-
Galaxy Unpacked


Samsung is gearing up for the second part of its highly-anticipated bi-annual Unpacked event, scheduled for July 27th at 7AM ET. The first part of this event took place back in February when Samsung unveiled its impressive S23 lineup alongside the Galaxy Book series, including the flagship Galaxy Book3 Ultra. However, the absence of the Galaxy Tab S9 series left fans eager for more.

The upcoming event has been teased with the tagline "Join the Flip Side" in Samsung's marketing material, heavily hinting at the launch of the next generation of foldables, which includes the Galaxy Flip5 and Galaxy Fold5. 

 

How to Watch the Event?

The Galaxy Unpacked event will be live-streamed on Samsung's official website, as well as their YouTube account. For your convenience, we have included a direct link to the live stream in this post, so you can easily tune in and catch all the action. Here is the timings for various regions:

  • 7:00 AM Eastern Time (ET)
  • 4:00 AM Pacific Time (PT)
  • 12:00 PM British Summer Time (BST)
  • 8:00 PM Korea Standard Time (KST)

 



What to Expect?

Join the flip side

With the tagline "Join the Flip Side," it's clear that the major announcements at the event will revolve around the next generation of the foldable including the Flip and Fold series . Here are some details about the possible announcements:

Galaxy Z Flip5 

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is rumored to come with several upgrades, boasting a larger 3.4-inch cover display with a 720 x 748 resolution. Leaked images of the device seem to confirm the size of the outer display, which now stretches from the phone’s camera to its hinge. This is a significant improvement from the Z Flip 4's 1.9-inch 260 x 512 outer display. When unfolded, the display is likely to retain the same 6.7-inch size we saw in the Z Flip 4, but it might fold even flatter thanks to the new water-drop style hinge Samsung has been working on.

Galaxy Z Fold5

The Z Fold 5 is also expected to feature a water-drop hinge, which should reduce the appearance of a crease when unfolded. It may also have a slimmer design compared to the Z Fold 4. Reports suggest that the Fold 5 could come with a 12MP telephoto lens, an upgrade from the 10MP lens found in the Fold 4. Apart from these changes, the device is expected to maintain its 7.6-inch inner display and 6.2-inch outer display.

Galaxy Tab S9 Series

In addition to the foldables, there is a possibility of the launch of the next generation of Tab S series. Similar to the Tab S8 lineup, the Tab S9 series is expected to include three models: Galaxy Tab S9, S9 Plus, and S9 Ultra. The highlight of the lineup is a better base Galaxy Tab S9 model, bringing back the much-appreciated OLED screen that was missing in the Galaxy Tab S8. All three tablets are rumored to be equipped with an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and carry an IP67 rating for water resistance.

Galaxy Watch6 Series

Finally, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 6 series, with the star of the show being the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, reintroducing the beloved rotating bezel that Samsung unexpectedly removed from the Watch5 Classic.

 

Galaxy Experience Spaces

Samsung has also announced it would setup Galaxy Experience Spaces after the unpacked event in select markets where:

Fans can visit the fun and colorful open market-themed spaces to get hands-on with the latest devices, see the potential of Galaxy’s connected ecosystem and participate in interactive exhibits

Meet Microsoft Graveyard - A Monument of Products Killed By Microsoft

Much to my envy, a site I had long hoped to set up was established this week. I often wondered why there was no "Killed by Microsoft" counterpart to Google's "Killed by Google," and the wait is finally over. Launched by Victor Frye, the Microsoft Graveyard is an open-source compilation showcasing discontinued Microsoft-made software and hardware. It's worth noting that the site has no affiliations with Microsoft itself. According to the developer, the website is a "passion project" born out of a fondness for many of these products that met an untimely end. Among them are some of the recent casualties including WordPad , Visual Studio for Mac , Cortana , Windows Phone alongside some late distant memories like ASP.Net Web Matrix, Microsoft Bob, Windows Vista and Zune. The Microsoft Graveyard encourages contributions as it's an open-source project hosted on GitHub . You are welcome to add missing items, correct typos, suggest improveme

Microsoft is on a chopping spree of late. After chopping off Cortana and Visual Studio for Mac, the latest victim of this trend is WordPad - a program that was part of Windows since Windows 95! In a Blog Post on the official site, the company outlines features that will be deprecated from the future versions of Windows and this time around, WordPad made it to the list.

The regulators have imposed some conditions.  In a nutshell, the regulators found: Microsoft would have no incentive blocking Activision's games from Sony's PS Consoles In a scenario where Microsoft did withdraw Activision's games from PlayStation Console, it would not harm Sony in a significant way Regulators also put certain conditions for the merger to be approved: 10-year commitment for CoD to be on PlayStation Gamers in EU would get a free license for all current and future Activision's Games for the Cloud-Streaming Service of their choice provided they already own the license of those games.
