Samsung announces unpack event for Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 2

Samsung is all set to introduce new flagship highly anticipated smartphone the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 at the unpack event on August 5.

As per the memo released by the company, it will host a live digital event at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT at www.samsung.com.

The plan follows similar moves by companies like Apple, which have shifted their events online during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Samsung is expected to unwrap the next generation Note – the Galaxy Note 20 – and second generation of Galaxy Z Fold.

Notable updates to the Fold could include a glass display instead of plastic and a bigger internal screen. Some rumors even suggest it will come with an S Pen stylus, and others say Samsung will introduce a cheaper Fold E or Fold Lite alongside the pricier Fold 2.

Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant is also expected to introduce three models of the new Note, possibly named the Note 20, Note 20 Plus and Note 20 Ultra.

The latter device could have two curved screens, whisper-thin bezels to free up maximum screen space and a slightly thinner body overall compared with the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. All models are likely to come with 5G connectivity.
