What to Expect

Galaxy Z Flip 8

One of the biggest highlights of the event – company’s clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to receive major redesign changes. Here’s what we can expect:

• A redesigned hinge for improved durability
• Updated processor and internal hardware
• A lighter overall build
• Minor refinements to the display and battery efficiency

But rumors have it that you shouldn’t be expecting any significant changes in the device this year. According to reports, the component costs along with the global memory supply situation might have influenced company’s hardware decisions.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Series

Another biggest announcement could be book-style foldable called Glaazy Z Fold 8. Samsung is expected to launch two Fold models in the event:

• Galaxy Z Fold 8
• Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is likely to have a larger foldable screen with a better aspect ratio for multitasking, reading and watching videos. In addition, some reports indicated that Samsung would be cutting down on the number of sensors on the rear camera system, making it a two-sensor camera instead of a three-sensor camera, to help control manufacturing costs.

It’s supposed to offer:

• Better foldable display technology, less crease visible in foldable display
• A higher-end processor
• Triple rear camera setup
• Faster wired charging support

Extra added-value options that make it even more distinct from the regular Fold model:

Some confusion persists on where Samsung will place the two Fold models. Some analysts think that some of the premium hardware features like the wider display may only be present in the Ultra model and not in both models.

In addition to that, Samsung has released teaser photos in its social media that suggest it’s implementing a more expansive foldable format with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, raising even more speculation that meaningful updates are on the horizon with the Z Fold series.

Samsung is also expected to reveal-wearable lineup, apart from the smartphones

Recent reports have tied both the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 to the event. A lot is yet to be known about the new smartwatches, but they can be expected to come with some routine hardware upgrades as well as software updates leveraging the new version of Wear OS and Samsung’s One UI Watch user interface.

In addition, there is a rumour that Samsung will be releasing an update for its Android XR platform and their rumoured smart glasses. But a few reports indicate that the company may decide to reveal those products at a separate event later this year, rather than in the July launch.

Focus on Galaxy AI

Samsung has yet to provide any official details, but Galaxy AI is likely to continue to play a significant role in Samsung’s announcement. Over the last year, the company has been rolling out more AI-driven capabilities on smartphones, and the new foldables may add more productivity, camera, and communication capabilities specifically for larger foldables.

Add Techlusive as a Preferred Source

Samsung may also emphasize enhancements in on-device AI processing, which can minimize the need for cloud-based features and boost privacy and response times.
