Samsung continues to drop Unpacked hints

A close-cropped view of the Galaxy Unpacked cube logo can be seen in the animation, and the angles shown call to mind images of a foldable phone. Curiously, the preview also includes some shadow figures that appear within the moving imagery. One seems to relate to the manufacturer’s Galaxy AI features, while a silhouette of the Eiffel Tower may point to the event being held in Paris.

In addition to the usual summer Unpacked lineup of foldables and smartwatches, we’re expecting the Galaxy Ring to make its official debut at the July 10 event after Samsung showed off the wearable at MWC. Previously revealed details stemming from the company’s legal filing in a case involving Oura – maker of the Oura Ring – indicated that it wants to start selling the wearable around August. According to past leaks, including censored images of the products on deck, it seems like the ring may be announced – but Samsung has not confirmed or denied rumors.

One new product that the company has made official is the Galaxy Watch FE, announced this week. Samsung’s newest smartwatch is geared toward being a viable alternative to its flagship Watch 6 series, mirroring its design and cutting a few corners in the specs department. With this announcement coming less than a month before the July 10 Unpacked event, it appears Samsung wanted to give its budget-minded watch some time in the limelight before the Galaxy Watch 7 steals the show.
