Samsung is gearing up for a highly anticipated Unpacked event in early or mid-July, where the tech giant is expected to unveil its latest innovations: the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and the Watch8 series. This exciting announcement will take place in New York, and as we approach the event, the buzz surrounding these devices is intensifying. All three devices have been undergoing the necessary certification processes, ensuring they meet safety and regulatory standards.
In recent news, both the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have successfully received the SafetyKorea certification, indicating that these foldable smartphones are one step closer to launch. The certified models are the SM-F966N, which corresponds to the Galaxy Z Fold7, and the SM-F766N, representing the Galaxy Z Flip7. The 'N' suffix in these model numbers signifies that they are specifically tailored for the Korean market.
In addition to the foldables, Samsung’s wearables are also making headlines. Both the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic have been certified by the GCF (Global Certification Forum), with model numbers SM-L335F and SM-L505F, respectively. While these certifications validate the devices' compliance with standards, they have not disclosed any specific technical specifications at this time.
Despite the lack of official specifications from the certifications, there has been a flurry of leaks regarding the upcoming devices. Samsung has also launched a teaser campaign for the Galaxy Z Fold7, focusing on its impressive slimness and enhanced camera capabilities. This marketing strategy is designed to build excitement leading up to the official announcement.
Moreover, the Galaxy Watch8 series is set to introduce a new squircle case design, a feature that is reminiscent of the design language pioneered by the Galaxy Watch Ultra in 2024. While the overall shape of the watches will be more squared-off, they will retain their round screens, blending style with functionality.
As we eagerly await the Samsung Unpacked event, the certification of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and the Watch8 series indicates that these devices are on track for a summer release. With numerous leaks and teasers, Samsung is successfully creating a buzz around its innovative foldable smartphones and stylish smartwatches. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the unveiling of these exciting new products!
