New Samsung Galaxy Z Fold smartphone

The next Galaxy Z Fold, expected to be called Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, is expected to be an upgrade over the fourth-gen foldable from last year.

As per leaks the new Galaxy Z Fold device is expected to be the first in the series to fold completely flat. Previous iterations of the device have been notorious for having a small gap when folded, which is a design choice many users do not approve of. Apart from these changes, the phone is also expected to pack updated specifications including a more powerful chipset.

New Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphone

The next Flip phone, expected to be called Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, is also expected to come with a new design. As per leaks, this new device could include a larger cover display on the outside, bringing the Samsung Flip phone on par with some of the other recent launches, including the Oppo Find N2 and the new Moto Razr 40.

Apart from this, the upcoming smartphone is also expected to have two outer cameras and a new hinge mechanism that will allow the phone to fold flat without any gap between the two halves.

New Samsung Galaxy Watch

Samsung is also expected to unveil more than one smart watch at the July event. These are likely to be called the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Rumours suggest that the Classic model could feature a rotating bezel, while the vanilla model won’t. Both smart watches are expected to sport slimmer bezels and new strap designs.

New Samsung Galaxy Tab

Further announcements expected include new tablets. These are likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. While information is scarce, rumours point at the tablets being powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. If this holds true, these will become Samsung’s most powerful tablets yet.
