Samsung traditionally conducts two Galaxy Unpacked events every year. The first one happens in January or February and it is dedicated to the company’s flagship Galaxy S-series smartphones. The second event that happens in August focuses on the Galaxy Z foldables, the Galaxy Watch series, and the flagship Galaxy Tab S-lineup. Now a new report tips the timeline of the South Korean brand’s next Unpacked event this year.
Next Galaxy Unpacked timeline tipped
SamMobile reports that the next Galaxy Unpacked event will happen in early July 2024. Last year, the event was held in the last week of the same month. The publication notes that this year it could take place in the second week of July. The date for this year’s second event could potentially be July 1 since Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked events usually happen on Wednesday.
If the report indeed turns out to be true, it could be the second time Samsung will move up the launch of this year’s Unpacked event. Additionally, the South Korean brand is also the main sponsor of the Olympics 2024 which will commence on July 26. The multi-sport athletics event will happen in Paris, France. Hence, there’s a possibility that Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event could also be held there. The publication says that the company could gift the upcoming Galaxy Ring and a Galaxy smartphone to all the participating athletes.
The next Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to see the arrival of the Galaxy Ring, sixth-generation Galaxy Z foldables, Galaxy Watch Series 7, Galaxy Tab S10 lineup, and Galaxy Buds 3.

Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy F15 5G in India on March 4 at 12 PM. The brand recently teased the massive battery size of the upcoming smartphone, and now, it has teased its starting price as well.
The teaser has partially revealed the pricing details of the Galaxy F15, which suggests that the base model of the device could start at around Rs 11,999. The device is said to have two configurations: 4GB+128GB and 6GB+128GB.
Tipster Abhishek Yadav has also chimed in, suggesting that the F15 5G will have a price tag of Rs 13,499 for the 4GB+128GB model and Rs 14,999 for the 6GB+128GB model. Yadav also mentioned a potential Rs 1,500 discount through bank offers, which could effectively bring the starting price down to the teased sub-Rs 12,000 range. The tased pricing is likely inclusive of bank offers, which is the current trend in the Indian smartphone market.
The leak also mentions the Samsung Galaxy M14, another upcoming release, which is expected to launch in 4GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB versions, with prices at Rs 9,499 and Rs 12,499, respectively. While Samsung has not officially confirmed the launch date for the Galaxy M14 in India, the support page for this device has already appeared on Samsung’s website.

The highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro finally went on sale earlier this month. But just a month into its release, the latest wearable product from the brand is facing a sharp decline in its demand in the US market.
Apple Vision Pro demand slows
Just a week after its release, the Vision Pro users started returning their units. Many complained about different aspects of the device, which include motion sickness, discomfort in use, and more. But the bad news doesn’t end there, as known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that shipments of the headset have fallen significantly. The Medium report states that the shipping time for the Vision Pro has improved to 3 to 5 days.
The initial release had the headset being sold out due to early adopted and active buyers. But, the demand dropped rapidly soon after. Kuo claims that unless the Cupertino based giant drops the price of the Vision Pro or brings more practical applications, shipments likely won’t grow in the US market. On the other hand, the improving supply of the headset would help Apple get ready for the global release of the Vision Pro.
The analyst believes that Apple will release a more affordable version of the headset but with lower specs as well as a new model with upgraded specs. However, Ming-Chi Kuo added that the brand has yet to officially launch these two projects. Early buyers are already second guessing their $3,500 purchase, so it remains to be seen how Apple makes the Vision Pro more attractive for the US and overseas markets.
The popular Indian audio and wearables brand boAt has just introduced Stone Spinix Pro Bluetooth speaker, scheduled for launch on March 8th. The speaker features a cylindrical design, with an LED light strip.

This exciting new product will be available for purchase at a special introductory price of Rs.2,999 ($36) on Amazon. A dedicated page for the boAt Stone Spinix Pro is already live on the platform, allowing potential buyers to explore its features ahead of the launch.
Itel is preparing to launch a new smart wearable product in the Indian market. The company is set to unveil the new Itel Icon 2 smartwatch in the region soon, which was teased via an e-commerce microsite going live.
Itel Icon 2
The smartphone maker’s upcoming Icon 2 was spotted on Amazon India. It was listed as coming soon and appears to be the direct successor to the original Itel Icon smartwatch, which launched back in October 2023. The design of this model was also teased in the Amazon microsite, showing a square shaped display over the crucial screen of its predecessor.
Furthermore, the device will come with a bigger display, black straps, and a functional crown on the side, as per the Amazon listing. To recall, the Itel Icon sported a 1.38-inch IPS LCD panel, offered Bluetooth Calling, and a 12 day standby battery life. So we can expect the next gen model to also support Bluetooth Calling with a bigger screen and maybe a similar battery life.
The Itel Icon also came with Bluetooth 5.3, over 100 watch faces, a 250mAh battery pack, and various health and fitness related trackers. Other notable features include music and camera controls, an integrated voice assistant, and IP68 water and dust resistance.

Qualcomm has confirmed plans to launch its next-generation flagship system-on-a-chip (SoC), the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, at the Snapdragon Summit this October.
Don McGuire, Qualcomm’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), revealed the news during the Mobile World Congress via an X/Twitter post, mentioning that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will feature the company’s custom Oryon CPU. He also hinted that the chip will see improved NPU performance “as an evolution of their NPU story.”
Although the video doesn’t provide many specifics about the chip, details about the upcoming SoC have already started circulating in the rumor mill.
A leak previously revealed the performance of an engineering sample of the alleged Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. The chip purportedly smoothly ran the game Genshin Impact for 45 minutes at 1080p resolution, maintaining a 60fps frame rate.
Since the chip in the test is still being developed, the final version might even perform better, possibly running Genshin Impact at its maximum 60fps at a higher resolution.
Moreover, another report suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s Adreno 830 GPU scored 10% higher than Apple’s M2 chip in the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test. This is impressive, especially considering the M2 is designed for larger devices like Macs.
Before the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s fall debut, Qualcomm is anticipated to release an additional Snapdragon 8 Gen series chip. This interim chip, codenamed SM8635, is rumored to feature a powerful Cortex-X4 core and an Adreno 735 GPU.
The chip is expected to slot between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3 in terms of performance. It may be released as the Snapdragon 8s Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Lite.
