Unpacked 2023: Here’s the new hardware Samsung is expected to announce

On Wednesday, Samsung is anticipated to hold its significant Unpacked event in Seoul to introduce new hardware goods, including the hotly anticipated Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable phone. The occasion occurs months before the Apple iPhone's September release.

Samsung may potentially reveal a new line of tablets and smartwatches given the high expectations for improvements to its foldable smartphone line.

Here is all the information you require for the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023.

Galaxy Z Flip 5 from Samsung

There will be a Galaxy Z Flip 5 and it will undoubtedly be a vast improvement over the previous model. According to recent hints from the South Korean giant, the Flip 5 will have a larger cover display than its predecessor and be both lighter and thinner than the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra.

Additionally, it is said that the Flip 5's innovative drop-shaped hinge technology, which is also seen on the Oppo Find N2 Flip, will ensure that there will be no space between the two halves of the device when it is folded. The tablet will likely maintain its IPX8 water resistant rating from the previous iteration while losing its dust resistance.

Standard hardware changes for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 are believed to include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, faster LPDDR5x type RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. The smartphone is also anticipated to have a new and improved primary foldable display with improved durability. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will probably cost a little more than the current Z Flip 4, which was released with a base model with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage for Rs 89,999.

The larger and more expensive Z Fold 5 won't likely undergo a dramatic design makeover, unlike the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but it will be slimmer and lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will reportedly also have a redesigned drop-shaped hinge, which is believed to lessen the crease when unfurled and reduce the screen gap.

According to a report from ET News, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will maintain stylus support, but users will still need to carry it separately, possibly with the aid of a case with a stylus indentation. This will help the brand promote the Galaxy Z Fold 5 as a device that is focused on productivity.

Based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will likely include at least 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. The camera system would reportedly have a triple camera arrangement with a 50 MP primary shooter and a 12 MP selfie camera, a modest upgrade from the 10 MP lens on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, according to a report by The Elec.

Galaxy Tab S9 series from Samsung

There are several models in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series, with the Tab S9 Ultra serving as the flagship model. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra will include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, making it the most potent Android tablet ever, according to renowned leaker Evleaks. Additionally, the device is believed to include 512 GB of internal storage and up to 12 GB of RAM. Similar to its predecessor, it will feature a huge 14.6-inch AMOLED display.

The tablet will purportedly operate on Android 13 with the OneUI 5.1 layer on top and be powered by an 11,200 mAh battery. A dual camera system with a 13 MP wide-angle lens and an 8 MP ultra-wide angle lens is also available on the tablet. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra's metal unibody finish will probably make it look comparable to the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in terms of appearance and aesthetics.

Series 6 of the Samsung Galaxy Watch

The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event will also feature the Galaxy Watch 6 series. The Galaxy Watch 6 will come in two sizes, with the smaller 40mm model sporting a 1.3-inch circular display and the larger 44mm model sporting a massive 1.47-inch OLED screen, according to a post by SnoopyTech. In a similar vein, it is said that the Galaxy Watch 6 classic will also come in two sizes, 43mm and 47mm, respectively.

Both variations are rumoured to have sapphire crystal glass for increased durability and a new Exynos W930 CPU, a powerful and power-efficient chip designed specifically for wearables. The report further emphasises that the Galaxy Watch 6 will have 16 GB of internal storage and 2 GB of RAM. Finally, a slightly larger battery might help these smartwatches live longer.

Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Buds 3 from Samsung

At Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung could reveal its first smart ring. Without a display, a smart ring should be able to perform all of the functions of a fitness tracker. A South Korean publication called The Elec makes a suggestion that the Galaxy Ring will use circuit boards made by Meiko in Japan.
