The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra are expected to steal the show, but Samsung will also reportedly announce the Galaxy Z Fold 2 foldable phone We can also expect to see the Galaxy Watch 3 and the Galaxy Buds Live (aka Bean) wireless earbuds Last but not least, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 tablet will do its best to overtake the iPad Pro
Everyone's favorite Android phablet will return in two models, the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will get the most attention with a huge 69-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 108MP camera with 50x zoom, and an S Pen that is rumored to offer a very fast response time of 9ms
The regular Galaxy Note 20 is not to be outdone, as it should also feature the same fast Snapdragon 865 processor, an upgraded triple camera setup, and a larger battery In addition, both Galaxy Note 20 models are rumored to offer 5G and support Xbox Game Pass, which allows users to stream Xbox games via the cloud In fact, it has just been discovered that Xbox Game Pass may be free for three months with purchase
Of the two devices, however, the Note 20 Ultra seems most likely to make our best phones list [The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has a larger outer display, more durable Ultra Thin Glass, and a smaller hinge gap It can also expect a faster Snapdragon 865 Plus processor and a larger 77-inch internal screen with punch holes instead of a big ugly notch
A large number of detailed images of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 were leaked ahead of its launch
Just before the Unpacked event, Samsung announced the release of another foldable device, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G This is a 5G version of the flip phone Samsung released earlier this year This $1,449 phone will be available on August 7, and Samsung may mention the Galaxy Z Flip 5G in Unpacked
According to leaked information, Samsung is going back to the popular physical rotating bezel on the Galaxy Watch 3 And there are plenty of other upgrades on the horizon: it will reportedly come in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, with larger displays of 13" and 15", respectively
The Galaxy Watch 3 should also offer an ECG sensor and a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor capable of monitoring blood oxygen The Watch 3 is also rumored to be able to read blood pressure Other reports suggest that it will be able to provide post-run coaching and analysis, better sleep and stress monitoring All of this together could make it one of the best smartwatches out there
Samsung's bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live is about to give the AirPods Pro a run for its money One of the best wireless earbuds available, the Galaxy Buds Live should offer active noise cancellation at a very attractive price In fact, according to one leak, Samsung will release the Buds for just $169, which is well below the AirPods Pro's retail price of $249 (sale price $234)
The Galaxy Buds should fit snugly and comfortably in the ear thanks to the included wingtips, and will be available in white, black, and copper
While we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of an Android tablet that will truly challenge the iPad Pro, the Galaxy Tab S7 looks to be a formidable opponent the Galaxy Tab S7 will offer an 11-inch OLED display, and the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus will be 124 inches up to 124 inches
We can also expect a powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, a new S Pen feature, and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate on at least one model And unlike the iPad Pro, both the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 Plus should offer 5G connectivity We'd love to see a better keyboard/touchpad combo this time around, but that will have to wait
