When and How to Watch Samsung’s Upcoming Foldable-Centric Samsung Unpacked

The next Samsung Unpacked event comes alive July 26 at 7am ET/10am PT, with the company hosting a live event at its headquarters in Seoul, South Korea. At the same time, Unpacked was to be live streamed on the company’s website Youtube channel.

The phone might even keep the same 6.2-inch size, which if true could be disappointing for anyone hoping for a slightly smaller device.
