Samsung Unpacked 2024 is set to commence on Wednesday at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET. The event is taking place in Paris this year, starting at 1 p.m. CET to accommodate the local time zone. Coincidentally, Paris will also host the Summer Olympics shortly after, an event where Samsung holds a significant sponsorship.
The spotlight for the Samsung event is expected to be on foldable devices, following the company’s consistent six-month flagship release cycle over the years. With the retirement of the Note series in 2022, new Galaxy S devices are typically launched in January and February, while Galaxy Z Folds and Galaxy Z Flips are introduced in the summer. The event this year is anticipated to be particularly eventful, with potential announcements about Galaxy AI and accessories like Galaxy Buds.
