Samsung is back with another Unpacked event, and this time, it's happening in Brooklyn, New York. On July 9, the tech giant is expected to unveil its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold. The event will be live-streamed on Samsung’s YouTube channel and website, making it accessible to fans worldwide.

The teaser for the event is intriguing. Samsung hints at AI-driven features that will make their devices more proactive. This suggests that the new foldables might come with advanced AI capabilities, similar to what Apple promised with Siri but hasn't delivered yet. The teaser video also shows super-slim halves coming apart, hinting at thinner designs for the new models.

Rumors and leaks have been swirling about the new foldables. The phrase "Ultra Unfolds" from the teaser video suggests that Samsung might be introducing Ultra versions of the Z Flip and Z Fold. This could mean top-notch features like the best screens, hinges, cameras, performance, and battery life. Samsung has been listening to user demands for bigger screens, better cameras, and new ways to connect and create.

Leaked images and CAD files indicate that the new Z Flip and Z Fold could be significantly thinner than their predecessors. The Z Flip might feature an edge-to-edge cover screen, allowing apps to run without opening the phone. The Z Fold could be as thin as 9mm when closed and 4. 54mm when unfolded, making it as slim as regular non-folding phones when closed.

Samsung's move to skip the usual numbering for the Z Flip and Z Fold suggests they might be introducing even more premium models. Whether it's the Ultra versions or entirely new models, the upcoming Unpacked event is sure to reveal more details. Stay tuned to see what Samsung has in store!
