We're racing into the home stretch before Samsung's first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2023, sure to provide us with all the details on the Galaxy S23 series of smartphones — the good money says they will be this year's best-sellers for Android. All that's left for the company to do is announce when the announcement is going to happen. And it did last night, if only for a second.

The launch of Samsung's new foldable phones is getting closer and closer. We know almost everything there is to know about them, and we also know Samsung has announced a launch event for them. Both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Z Fold4 will see the light of day on August 10th, on the company's next Unpacked, where a bunch of other Samsung announcements are expected as well. In case it wasn't already clear that foldable phones will be front and center during the event.

It's no secret to anyone by now that Samsung's upcoming flagship line, the Galaxy S22 series, is just a few weeks away from its debut. All three of the S22 phones have leaked in thorough detail for a few months, and Samsung has already confirmed that an event will happen sometime in February. While the company stopped short of giving an exact date, speculation and rumors trying to nail it down have been running wild. Now a newly leaked image attempts to clear things up, and according to it, the S22 announcement is very, very close.

Samsung has just confirmed that its next Unpacked event, when the new Galaxy S22 series is expected to be unveiled, will happen in February. On top of that, the company tells us that its "Reserve Now" offers will open tomorrow, on Friday (10 AM ET or 7 AM PT), granting those with an early commitment an extra $50 in credit toward other Samsung-branded stuff when they make their purchase later.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has had a pretty eventful journey even before its official launch. Leaks first claimed a possible September-October unveil for the device before suggesting that it was canceled altogether. However, the Galaxy S21 FE leaks have reignited again over the last few weeks, with a recent rumor implying that it could launch at CES 2022 in early January. Now, Jon Prosser has shared more concrete details about the availability of Samsung's next Fan Edition device.

A potential comeback for Moto Maker-like customization

Remember Moto Maker? Motorola used to make it easy to personalize your Moto X or Moto G with whatever colors you liked the most, but it quietly discontinued the program several years ago. The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are the newest foldable devices from Samsung, complete with top-notch specs and, at least in the case of the Z Flip3, a more affordable price. With another event on the horizon, the company might be ready to pick up the mantle from Motorola, with the introduction of customizable colors for both of its folding phones.

We've been hearing about them for months, we've been anticipating their release just as long, and now the day is upon us. Samsung is half an hour away from unwrapping unfolding its newest flagships, the Z Flip3 and Z Fold3, and we've got the details for you to catch the event live.The August 2021 edition of Unpacked is taking place today, August 11 2021, at these times:

We're officially two weeks out from the launch of Samsung's fall flagships, and thanks to a series of extensive leaks over the last couple of months, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Not only will we finally see an S Pen-capable folding phone, but with any luck, the first Wear OS 3 watches will show their faces as well. If you're looking for a reason to get excited, Samsung's trailer for Galaxy Unpacked is teasing some big changes to the concept of a smartphone.

Samsung has killed two birds with one stone of a press release, teasing a few specifics of its upcoming Unpacked event including the presence of a stylus with a one model of folding phone and the absence of a familiar phablet series.

Like any tech company, Samsung loves to keep its upcoming devices as secretive as possible to surprise its fans during an official launch event. Of course, there's a certain saying about best-laid plans, which is why we have a pretty good idea of all of the upcoming gadgets arriving this fall. After accidentally showing off a couple of unannounced products in a promotional video, Samsung is officially teasing its next Galaxy Unpacked event with a bit of help from Bixby.

If you're planning on tuning in to Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, where the S21 is expected to be formally revealed, you'll have three new venues to enjoy it from. Samsung tells us it's going to be livestreaming to Twitch, TikTok, and Reddit as well, giving you three new ways to watch.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, at which we expect the company to formally announce its hotly anticipated Galaxy S21, is officially scheduled for January 14th (next Thursday), matching our earlier leaks. The event will be streamed from Samsung's site at 10AM ET (7AM PT).

Yes, you read that title right. Even though Samsung just had an Unpacked event slightly over a month ago, where the Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Watch3, and other products were revealed, Samsung is going to hold yet another livestream in just a couple days.

We're now just a couple of hours away from Samsung's Note20 Unpacked livestream. It'll likely bring us many mentions of the word "innovation," a tour of the company's electronics headquarters, a bunch of celebrity cameos, and, oh yes, new smartphones, a new tablet, and a new smartwatch. You can watch the event as it happens right here, starting at 7 a.m. PDT (10 a.m. EDT).

Samsung hypes this week's Unpacked event with new video teasers

Everything will be revealed August 5

Samsung has been slowly trickling information out about its August 5th Unpacked event. The show itself was announced earlier this month, and it was clarified that five "power devices" would be introduced at the event about a week ago. To keep interest high, Samsung is counting down the days with short videos teasing not just the products, but the whole program itself.

Samsung already announced that its next big launch event, Galaxy Unpacked, is set for August 5th. It was already expected that the Note20 would make an appearance, but now Samsung has revealed that no fewer than five new devices will be shown off at the event.

Samsung's Galaxy Buds series has offered some of the best wireless earbud options for Android users. The second-gen Galaxy Buds+ haven't been available for very long, but the company is already planning to unveil a new set of truly wireless audio offerings. A promo video of the Galaxy Buds Live has leaked on Twitter, giving us one of the closest looks yet at Samsung's new buds.

Samsung’s Galaxy S line for 2020 appears to have undergone a significant reshuffle, apart from the fact that its name now matches the year. Taking cues from the iPhone 11 series, the base model no longer has a separate, visibly lower-end ‘e’ branding, but is simply called the Galaxy S20, nor is it a slouch anymore. The new entrant—the S20 Ultra—takes the experience a notch higher with (slightly) superior internals, sitting right above the Plus model. The ambitious trio of flagships universally commits itself to 5G connectivity in the US, ditching the 4G-only variants for good.

Samsung and Spotify have been partnered for almost two years now, and tucked into the bevy of announcements during today's Samsung Unpacked was an expansion of that partnership. The Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z Flip, and Galaxy Buds+ will include several new, quick ways to listen to and share your favorite Spotify tunes.

If you've been wondering why the quality of Samsung's Unpacked live stream has been a bit iffy and at least partly mediocre, suffering from some strange colors and crushed shadows, the company may have just issued an explanation: It's filming the event from a Galaxy S20.
