These new products are a part of Samsung’s new mission to provide “mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously wherever we go,” said Samsung president and head of mobile communications Roh Tae-moon.

While Roh did tease the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, he did not confirm if the phone would be launched during the Galaxy Unpacked event.

“(These devices) combine power with seamless functionality, whether you’re at work or play, at home or away. In the Next Normal, you will be empowered to live life to the fullest with these devices in your hand (and in your ears, and on your wrist),” Roh said on Monday.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Galaxy’s Unpacked event will be livestreamed from South Korea on August 5, 2020. Viewers can watch the “virtual experience” online at Samsung.com at 10 a.m. ET.

At the company’s first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2020 in February, held at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts before the coronavirus shut down live events for good, Samsung announced three variations of the Galaxy S20, the Samsung Z Flip smartphone, and the Galaxy Buds+. The flagship S20 was the star of the show, of course, but we were struck by the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, the second of its foldable phones, which was finally released on Valentine’s Day. The new Z Flip folds on a horizontal axis and features a 6.7-inch screen.

Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don't reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.

One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won't be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.

Smartphone manufacturers rarely change how rear cameras look from generation to generation. When they do, it makes news, like when the regular Apple iPhone 16 launched with a new vertical pill-shaped camera system last month. Now, Samsung is about to make a camera design change, this time on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship device will feature a camera design slightly similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While this isn’t an earth-shattering change, it’s interesting nonetheless.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been on our radar for quite a while now, especially with a potential new design, AI functionality, and a whole slew of other awesome features. Its display has been a special topic of conversation with leaker Ice Universe's info drops, and now we have even more solid news: The tipster posted pictures of the actual displays online.

Ice Universe's picture shows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra laid out side-by-side. The image confirms the theorized thinner bezels and the Ultra's rounded corners. It's not easy to gauge size based on a picture, but it's evident that the S25 Ultra is larger than the other two models. That said, Ice Universe previously suggested the display would be roughly 6.9 inches along the diagonal. This most recent shot lends credence to that.
