What to expect from Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022 comes almost exactly 12 months after Unpacked 2021. That event launched the Samsung Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, so it follows that we will see the successors to those coming up at this year's event.
Both Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 phones are expected to have minor – but important – upgrades over their predecessors. The Flip 4 should have a bigger battery and less noticeable screen crease, while it is looking like the Z Fold 4 will have camera upgrades and a different aspect ratio for the screen.
We're also crossing our fingers that the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro wireless earbuds will launch. Rumour has it that Samsung's next true wireless buds could even launch before the Galaxy Unpacked event, but with time running out, it looks like the company is saving them for Unpacked.
Leaked unofficial renders show new buds with a similar design to the current Galaxy Buds Pro, with the main difference being a new purple finish. Meanwhile, the latest specs leak tips the Buds 2 Pro for advanced "Intelligent" noise-cancelling, 10mm drivers and support for 360 Audio.
Elsewhere, Samsung is expected to unveil the fifth generation Galaxy Watch. The new timepiece is tipped to come in a pricy 'Pro' edition, made from titanium and scratch-proof sapphire glass.
The Galaxy Unpacked 2022 is almost upon us, so stay tuned to What Hi-Fi? for all the big announcements.
