Samsung’s own comical attempts to hide its new foldables aside, I think this has been the leakiest Unpacked event I’ve ever covered. We’ve seen both the new Fold 4 and Flip 4in fullnumerous times already, includingthis recent baring of all, as well asthis maximum exposure.

In terms of both new foldable phones, we now also havefullspecs leaked.

Basically put, if Samsung doesn’t reveal a Fold 4, Flip 4 and Watch 5 at this Samsung Unpacked event then it will have been the greatest misinformation campaign from leakers ever, with an entire industry wasting years of its life reporting on products that don’t exist and creating art assets for vapourware products.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 true wireless earbuds

(Image credit: Samsung)

The real mystery remains the rumor of a Galaxy Buds 2 Pro launch

So, while we’ll eat our T3 branded hats if we don’t see a Fold 4, Flip 4 and Watch 5, we’re still a bit more in the dark about the rumored new Galaxy Buds, which haven’t been leaked visually.

From my point of view Samsung’s Galaxy Buds have always been rock solid, those awful Galaxy Buds Live aside, but have consistently being a tier down from the best true wireless buds on the market. So if Samsung can really deliver the Pro-grade tech in the Buds 2 Pro, that will be a step in the right direction.

After all, with thebest true wireless earbudsmarket so competitive now, Samsung will need to hit hard to stay relevant.

Being candid, Samsung is the ONLY foldable phone player in town

Yes, sure, there are other foldable phones on the market, but the thing is that each one is eithermarkedlyworse than Samsung’s offerings or only available in very restrictive markets.

Truth be told, I’ve got really tired over the past few years of rival phone brands throwing huge hype under a new foldable phone of theirs, only for it then to be revealed that it is only available in one region and won’t be getting a wide-spread release. If a phone does not have widespread release then, I’m sorry, it just isn’t a contender.

Samsung’s foldable phones are available to buy pretty much all the way round the world, as well as being technical leaders in the field.

Who remembers the OG Galaxy Z Fold debacle?

I’ve been writing about phones here at T3.com for over 7 years, so I very much remember that Samsung’s foldable phone prowess had the mother of all rocky starts.

Back in 2019 Samsung started to promote its new foldable phone and, after handing it out to the press, it soon became apparent that despite its technological wizardry, ithad some serious defects.

Indeed, despite T3’s going hands on a producing our ownSamsung Galaxy Fold review, these defects led to the phone being effectively canned and unreleased, with it sent back to Samsung’s engineers for fixing.

Wind the clock on six months and the OG Fold was back, andas I wrote at the timeit was largely the same device, but this time with those defects fixed.

The truth is though even this fixed Fold never really got a big release and while the Fold 2 did get a wider release and better sales, it wasfarfrom mainstream. Indeed, it was only withlast year’sSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 3(and almost more importantly, with itsSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 3) that the South Korean maker’s foldable phones really took off.

Now, in 2022, Samsung’s presidentbelieves"the moment for foldable smartphones is here", pointing to potentially even more mainstream adoption.

So, what do we want to see from the Galaxy Z Flip 4?

Regular readers of T3.com will know that I’m abigfan of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 phone. In fact,as I wrote last year, I actually prefer it to the Fold 3.

It’s super stylish and portable, and gives me a huge nostalgia boost for my flip phones of yore. It’s a super compact folding phone with flagship-grade specs. Woof!

That said, though, the Flip 3 is far from a perfect device. Indeed, in ourSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 reviewwe said that the phone had just an “average camera system”, that its “crease could sometimes get in the way” and that it is “quite thick when folded up”.

As such, my wish list for the Z Flip 4 (and I naturally speak for all phone users), is a thinner phone with improved camera system and larger battery. And, the good news is that thelatest leaks indicatewe definitely are getting a larger battery capacity, with a 3,700mAh capacity delivered over the Flip 3’s 3,300mAh.

On the crease thing, I didn’t really have a problem with its visibility on the Fold 3, but accordingto leaksthe crease visibility on both the Fold 4 and Flip 4 is going to be reduced.

2022-08-10T09:53:50.230Z(Image credit: Samsung)My Galaxy Z Fold 4 wish list? Why, thank you for askingAs I’ve written below, I actually prefer the Samsung Galaxy Flip over the Fold series so far, but that’s not to say that a markedly improved Fold 4 couldn’t make me a convert. Indeed, the idea of having a phone and tablet in one device really appeals to me.However, the cost, size and minor deficiencies in the Fold 3’s spec in comparison to non-folding Android flagships have turned me off so far.For example, there is no getting away from the fact that Fold 3 costsa dump truckload of dosh. Right now, almost a year after launch, the Fold 3 is still £1,599 at the official Samsung store, and that is right at the top end of the phone market.Needless to say, I hoping for a Galaxy Z Fold 4 price cut.Secondly, there is also no getting away from the fact that the Fold series has, to date, being a bit of a chunk in the pocket in phone mode. It’s like having two phones glued back to back in your pocket instead of one, so if the Fold 4 can be thinner and lighter, that would be a big improvement.In terms of specs, the Fold 3 absolutely is a flagship phone, delivering a rapid processor, plenty of RAM and storage space, as well as 5G connectivity. However, it’s battery life and camera system is not up to the standards of the best non-folding phones, so a bump in battery capacity and camera quality would be superb. Excitingly, it looks like the Fold 4is coming withan upgraded under-display selfie camera, so that is a start.So, yes, a thinner device with better cameras and a bigger battery please Samsung.

Let’s talk Galaxy Watch 5

So… what’s the skinny on Samsung’s new wearable? Well, technically it istwowearables as we’re expecting a Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

The Galaxy Watch 5 will apparently come in two sizes, a 40mm variant and a 44mm model. The smaller watch is rumored to have a 1.19-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 396x396 pixels and a weight of 28.7 grams. While the 44mm variant will have a larger case and heavier weight, 33.5 grams, but will be equipped with the same 1.19–inch screen.

As for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, this model with have 1.36-inch display with a resolution of 450x450 pixels, a 45mm sizing and a 46.5-gram weight. This version is expected to come with amuch larger battery, too.

Uh oh… Samsung sure ain’t going to like this

Whoops! It looks like US network AT&T has dropped an advert for the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 a little early.

Well, that’s a very big nail in the Galaxy Z Flip 4 being a thing barn.

And to think that Samsung Unpacked hasn’t even happened yet. What is Samsung going to think of this? Has AT&T just pooped all over an embargo?

I expect a strongly worded letter from the South Korean maker could soon land in AT&T’s mailbox.

Oops, @ATT you kinda blew the embargo with this @SamsungMobile #Flip4 ad on @TikTok… pic.twitter.com/DXz8y8y1knAugust 10, 2022

Woah! And now we’ve got full details of the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, along with what looks like an official marketing image

Notebookcheck.net seem to know something nobody else does, as the publication appears to have just blown Samsung’s big official Galaxy Watch 5 reveal.

That’s because Notebookcheck.net has just publishedthis piece, which not only reveals what it says arefulldetails about the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, but also use what looks like a very official press image.

What’s more, the piece is written as if the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Prohave already been announced, which is very odd considering Samsung Unpacked hasn’t even started yet!

Is Samsung going to be writing them another sternly worded letter? Who knows at this point.

However, for us mere mortals still waiting for Samsung’s official unveiling of the products, it’s great news, as we now know exactly what we’re getting.

According to thevery well informedpublication, the Watch 5 wearables are coming with improved sensors, bigger battery capacities and tough new sapphire crystal glass display covers.

Ok, Samsung Unpacked 2022 starts with a,cough, amusing sketch for the Samsung Galaxy Experience.

“We need to think outside of the box! We need to reimagine the mobile experience” is spoken. And then I check out.

The creatives have a tasty lunch outside a bistro in Paris, where “respect the baguette” seems an important phrase.

What is going on?

The greater than symbol is decided upon, based on the orientation of the Galaxy Flip. Sigh.

The style of the Buds 2 Pro is very rounded, which I like. In the ear they look like smooth eggs. They feature a new design that is more comfortable.

Buds 2 Pro can pair easily with all Samsung devices, including Samsung TVs, and the Buds 2 Pro can seamlessly switch between two devices, if you’re splitting audio sources.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is up next

The Watch 5 comes in a long thin box. Great, I guess.

You can personalise your Watch 5 face and it comes in two sizes and four colors.

The Watch 5 is coated with a sapphire screen, and has an advanced workout algorithm.

It’s also got sleep tracking technology, including detecting blood oxygen levels and heart rate, as well as snoring.

An increased base surface area means more accurate body readings.

“The Galaxy Watch 5 is all about you.”

And now we’re hearing about a new temperature sensor in the Watch 5. Kim returns to explain.

Infrared temperature sensor is the magic new tech. It’s about delivering more accurate readings, but Samsung doesn’t exactly explain what it does.

TM Roh returns to talk about “innovation with compromise”, and then the Z Fold 4 is unveiled

“Foldables for the mainstream” is a phrase used, which is music to my ears.

Are we about to get the Z Fold 4 announcement?

Yes, yes we are!

The Z Fold 4 drops in behind Roh, which is “the greatest foldable phone the world has ever seen” according to Roh.

A flash video shows the phone off from every angle, including it broken down in a teardown. We get a feely goody story about Samsung engineers pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Then get details on the updates this year.

Hinge first. Gears were used in past versions of the Fold, but gears are now gone, with a new rotational system. This means the hinge is slimmer and the phone is slimmer and lighter, too.

It’s the slimmest and lightest fold yet.

Now it’s onto the display.

It’s made up of multiple layers.

To make the Fold 4 lighter the display has been redesigned, and a metal layer has been removed. Samsung has then strengthened the other layers to maintain stability. Sponges are used, too! The material of the sponges has been improved too.

Wow, improved sponges!

Seriously, though, a thinner and lighter Fold 4 is music to my ears. Those two things were on my wish list.

There’s thinner bezels, too, and an improved under display selfie camera as well. We’d reported on that previously, so it’s good to see it happen.

Multi-tasking is big focus. Z Fold 4 comes in here, apparently.

Taskbar is new and designed for multitasking. You can pin most used apps to the taskbar.

Microsoft’s productivity suite is designed for Fold 4. Everything can be done without a PC, apparently, when you own a Fold 4.

Shortcuts can also be added to the taskbar.

Using an S-Pen digital stylus, you can draw and write directly in email on Fold 4, and in Samsung Notes.

Microsoft Teams handsfree on the Fold 4 is also show.

Now onto cameras

50MP wide-angle lens is the main snapper. Better night time pictures are 23 per cent brighter, too.

Zoom has been improved, too.

The cover screen is mentioned again in relation to seeing your pictures instantly.

Oh, no TikTok has been optimised for the Fold 4. Well, I guess the kids will like that.

“The Fold 4 gives us the freedom to socialise as we want”, says Camille.
