Samsung is all set to unveil the next-generation Galaxy devices at the Galaxy Unpacked in South Korea scheduled for July 26, starting at 4:30pm IST.

The new Fold will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which if the rumours are correct, will be running overclocked to maximise performance. Like every generation, refinements to the design are also expected, and the Fold 5 will likely be thinner and lighter than previous models.

Samsung is reportedly developing a new hinge for the phone, which will supposedly have no gaps in between the screens when the phone is closed. Another improvement could be a bigger battery and cameras.

Like Fold 5, Flip 5 may sport a new hinge that allows it close flat when shut, displaying no obvious gaps between the two screens. It would also mean a less obtrusive crease on the Flip's interior display.

Reports suggest the Flip 5 will use a larger cover display at 3.5 inches, compared to the Flip 4's 1.9-inch cover display. The phone may also upgrade to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and will have battery and camera improvements.

Besides the new foldable phones, Samsung may also launch a new Galaxy Tab with multiple variants to choose from. All of them are expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

Users may also see the Galaxy Watch 6, from Samsung's smartwatch line-up, with a curved glass display and longer battery life.
