Samsung typically follows a predictable release schedule every year. Its flagship Galaxy S series launches in the first quarter, followed by a second Unpacked event in the third quarter to unveil the latest foldable models. 

We’ve seen a similar launch pattern in 2024 so far. But a new leak suggests Samsung might break the tradition with a possible third event later this year.

Tipster Ice Universe, known for accurate tech leaks, hinted on Weibo about a possible October press conference for Samsung. According to the insider, the event will focus on the launch of the Galaxy Tab S10 series (including the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra) and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or the China-exclusive Galaxy W25.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim has been a topic of discussion for some time. As implied by the name, it’s expected to feature a thinner design than the standard Z Fold 6, making it more pocket-friendly.

But to achieve a slimmer form factor, Samsung may need to forgo S-pen compatibility, according to reports. The foldable will likely retain the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor from the new Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is rumored to launch in only a few markets. Ice Universe’s leak suggests it will be released in Korea, while the Chinese market will see it as the Galaxy W25.

The most concrete possibility might be the long-awaited Galaxy Tab S10 series. Rumors about these flagship tablets have been circulating for months now. 

The series is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, moving away from Qualcomm’s flagship chip that the company has used for previous Galaxy Tab S series tablets.

It’s important to remain cautious as these are just speculations based on a single leak. Samsung has yet to confirm any details about an October event. However, Ice Universe’s track record lends credibility to this possibility. We’ll keep a close eye on further developments and update this story as more information becomes available.
