Samsung’s annual summer launch event is almost here. The company will hold its August Galaxy Unpacked event on August 10th at 9AM ET, one year and one day after last year’s foldable-focused event. And, if rumors are to be believed, we’re set for a very similar lots of announcements consisting of a pair of foldables \u2014 the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 \u2014 a new lineup of smartwatches with the Galaxy Watch 5, and most likely some new earbuds. <\/p>\n
We know there are foldables on the way because Samsung’s basically showed them to us in its promotional images and official trailer for its August 10th launch, and Samsung’s smartphone boss teased \u201cnew Samsung Galaxy foldables\u201d in a blog post about the launch. The sheer quantity of Watch 5 leaks also has us pretty confident that it’s due for a reveal imminently. Last year also saw the announcement of a new pair of true wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 2, and this year we’re expecting to see the launch of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. We previously some renders of these last month, and a big last minute leak seems to confirm they’re ready for the event itself. <\/p>\n
Samsung used to use its summer launch events to announce a new generation of Galaxy Note phones. But last year, it skipped over releasing what would have been the Galaxy Note 21 entirely and officially confirmed it was discontinuing the brand earlier this year. Instead, the trademark features of the Note lineup have been integrated into the more premium devices in the Galaxy S range, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra sporting a Note-inspired design and built-in S Pen stylus. <\/p>\n
In other words, don’t expect a Note 22 to be announced this week. Instead, here’s what Samsung could have on offer. <\/p>\n
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold devices are designed to pair the pocket-ability of a typical smartphone with the larger screen size of a tablet. That doesn’t look to be changing for the fourth generation of the foldable, which like last year, appears to pair a 7.6-inch internal folding display with a 6.2-inch cover display, according to a leaked list of specs posted by Twitter leaker Ice Universe<\/a>. <\/p>\n Leaked press shots of the Z Fold 4 suggest it could also feature a very similar design to last year’s handset. They show a trio of cameras on its rear contained within an oval camera bump as well as what appears to be a centrally orientated hole-punch selfie cutout on the cover display. <\/p>\n 100% accurate \u2014 Ice universe (@UniverseIce) May 30, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n But while the device as a whole appears similar, there are hints of some changes coming to this year’s phone. For starters, although the corner-to-corner size of the internal display appears to be staying the same, Ice Universe reports<\/a> that the screen might have a slightly wider aspect ratio that’s closer to a square than the 5:4 aspect ratio we saw last time. <\/p>\n Reports suggest there are also some more tangible upgrades on the way. Obviously there’s likely to be a faster processor rumored to be a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 this time around, but it also looks like the Z Fold 4 could be getting a camera upgrade. Leaked specs suggest it’ll now feature a 50-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and 10-megapixel telephoto on its rear, according to Ice Universe \u2014 the same as what we saw on this year’s Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. Last year’s model had a trio of 12-megapixel shooters instead, meaning we might be getting a higher resolution main camera at the expense of a slightly lower resolution telephoto.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Ice Universe’s leaks suggest we might once again get an under-display selfie camera on the inside of the Fold 4, which was responsible for some truly mediocre shots on last year’s phone. It’s also reportedly still only 4 megapixels in resolution. <\/p>\n\n
