Samsung reveals all the devices launching in August

Just as we expected

Published

on

Last week, Samsung confirmed the number of devices launching on August 5’s Galaxy Unpacked event. Though the company tried to shroud it in mystery, the upcoming roster isn’t really a mystery, thanks to previous rumors and leaks. Now, they have done away with the mystery altogether. In a new trailer, Samsung reveals all the devices launching in August.

In the trailer, Samsung included a silhouette of the unannounced devices. As already confirmed, there are five devices. Based on the image, it’s easy to assume what they are.

The rightmost device is, of course, the Galaxy Note 20 series. Of the four devices, Samsung has already all but confirmed the series. Every promotional material for next week’s event has visuals of the renowned S Pen. Likewise, we already have almost every single detail about the upcoming series. Without a doubt, the Galaxy Note 20 series is the main event of the launch.

The next device (the one in the middle) is also easy to decipher. Unless it’s portraying two smartphones cleverly laid out side by side, this is the Galaxy Fold 2, a sequel to last year’s first foray in the foldable segment.

Based on their profile, the remaining three devices are the Galaxy Watch 3, the Galaxy Buds Live, and the Galaxy Tab S7 series. All three devices have also made strange appearances sometime recently in the rumor mill.

Other than the silhouette, the trailer doesn’t reveal much more about the upcoming event. For a single launch event, five devices is quite the lineup, especially since previous reports hinted at a three-month launch window between August and October. That said, August’s Galaxy Unpacked event is only around a week away. We won’t have to wait long before we see all five devices finally out in the open.
