Samsung announces Galaxy Unpacked event

Samsung will unveil its newest handsets at its Galaxy Unpacked event on August 13th.

At this event, we’re likely to be treated to the official announcement of the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Both devices have been heavily leaked in the last few weeks indicating that their launches are imminent.

Both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus are rumoured to feature a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED 2K display as well as glass back panels.

It’s thought that the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will use the Snapdragon 808 hexa-core chipset, and have a 16 megapixel camera and a 3,000mAh battery.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 5 is rumoured to use Samsung's own Exynos 7422 processor, a 64-bit octa-core CPU and the new Shannon LTE modem right on the chip.

It has also been suggested that Samsung is readying a new smartwatch, possibly the Orbis, and a version of Samsung Pay for the event.

All will be revealed on August 13th.
