these are no-commitment offers, which makes sense since you don’t know exactly what it is that you’ll be reserving until Samsung unveils its new devices on August 10. You only need to provide your name and email address to reserve your devices, and you’ll be able to redeem your reserve credit when you actually place your pre-order.
