Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is set to happen today on July 10, 2024. We'll see new and exciting gadgets, like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 phones, the first Galaxy Ring, the Watch 7 and Watch Ultra, and the Galaxy Buds 3. The event will be held in Paris, but of course, not everyone can be there. Luckily, you won't have to hear about it from others. You can catch livestreams online, and here's how.
Galaxy Unpacked will hold on YouTube
Samsung's second Galaxy Unpacked event of 2024 will be held at the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in Paris, today at 3 PM Central European Time (CET). The physical event is exclusively for the press and media members, so you shouldn't be there if you're neither of those persons.
Luckily, Samsung will livestream the whole thing on YouTube. So, you can watch it from anywhere in the world on any device. You can also catch it on Samsung.com and the Samsung Global Newsroom website. Here's a schedule for the livestream:
- 6 AM Pacific Time (PT).
- 8 AM Central Time (CT).
- 9 AM Eastern Time (ET).
- 1 PM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- 6:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
- 10 PM Korean Standard Time (KST).
If you check YouTube now, you'll only see the scheduled event and comments on the video are turned off. But there's a timer indicating how many more hours to the event. You'll also find the “Notify me” button that you can tap or click to get a reminder when it begins. This way, you don't miss the event and have to deal with multiple spoilers online.
What to expect from Galaxy Unpacked event in a few hours
Previous leaks about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 indicate exciting updates. The Z Fold 6 will be lighter and slimmer than its predecessor, with a higher maximum screen brightness and minor design tweaks. Meanwhile, the Z Flip 6 features a 50MP main camera, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and a larger battery. It also supports Samsung's Interpreter Mode on its cover screen.
Both phones offer IP48 ingress protection, though this doesn't necessarily mean improved dust resistance. They will also debut alongside new Galaxy AI features, following the brand’s commitment to deliver advanced AI capabilities into their devices since the Galaxy S24 series release.
From what we know about upcoming Galaxy Watches, the Watch 7 and Watch Ultra will use the Exynos W1000 processor, double the storage at 32GB, and improvements in design and software. They will appear in 40mm and 44mm sizes with Bluetooth and LTE options. However, the Galaxy Watch Ultra stands out with its squircle case design, larger 47mm size, titanium build, and a decent 590mAh battery. Leaks for the Galaxy Buds 3 and the company's first smart ring have also made their rounds. But they all remain unconfirmed until the main event says otherwise.
There's still time to score discounts
Knowing Samsung, their newest gadgets will rip a hole in your pocket. Thankfully, they've been generous to run special deals for a limited period that should fetch you great discounts. If you reserved a new Galaxy device before the event, you would have received a $50 credit towards your purchase. This credit automatically applies at checkout. Also, reserving a device alone enters you into a sweepstakes where you could win a $5,000 virtual gift card. The winner will be randomly selected around July 15.
These special deals end today, although there may still be time to take advantage. Visit Samsung's official website for reservations. You can still save up to $1,500 when you pre-order a new Galaxy device. The exact amount of savings will depend on the device and any trade-in offers. Preorders should start once Galaxy Unpacked has wrapped.
