The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 might not be a massive upgrade over its predecessor, but it’s still one of the best foldable smartphones you can get your hands on today. While Samsung has improved the hinge mechanism and the display, the phone still has a crease and it’s quite thick compared to other devices, such as the OnePlus Open.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been on market shelves for a while and is one of the best flip phones you can buy. However, Samsung is already working on a successor which should launch as the Galaxy Z Flip 6. It is likely to arrive a bit earlier than the 2023 model and should feature major changes on the inside. Notwithstanding, for those who already own the Galaxy Z Flip 5 or are considering picking one up, it is paramount to protect it with a case.
The next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked could happen sooner than you think
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 may launch by early July
Samsung took the wraps off the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Z Flip 5 in late July last year, although leaks prior to their arrival had revealed everything we needed to know. But the company may not wait that long for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Z Fold 6 this year, according to a new report.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023: Everything we saw at the summer event
From the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 to brand-new smartwatches and tablets
It wouldn't be summer without a Samsung Unpacked announcement, and the tech giant didn't disappoint at its 2023 event. The company hosts two events each year, where it unveils the latest and greatest Samsung smartphones, tablets, wearables, and any other accessories you can dream up. After launching the Samsung Galaxy S23 series in February, the summer event focused on upgrading its foldable lineup alongside the Galaxy Watch 6 series and a new trio of tablets. If you missed the live event, here's a quick rundown to catch you up.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: News, specs, price, and release date
You'll flip for joy now that Samsung's next clamshell phone is here
Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Flip 5 at an Unpacked event held in Seoul, South Korea on July 26th. The competition in the Flip-style foldable market has increased in recent years, with Motorola and Oppo coming with some impressive offerings. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is an iterative upgrade over the Flip 4, with the highlight being the bigger 3.4-inch cover display. It allows you to do much more on the Flip 5 without flipping it open.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 fixes my biggest gripe with Samsung's flip phone
The biggest upgrade is a larger front display, but little else has changed
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of seven gadgets announced during the second Unpacked event of 2023, and it’s the most remarkable of this new series. While the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Watch 6, and Galaxy Tab S9 series are all iterative updates, the Z Flip 5 is the biggest change from the Z Flip 4. That said, it isn’t a huge upgrade from its predecessor.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6: News, specs, price, and release date
Everything you need to know about Samsung's latest watches
We've been eagerly watching leaks and rumors for months, but the wait is finally over: Samsung has taken the wraps off the Galaxy Watch 6 series at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Korea. As a follow-up to the excellent (if predictable) Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic have a lot to live up to. Here's everything you need to know about Samsung's latest wearables.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 wasn't made for you
Samsung is coming for first-time foldable buyers — upgraders be damned
As we rapidly approach the fifth anniversary of the original Galaxy Fold next year, it's hard to believe how quickly foldables have evolved from an ultra-expensive, ultra-niche product category into… well, something just as expensive, but a little less niche. While Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series has yet to dip below an $1,800 starting price — not including the occasional sale on aging hardware, of course — it has developed into something you could expect your average Android user to actually consider when it's time for a new phone.
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 series debuted at the beginning of this year. But that does not mean the Korean giant is done with its major product announcements for the year. Samsung is holding its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year later today (July 26), where it is set to announce some of the most anticipated foldables of the year: the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5. Additionally, the company will continue its dominance in the Android smartwatch segment with the Galaxy Watch 6 series. If you are excited about Samsung's upcoming products, here's how to catch all the action live.
Your chance to save $50 on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Flip 5 is about to end, don’t miss out
It’s completely commitment-free and actually goes towards what you want this year
It's T-minus two days until the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. Before you know it, the brand-spanking new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Watch 6, Watch 6 Pro/Classic, and the million Galaxy Tab S9 series sizes (fine, there are only three) are here. These products are heavily rumored to be launching on Wednesday, and now is your last chance to take advantage of the $50 credit Samsung is giving away to ever so slightly mitigate the financial damage the new releases will bring forth. We already got everyone up to speed with this offer before, but now, it's really your final chance to score the $50 credit. Don't worry, though; you aren't required to buy anything in case nothing in the launch strikes your fancy.
Samsung Unpacked's $50 reserve bonus is both its cheapest — and its most useful
It may be less than half of what was offered last year, but who cares when you can actually use it on what you wanted?
When the reserve bonus for Samsung's July 26 Unpacked event was initially announced at $50, I was floored. The same $50 reservation bonus was given back during the Galaxy S23 pre-reserve period, but that had been less than half of the reserve bonuses we saw around last August's Unpacked launch. And the S23 series topped out at $1,200; the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will almost certainly be at or above the gut-punching $1,800 price tag of its predecessors.
Samsung's presence in the mobile industry expands beyond smartphones and tablets. The company also sells wireless earbuds like the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, launched during the company's mid-year Galaxy Unpacked event in 2022. The 2023 iteration is slated to take place in late July rather than August, with rumors pointing to a July 26 date. But while we're expected to see a handful of new devices at the hardware event, newly surfaced information suggests that Samsung's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro may not see a successor at this year's Unpacked.
Samsung’s summer Galaxy Unpacked event might come a little early this year
The Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are all expected to be on the agenda
Each August, Samsung typically holds its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year to show off its newest devices. It's usually a big show, with everything from new phones to smartwatches on the agenda. This year, it sounds like Unpacked might be coming a little sooner than we'd thought.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch4 might show up as soon as August
It looks like the much-anticipated Unpacked event should be next month
Samsung has plenty of new gadgets on the horizon, and nearly all of them have leaked out. From the Galaxy Z Flip3 and S Pen-equipped Z Fold3 to the hotly-anticipated Galaxy Watch4 series, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the fall lineup. All that's been missing is when we'll actually see the launch for all these new devices, but a new report is finally filling in those details.
After a million leaks and rumors, the Galaxy S21 is about to be officially announced today at Samsung's first Unpacked event of 2021. The annual Galaxy S series affair, which usually takes place in February, has been brought forward a whole month this time around, likely because 2020 felt a lot longer than one single year and people need something to get excited about — or for some boring financial reason. Regardless, Unpacked in happening in less than 90 minutes and we've got the deets on when and how to watch it right here.
Samsung teases the S21 in new video like you haven’t already seen everything about the phone
The video footage is in line with the leaks
It's no secret that Samsung will hold its Unpacked event this Thursday, January 14, and it's all but certain that we'll see the Galaxy S21 lineup — the upcoming flagship series has already leaked substantially. But Samsung still wants to drum up some excitement around the devices. The company has just dropped a trailer for the event, saying that "You don't want to miss this."

Samsung is preparing to show off a few upcoming products today. Alongside the expected Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e, we might get another peek at the company's foldable phone. And hey, maybe that Bixby speaker will finally get a release date — I know you're all waiting with bated breath for that one.
Galaxy Unpacked is almost upon us, but if the leaks don't stop, there won't be much left to unpack at the event tomorrow. While renders and hands-on images of the S10 family have been popping up for a few weeks, we now have an official Samsung television commercial that aired a day early in Norway, showing us the Galaxy S10+ in its entirety.
Samsung will host its Unpacked event in San Francisco in a few days, on February 20, to unveil its new flagships.
