Samsung fans, it’s time to start getting excited. Why? Because we finally have the official date for Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event. If you’ve been following Samsung rumors over the last few weeks, it won’t come as any surprise at all.

Samsung has confirmed that this summer’s Galaxy Unpacked is happening on Wednesday, July 10, in Paris. This is a bit earlier in the year than Samsung typically holds its summer Unpacked (last year’s happened on July 26). Describing this year’s Paris setting, Samsung says it is “where historic and iconic culture meet to inspire all those who visit, creating the ultimate backdrop for the rollout of Samsung’s latest innovations.”

Unpacked officially kicks off at 9 a.m. ET /6 a.m. PT on July 10 — or 3 p.m. Paris time. If you aren’t attending in person, Samsung will be live-streaming the event on its website and YouTube channel for everyone to see. The event teaser hints at a folding phone with Samsung’s Galaxy AI logo, giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect.

As the rumors have suggested for months, we’re expecting a lot from next month’s Unpacked. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will likely be the two smartphone announcements. There have been murmurs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, but it’s unclear if that’s still happening. We’ll also likely see the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and the Galaxy Ring. It’s possible Samsung will introduce a new series of Galaxy S10 tablets, but that one is more uncertain.

The Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are expected to be minor upgrades over their predecessors, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The Galaxy Watch 7 also appears to be a tame release. The Galaxy Watch Ultra should be a lot more interesting, as it’ll be the first Galaxy Watch with the Ultra moniker. And, of course, a full release for Samsung’s first smart ring is worth looking forward to.

In typical Samsung fashion, today’s Unpacked announcement is accompanied by a new Reserve offer. Starting today, June 25, at 7 p.m. ET and going through July 10, you can reserve one of the upcoming Galaxy devices to receive an instant $50 discount and an offer to save up to $1,500 when you place your preorder next month. Samsung’s Reserve program simply requires you to enter your email address with no money down, so if you’re even slightly interested in what’s coming from Unpacked next month, you might as well take advantage of it.

We’ll have a lot more coverage about Unpacked soon, so stay tuned.

Your Galaxy Watch is losing a health feature, and the replacement needs another gadget
Samsung is killing Vascular Load on Galaxy Watches
Blood pressure on Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watches have been leaning harder into health features with every generation. Sleep scores, heart metrics, blood pressure, and much more are all big selling points. Samsung is removing the standalone Vascular Load feature for Galaxy Watch users in the United States.

According to a Samsung Health notice spotted by users on Reddit (via SammyGuru), the feature will no longer be available starting in late July with Samsung Health 7.0 and the One UI Watch 9 update. Samsung’s notice reportedly says existing Vascular Load records will also disappear from Samsung Health once the feature is removed. Users who want to keep that history need to export their personal data in advance through Samsung Health settings.

The OPPO Watch X3 has a ridiculous feature I cannot stop using
My smartwatch let me doomscroll from my wrist
Oppo Watch X3 Media Controls

While smartwatches were built to make us more health-conscious and have us reach for our phones less often. I always believed that a second (smaller) screen on your wrist basically can be just as distracting as your smartphone, and the Oppo Watch X3 decided to stop pretending by doubling down on this.

The Oppo Watch X3 comes with a dedicated remote control feature that lets me control my phone from my wrist, and I am having way too much fun messing around with it. This sounds ridiculous, but it has also been surprisingly handy.

Samsung Galaxy Glasses leak

While Samsung already has a bunch of wearables, its upcoming smart glasses might tighten the experience even further. A new leak from SammyGuru offers an early look at the Galaxy Glasses Manager app, the companion app Samsung is expected to use for its new smart glasses.

The leak does not reveal final pricing, battery life, launch date, or every hardware spec. Unlike your typical leak that just hints at a device, the companion app actually makes it sound more real.
