The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 might just be closer than we think. While Samsung has yet to confirm any official details about their next Unpacked event, several clues seem to be pointing towards an early July launch. Along with the new foldable phones, the Galaxy Watch 8 series is expected to make an appearance. 
Samsung’s silence on the matter only adds to the intrigue, but for those paying close attention, there are some compelling hints.
Rumors suggest the event might be held in New York City, and it’s not just speculation. Samsung has recently announced a series of events in the city for runners and Galaxy wearable enthusiasts. These events, scheduled to start on July 13, align perfectly with the rumored Unpacked timeline. Samsung has partnered with two prominent New York City run clubs-Almost Friday Run Club and Midnight Runners New York-promising sponsored runs throughout the month of July. The goal is to showcase how Galaxy wearables, including the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8, can help runners boost their performance.
This seems like a clever strategy to promote the Galaxy Watch 8 series, especially with Samsung’s focus on health and wellness. The company plans to highlight key features like rest and recovery for runners, offering interactive rest stations at the events, alongside tips and guidance. One of the tools they’ll emphasize is the Energy Score feature in Samsung Health, which tracks sleep data to help runners optimize their recovery.
The first sponsored run, set for July 13, will take place at the NYCRuns Queens Ice Cream Social 5K, and it’s open to the public. Anyone interested can register for the event through the NYCRuns website. Although these events don’t specifically mention the Unpacked event, the timing and location strongly suggest that Samsung might be gearing up for their big announcement in New York City next month.
As we get closer to July, more details will likely surface. Samsung’s ability to keep things under wraps is impressive, but with leaks expected to ramp up soon, we might not have to wait much longer for the exact date. Stay tuned!
