Samsung typically adheres to a consistent release schedule annually, debuting its flagship Galaxy S series in the first quarter, followed by another Unpacked event in the third quarter to introduce its latest foldable models.
This pattern has been evident in 2024 as well. However, a new leak hints that Samsung might deviate from tradition with a potential third event later this year.
Possible October Press Conference
Renowned tipster Ice Universe, known for reliable tech leaks, suggested on Weibo that Samsung might hold a press conference in October. According to the insider, this event will likely highlight the launch of the Galaxy Tab S10 series (including the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra) and either the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or the China-exclusive Galaxy W25.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim has been a topic of conversation for a while. As the name suggests, it is expected to have a thinner design compared to the standard Z Fold 6, making it more compact.
Design and Features
To achieve a slimmer profile, Samsung may have to sacrifice S-pen compatibility, according to reports. Despite this, the foldable is anticipated to retain the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor from the new Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is rumored to be available in limited markets. According to Ice Universe’s leak, it will launch in Korea, while the Chinese market will receive it as the Galaxy W25.
Galaxy Tab S10 Series
The most promising possibility might be the eagerly anticipated Galaxy Tab S10 series. Rumors about these flagship tablets have been circulating for several months.
The series is expected to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, marking a shift away from Qualcomm’s flagship chip that Samsung has used in previous Galaxy Tab S series tablets.
It’s crucial to remain cautious as these are merely speculations based on a single leak. Samsung has yet to confirm any details regarding an October event. Nonetheless, Ice Universe’s track record lends some credibility to this possibility. We will continue to monitor any further developments and update this story as more information becomes available.
