TL;DR<\/p>\n
Samsung is expected to launch its new foldables and smartwatches later this month, possibly on July 22.
\nAhead of that date getting here, Samsung could open pre-registrations for the hardware tomorrow.
\nSamsung\u2019s launch event is rumored to take place in London, but the company hasn\u2019t yet made anything official.<\/p>\n
Foldable phones have been around for ages at this point, but don\u2019t be surprised when Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone<\/a> debuts later this year and everybody starts talking about foldables like the second coming. You won\u2019t have to wait for Apple\u2019s launch to get a foldable phone with one of these cool new wide form factors<\/a>, though, with Samsung getting ready to beat Cupertino to the punch with its own Galaxy Z Fold 8. And today we\u2019re getting an update on when you may first be able to call dibs on Samsung\u2019s latest foldable.<\/p>\n They claim that both the company\u2019s new foldables and wearables alike will be available for pre-registration, which may finally confirm all the leaks and rumors we\u2019ve heard about Samsung\u2019s branding choices here. There\u2019s no mention yet about any bonuses attached to these pre-registrations, so this may simply be a matter of reminding yourself of your interest in taking some of this hardware home.<\/p>\n Yadav reiterates what we\u2019ve already heard about Samsung\u2019s launch plans, claiming that we\u2019re looking at a London Galaxy Unpacked event set to take place on July 22. Samsung has yet to make that date official, even as we creep up on it being just two weeks out, and we wouldn\u2019t be at all surprised to see the company start sharing its plans any day now.<\/p>\n Of course, the question about whether one of these new foldables is for you just became a bit more complicated as we only recently started hearing about possible pricing<\/a> \u2014 and it\u2019s not great news. Granted, prices have been spiking all over the place, so none of this is exactly surprising, but we could still be looking at triple-digit price hikes compared to last year\u2019s lineup. Will the fresh new look this year be enough to still tempt shoppers? It sounds like we may start finding out very, very soon.<\/p>\n
