Samsung Galaxy S 48 Launch is in a matter of weeks, and we’re eager to see everything that might be unveiled at this year Unpacked event. The tech giant often takes the opportunity to debut more than just phones, and some much-anticipated gadgets could see the light of day. (Case in point: at the Samsung Galaxy S launch back in February , the phonemaker introduced the AirPods-like Samsung Galaxy Buds . Now that Apple’s released its AirPods Pro , we expect Samsung to fire back by debuting the much-rumored Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus.
We’re also curious if we’ll see the (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G, a version of the company’s pro tablet that could connect to the next-gen networks – something that would put Samsung ahead of Apple in the tablet game.

- (The (Samsung Galaxy S) along with the likely larger Samsung Galaxy S (Plus) will take center stage at Unpacked. We’re expecting a few innovations from the new flagships, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about these phones. First and foremost: will they all be 5G-capable?
Most of what we’ve heard about the phones has involved incremental improvements: thinner bezels, centerline selfie camera, larger 6.2-inch (S 49) and 6.7-inch (S) (Plus) displays – but a few, like a souped-up (MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom and Hz max screen refresh rate, have us excited. However it seems like Samsung is saving the most substantial improvements for the biggest, baddest model …

This is more like it. The largest, highest-specced version of the S (line is rumored to be called the Samsung Galaxy S) Ultra. It might be called the S Ultra 5G, which makes it an even more clear inheritor of the massive (Samsung Galaxy S) (5G) that launched in mid – ; this time, we’re expecting the top-top-tier phone to arrive at the same time as its smaller siblings.
The Ultra is rumored to pack a max-sized 6.9-inch display and seriously souped-up cameras: a (MP main shooter, a) (MP telephoto with 5x zoom, and a) MP front-facing camera. (All S 
Phones are rumored to pack the same (MP ultrawide lens, while the S) (Plus and S) Ultra both come with time of flight sensors.) Put simply, the S (Ultra is poised to be the highest-tech phone out there, with a rumored x digital zoom packaged as’ Space Zoom. ‘

Curiously absent in the S (lineup is a follow-up to the S 27 e budget flagship. It’s entirely possible that Samsung is following Apple in making its prime-named phone (the standard Galaxy S 40) the cheapest option. Or Samsung could be slotting its recently-announced (Samsung Galaxy S) Lite and
We’ve already seen and played with these phones at (CES) , but we could finally learn when they’ll be sold and how much they’ll cost. While their specs are technically a year behind the new S line, that should work in their favor when it comes to affordability, and they’ll likely cost less than the S 27 e did at launch – making both these handsets strong contenders for the best mid rangers out there.
There’s another possibility, of course: both the S Lite and Note Lite were specifically created to appeal to different markets than those that embrace Samsung’s priciest flagships. If that’s the case, we may not hear about the S (Lite and Note) (Lite at all.)
suggests they could last up to 48 hours. (Image credit: Future) (Samsung Galaxy Watch 2) The original Samsung Galaxy Watch was a powerhouse with a neat rotating bezel that made navigating the smartwatch easier – and a more fun, tactile experience. While the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 introduced a digital haptic version of this feature, it’s not the same and we’re eager for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 . We haven’t heard much at all about the Galaxy. Watch 2, which itself suggests we probably won’t see this smartwatch at Unpacked
. But we can still dream. (Image credit: Future) (New fitness tracker?) It’s entirely possible we get a successor to the (Samsung Galaxy Fit) , or perhaps even another budget fitness tracker like the (Samsung Galaxy Fit e) . We haven’t heard any news or rumors, so there’s no real hype building around a new device from Samsung. But if we don’t get another smartwatch this year, it might make sense for the company to whet appetites with a refreshed fitness tracker.
would beat Apple to the punch, which hasn’t released a 5G-capable iPad yet. It would also be rather useful for on-the-go professionals that need to upload and download files rapidly, like media editors. Of course, 5G networks are still in early days – and a Tab S6 5G would need to be keyed to each provider’s 5G network. We’ll see how Samsung handles this if it does release a 5G tablet.
(Samsung Galaxy Z Flip) Ah, the enigmatic Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It’s unclear if this is simply a code name for the Galaxy Fold 2 or a forked device in its own right that, (rumor) has it, will be a clamshell-style foldable that hinges on its horizontal access, somewhat similar to the Motorola Razr .

For all the vertical-fold diehards, we’ve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Fo ld 2 will follow its predecessor’s footsteps as a ‘hot dog style’ foldable – but bigger and better. Specifically, leaks have told us it could have bigger battery, faster charging speeds, better cameras, and other incremental improvements. While Unpacked seems soon after the original Fold’s delayed launch in late , it could be a jumping off point to leave behind the baggage and start anew with a (much more tested) successor device.

There’s long been rumors of a Bixby-supporting smart speaker in the works at Sa msung – or, as it might be known, the (Samsung Galaxy Home) . Whether this ends up surfacing is unclear, but the appeal is obvious: a smart speaker housing the unpopular but ubiquitous-on-Samsung-devices AI assistant Bixby to compete with all the Amazon Echo and Alexa-powered speakers in the world. We haven’t heard rumors of one coming – but anything’s possible at Unpacked . (Read More )
