RIP Galaxy Note 21? Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 to Launch in August, Unpacked Invite Suggests

The next Samsung Unpacked event will officially take place on August 11, the company confirmed, with a virtual event starting at 10 a.m. EDT / 7 a.m. PDT. Customers can also reserve Samsung's next flagship phone through its Reserve Now site, though the company hasn't specified which phone that is. (Rumors point to the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, though the company may use the word "phone" liberally and refer to the foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, which it has also hinted is coming to the event.) In fact, Samsung hasn't confirmed anything that was supposedly announced at the event, so we have to speculate. Of course, we have months of rumors and leaks to back up our expectations of what could be revealed in the biggest cross-device launch event since the Samsung Galaxy S21 line was unveiled in January.

What could happen to Samsung Unpacked on August 11?

That leaves us wondering what will be revealed at Samsung Unpacked, which promises to be a flagship event for the company's devices. We expect the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 to be the centerpiece of the show, a teaser suggested, though that may not be the case with foldables; there are also rumors of the Samsung Galaxy. 2021 release date, suggesting it could be featured at the event as well. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is also rumored to appear at the event, though reports disagree that we'll also see the more affordable flagship Samsung Galaxy S21 FE launch during Unpacked. Considering Samsung's pre-order rating, we're assuming this will be this phone in the Samsung Galaxy Note 21, given all the rumors about the latter's cancellation.
