Samsung Galaxy Unpacked part 2 live blog: what on earth is coming?
Welcome to our living blog, where we'll be highlighting anything, everything and all the intermediate that Samsung announces today.
We're non expecting As many announcements A at the Galaxy Z Fold 3 launch, and in fact there might non be any new products at all, with customization for its extant foldaway phones looking the most belik, but Samsung may well have approximately surprises up its sleeve too.
There's also an outside unplanned that we'll see the Samsung Wandflower S21 FE, so information technology's worth following along symmetric if foldables aren't for you.
Now's the twenty-four hours of Samsung's next Unpacked event, the - third? fourth? of the twelvemonth - and we're a weensy less certain on what we'Re going to see at this event.
Our fingers are aching after the Google Pixel event yesterday and the Apple October event the twenty-four hours ahead, but nowadays is the last Clarence Shepard Day Jr. of the (technical school) week.
If you want to watch along with the Unpacked event, we've got a guide on that here, or just keep a tab open with this live blog thusly we bum give you all our clever words.
This is the Google Pixel 6, launched last dark alongside the Pixel 6 In favour of. We'ray non expecting Samsung to have whatever close rivals to them tonight - the Galaxy S22 will verisimilar interject early 2022 - but you never know.
Fans of Samsung technical school power be happy to know that we recently publicized our reexamine of the Samsung Galaxy See 4 Classic. This took quite a bit of testing, as we had trouble oneself with some of its exercise and fitness tracking modes.
Some rumors indicate we could see new Galaxy Watch 4 features shown off today, maybe bringing new health or lifestyle tools to the premium Wear OS device.
With the Apple Follow 7 recently out, Samsung could overshadow its close rival by bringing some useful new features not obtainable on Malus pumila smartwatches, but we'll have to see.
Samsung curiously hasn't been making much of a big deal about the Unpacked event on its Twitter accounts - this suggests to us there ISN't releas to be that much happening.

Case in level: the last post on the Samsung Mobile US account was about taking pictures of the great unwashe (whose face you commode't straight-grained get a line because of motorcycle helmets) and nothing to do with the event.
The brand did make one allusion to its ain event...
Scream, stacks of announcements this week! That's fine. Competition keeps us on our bet on.October 19, 2021
... in a tweet subtle discussing Google's event last dark.
So the brand's not just working extra time to build hype for the case, and that's why we're not foreordained anything big is coming. No Galaxy Tab S8 surely.
If you're checking kayoed our live blog straightaway you're a little early still, and nothing's very happening yet - so information technology's a good opportunity to check out another mobile intelligence doing the rounds.
In the UK, the Royal stag Mint (which makes physical money, nothing to do with the sweet flavor) has announced it's loss to start using the gold from recycled mobiles in hard currency in the future. Recollect physical money?
Moveable gambling fans should check out Townscaper, a popular PC independent game which just had its mobile port released on iOS and Android. Also, we've heard a launching date for the Xiaomi Redmi Billet 11 and seen an early image that shows an iPhone-like device.
There are less than three hours to go until Samsung Unpacked kicks soured - that's adequate meter to make lunch, relax, finish your work, watch a few episodes of TV - It's also just all but enough time to check Ridley Scott's The Last Duel which I saw a few days past and recommend.
We're having to put our Sherlock hats connected for this, only there's a bantam bit of evidence to advise the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 could get something at the event in a couple of hours.
Welcome to week two of the #GalaxyWatch4 Health Project! Get together #TeamGalaxy American Samoa they work their way toward a healthier, stronger, better body piece of music. With two weeks left to go, there's however plenty to learn by pursuing #Watch4MyFitnessJourney. pic.twitter.com/FA2aWSXUgNOctober 18, 2021
A tweet from Samsung mobile from two days ago welcomes in workweek two of the keep company's Wellness Project, oriented around the phone, out of a four-week jaunt.
This is basically a promo for the watch and its health features - but what better way to celebrate this advancement than by unveiling something new about the watch at the Unpacked result?
Sure, we could embody reading too far into a twirp, but with little in the way of leaks or rumors letting us know what's coming advanced, we're having to read way too far into things to make guesses.
Two hours to go until the big event - Oregon little event, depending on what in reality shows up - that's plenty time to pop to your local coffee shop to pick dormy a brew, as long as you live most 50 minutes from the shop and don't mind it being cold when you get in reply.
Hush up no tweets from Samsung more or less the event. Hopefully something will occur soon.
Could we see One UI 4 information at the Samsung outcome?
That's Samsung's software for its smartphones supported Android 12, and it launched closing week for select mobiles. Nevertheless the ship's company didn't make much of a fanfare about it, so mountain of people didn't cognize IT was launched at all.
Mayhap the company volition gain many of a song-and-dance about One UI 4 at the event, perhaps itemisation its big features and making pledges for which mobiles will suffer it.
We've got a Twitter poll running about Samsung phones and we want your input:
Today's #SamsungUnpacked Part 2 result is still a bit of a mystery. Piece we wait to experience what Samsung has for United States, how about a quick hypothetical. If Samsung had to ditch nonpareil line of phones, which peerless should it drop?October 20, 2021
Fundamentally, if in a parallel cosmos Samsung decided to linebacker blitzing one of its phone lines out of creation, which would you opt to go?
We didn't include the Beetleweed Note line, because rumors propose it's gone. Instead we've got:
S - the flagship line
A - the budget and mid-rangers
Z - the foldables
M - the budget phones exclusive available in some regions.
Take a right to vote and let us know why you voted the way you did.
Less than an hour until the result kicks polish off. Time to start looking for your TV remote.
Interesting results from our same Galaxy cancelation pollard.
Turns taboo Galaxy S is the most popular series, with only if 16% of voters choosing it as their to the lowest degree favorite line. A third of voters have got chosen the Galaxy M line, but that makes sense since information technology's non as readily available all told regions.
Most prying is that, when we launched this canvass, most of the early votes wanted to get rid of the Galaxy Z line of foldables, merely it's a practically more even split now.
The poll still has 30 proceedings until IT expires, then everything could deepen.
Buckeye State, we've had a few people asking: 'Part 2' in the title doesn't mean this is the second percentage of our elastic blog. Nope, that's what Samsung is career this.
So the YouTube premier has officially started, even though the event is tranquilize 20 minutes away. Nothing's natural event now though - we're just seeing the eq of a giant screensaver that's flicking through Samsung Unpacked logos.
You get into't indigence to outpouring to action and load upbound YouTube just til now.
There's a link in the intro of this clause to our guide on how to watch the livestream, simply if you don't want to click direct to another colligate, you can find it here:
10 minutes to go - time to make a hot drink (or get someone else to) and settle down for... whatever is coming. Get some nice snacks too. It doesn't sound like the event will cost long enough to justify a unharmed meal though - not like you'd have time to falsify IT at this point anyway.
Here we go team, it's protrusive!
Beetleweed Unpacked Part 2 is underway, and we're seeing quartet pastel-like colors swirling around in hearty shapes. A hint at something perhaps? It's looks like a folded Flip.
We've got an artist called Somi talked about how their Wandflower Z Toss 3 reflects who they are. We like how the curtains behind them match with the color of the earphone.
At the moment, this seems similar a showreel of Galaxy Z Flip 3 features, which isn't overly useful since the thing already launched months ago.
You can see the aforementioned curtain and phone combo on a lower floor.
A hardly a posts ago, we mentioned how the intromission to the Samsung Unpacked showed four pastel colors in a mountain range of honest shapes.
The transitions between excerpts of this Unpacked event also manipulation this colors in different shipway. Maybe we're reading too far into this, simply it seems that these colors are important. Could there represent new versions of the Z Flip 3 in these shades?
Now we'Re into some of the meatier parts of the Samsung Unpacked - information technology's about personalization.
You'll now be competent to individualise the blueprint of your Galax urceolata Z Flip 3, by choosing different colors for the flexible joint and two sides: this is called the Flip 3 Bespoke Edition, and you can read more more about IT in our news level here.
The four colours we previously talked about are the different shades you can pick, and you can mix and rival them. According to Samsung, there are 49 different options in total.
Customizable cases were besides mentioned, but we seaport't heard to a greater extent just yet.
We'rhenium seeing more adverts for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 Tailored Edition.
We were on table with the appearance of the basic variant of the headphone, but after seeing this red-hot version, we're on board - particularly the pink-yellow or puritan-yellowed versions.
After careful consideration, we prefer the black hinge over the silver one, but information technology's not a huge difference of opinion.
Samsung Galaxy Z Summersault 3 Bespoke Edition availability has been declared: it's available right now, but costs a little bit much the basic version of the telephone set.
The company has said you'll personify able to swap around the colours after you've bought the phone - presumably the colored parts are standardised, which is pretty cool.
Onto the Galaxy Ascertain 4 straightaway - they'ray currently highlighting pre-active features, like-minded the way you can design your possess watch face for the wearable.
Oh, and we'Re onto Unrivaled UI 4, the freshly software for Android phones supported Android 12. It's got a feature similar to Material You, then you can prefer a color paper for the entire phone.
You mightiness take over missed it, simply one one silver screen, we power saw music playing - and it was Samsung's classical Over The Apparent horizon beingness played past someone from BTS. Is that a wind for the Galaxy S22 line?
Aaand rearward to more Galaxy Sentry 4. They're just listing features that already exist along the phone... once more. But mentioning One UI 4 too. This is pretty eclectic.
And some actual news!
The Samsung Galaxy Look on 4 Bespoke Edition takes the aforementioned customization principles of the Z Flip 3 - detailed below - only with a smartwatch. They didn't talk untold well-nig this, but apparently on the web site, you can prefer colors for the device beyond the standard ones.
Adjacent, they're discussing a collaboration betwixt Samsung and French-Japanese fashion brand Maison Kitsuné. The logo of the brand is a fox, simply not the Firefox one.
Apparently, they're doing Maison Kitsuné-themed Galax urceolata Buds, with a little fox on them - there's also a Watch 4 version with a designed band.
We'll be honest, they look a smallish silly - and they cost to a higher degree the basic versions of the gadgets. Hmm...
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is getting a few tweaks and upgrades.
Thither are some new watch faces, and improvements to precipitate detection. The interesting gain is motion controls - sol quiver your wrist, or raising it, or rotating it, can trigger various functions.
We'll have to test this feature article out much when the update comes to our Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, but it sounds provocative.
So that's information technology - the event is concluded. But we've got some thoughts which we will persist in to share for a little while more.
We're currently along the Samsung website playing about with the Galaxy Z Flip 3 Bespoke Version customization tools.
I'm liking the spotted combo more than I thought I would - particularly with a albescent front and black back - only my taste for the bright and bold colors is shining through when I envision the yellow and pink hues.
This is reinforcing what we thought process during the upshot: replaceable panels would be best. I'd love to be able to customize my phone around whichever of my gaudy / stinking / flower child shirts I'm wearing from each one day.
We'ray playing around with the Galax Watch 4 Bespoke Edition customization tool directly and - well, information technology's less impressive than the Flip one, but IT's fine.
You can prefer betwixt a black, silver or gilt consistency for the 40mm watch and black, silver or common for the 44mm, as well as black and silver for either size of the Watch Standard.
There are loads of bands to choose from; loanblend leather ones, sports bands, 'extreme sports' bands, milanese bands, 'ridge sport' bands, we don't know what half of that even means. Most of those have loads of colors too.
While the nature of a watch way the customization affects less of the design, there are quite an few much options here than for the Flip.
TechRadar's Home Entertainment Editor program Nick Pino has given the finding of fact "that Unpacked was sort of gutless" and we don't disagree.
There wasn't whatsoever new hardware - not unless you count out new shades of old hardware - and One UI 4, which was mentioned quite morsel, in reality launched last workweek.
There was no Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Tab S8 or anything mistakable for the States to sink our teeth into. This could have been a press release, or an email, not a whole event.
At the least it was only 20 minutes mindful - and skipped lots of the boring preamble lots of similar tech events have.
Interestingly, in that location's a Galaxy Custom-made incision on Samsung's internet site, as well as specific listings for the Z Snotty-nosed 3 and Watch 4 Tailored Editions.
If we were to put our speculative caps on, we'd say that points towards future Bespoke phones in the future. Key-by-numbers Galaxy Z Flip 4 could glucinium prospective, but we'd like to see a colorful Z Folding 3 first - proto rumors pointed to RGB lights on that foldable's flexible joint which would be surprising.
Peradventur we'll see a Samsung Galaxy S22 wander with customizable designs - we lie with from the S20 FE that Samsung is no unknown to interesting-cinnnamon colored phones, and this is just the earthy extension of that.
If you've got particular thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition, let US sleep with on Twitter.
We've put unsuccessful a call from the official TechRadar account asking you for your opinions: do you think it's great, or looks lame? Wish you cull out a multi-coloured Flip, or stick to the original ones?
And what do you think about the Mary Leontyne Pric increase for the Bespoke Edition - do you think it's worth the extra cost? Mind the specs are the same.
Which Samsung Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition colourize jazz group would you chose? #SamsungUnpacked 5 device colors (black, pink, blue, yellow, white)2 hinge colors (calamitous and silver)49 discolor combinations! moving picture.twitter.com/lbtVEa35TGOctober 20, 2021
We're scratching our heads over something... how crapper there be 49 different versions of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition?
Our logical thinking is thus: since there are two distinct types of hinge, the total number of combinations must be divisible by deuce: that's because every coloring material combo can either fare with a silver or black hinge.
We made a list of every unshared people of color combination for the telephone, and hit 50. And then what's this mystery missing speech sound? Presumably we'Ra making a mistake - we were hired to handle words, not numbers game - but IT's going to vex us until we work it out.
Samsung's Newsroom has an article on the Maison Kitsune collaborationism, with about designs that we didn't see in the Unpacked event - you can see the post here.
On that point's a Galaxy Buds case with the throw on it, which looks much Thomas More attractive than the logo unity we saw during the upshot.
We also convey a clearer look at the Maison Kitsune watch band, with a cut-out in the shape of a confuse, which we did see in the effect though entirely for a short number of time.
Samsung has a Newsroom blog post that discusses the Z Twitch 3 Tailor-made Edition a number Sir Thomas More, and in uncommon Tailored Upgrade Care.
This is the ability to swap around the colors of your Galaxy Z Flip 3 BE - apparently "Galaxy Z Flip3 Made-to-order Edition owners crapper register to replace their device panel with new colors at Samsung.com".
It sounds like you give the axe't just buy replacement panels and barter them around yourself - you'll need to get someone at Samsung to do it for you. That's annoying, just makes sense - people could easily damage their twist by replacement parts poorly.
All these colors to make it uniquely yours! How will you be coloring your #GalaxyZFlip3BespokeEdition? #SamsungUnpackedOctober 20, 2021
If we were to rank the tech events of the parting three days, we'd aver Orchard apple tree > Google > Samsung.
Malus pumila impressed our computing experts with its new MacBook Pros, which are said to comprise super-regent, too as the AirPods 3. I in person was loving by the $19 shining cloth which went on sales event too.
Google's event was okay, merely the Pixel 6 and 6 In favor of had been leaked to high promised land by the time the issue started - we also didn't pick up anything about the smartwatch, foldable speech sound surgery tablet we thought Google was working on.
Samsung was the wet squib of the trilogy, with nothing really new. That's fine, as Samsung didn't promise to change the world, but having the Unpacked after two huge technical school events was perhaps poor timing.
Here's a screenshot from the event we just found we took. It shows a cute dog happening One UI 4. They look very happy. We've got nothing to a greater extent to impart.
Several multitude have been querying the Galaxy Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition's prices. It's slightly pricier than its standard (bes-nope variation?) counterpart.
The original Z Flip 3 costs $999 / £949 / AU$1,499 just for a Bespoke model, that goes aweigh to $1,099 / £1,049 (about Atomic number 79$1,500). It's a medium price shift, but for someone who wants a new phone, it's definitely something to turn over.
American Samoa we said, the Galaxy Z Somerset 3 BE (we posterior't be bothered to write out Bespoke Edition every time - you get it) costs Sir Thomas More than the standard variant, only fortuitously Samsung's trade-in scheme applies.
This means you can lose astir to $600 / £500 off the selling price if you send Samsung one of your older phones. Sure, for the biggest discount you pauperism to switch in a rattling modern Sammy phone - think Galaxy Z Fold 2 Beaver State Z Flip 5G - simply IT's something.
OH that's cute, Samsung – retrieve when they excited what felt like a surefire Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 BTS Version? The K-pop supergroup did appear Eastern Samoa part of the launch event...but just to promote the Z Leaf 3 BE. Samsung even tweeted out what looked like a link to a ostensible collaboration betwixt the company and BTS...which takes you straight to the Bespoke customization screen:
Guess what @BTS_twt's response is with #GalaxyZFlip3BespokeEdition?Now, customised your #GalaxyZFlip3 your way. #GalaxyxBTS #SamsungUnpackedLearn more: https://t.co/p97taQgfMw pic.twitter.com/tHGommb93bOctober 20, 2021
Sadly, no stick to-up to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus BTS Edition – you'll experience to make your own in the Bespoke customizer.
Introducing the Z Flip 3 Cost is groovy for consumers who wanted a trifle more personalization in front pulling the trigger on the grapple foldable, just what about common people who deficiency the same in other foldables? Wil there be a Samsung Galax urceolata Z Fold 3 BE?
We reached out to Samsung and asked if more foldables would get along the Customised Edition treatment, and it looks likely. Per a Samsung interpreter:
"The Extragalactic nebula Z Flip3's iconic intention and personalization options course appeal to consumers looking to expressage their individuality in every aspect of their life. In fact, since the first launch, we've seen many consumers individualise their Z Flip devices with unequaled accessories and themes for their wallpaper or Cover Covert. Starting with the Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoken Variation, Samsung will expand this initiative to early devices moving forward."
Questioning why the Z Flip over 3 BE and its customization process arrived months after the Z Flip 3 launched in August? We did too – hither's what a Samsung voice told us ended email:
"Customization in tech is rare every bit it requires the power to make water one-person devices, when trading operations are typically built to handle mass yield. However, Samsung's unique manufacturing unconscious process and craftsmanship allow for us to offer something unique. Our e-commerce team has been working hard to create the Bespoken Studio and we're thrillful it's introduction in the nick of time for the holiday shopping season for Beetleweed Z Flip3."
One last note: yes, we were wondering if the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE would launch at Unpacked, especially ace consecrate 'to the fans.' So we asked Samsung if the reported ring had been planned to plunge at this issue. A representative wouldn't confirm, but gave this statement:
"We can't comment on our product roadmap, but we're focused on listening to consumer of necessity and providing options crosswise our mobile portfolio for all price point. We're seeing a lot of demand and interest group in both our current S series lineup and our in style folding devices. To meet our customers' needs, we're prioritizing those devices right now."
