Samsung has today announced its latest Unpacked event for August 7th where the company will be unveiling the Galaxy Note 10, the latest in its line of super-sized stylus-equipped smartphones.
The invite gives us a sneak-peak of what to expect, it has a picture of an S Pen and a single camera lens. The latest leaks do give a bit more to go by, the new Note 10 will have a new design and will feature a single front-facing camera embedded in the display at the center (kind of similar to the Galaxy S10 earlier this year).
Other rumors suggest that Samsung could be axing the 3.5mm headphone jack, in favor of a USB-C audio port on the Note 10. There are also reports that Samsung will be releasing two sizes of Note 10 this year, as it has for the regular Galaxy S line of phones in previous years, with rumored 6.28-inch and 6.75-inch sizes. The company may also be offering 5G variants of both of those sizes, for a total of four different Galaxy Note 10 models.
Samsung has just faced a Galaxy fold embarrassment, so the biggest question for the August 7th event is not whether the Note 10 will show up (again, the invite and rumor mill already make that extremely clear), but whether Samsung will use that event to give release date updates on its other long-missing products.
Samsung co-CEO DJ Koh said today the Galaxy Fold was pushed to market “before it was ready.” There’s also the missing Galaxy Home speaker, which was announced alongside the Galaxy Note 9 last year and still has yet to get a release date (the last estimate from Samsung was Q3 2019, but the company has missed multiple release windows for the Galaxy Home before).
We hope Samsung will have other surprises to unveil, though, stay tuned to Techjaja for all the action as we get closer to August 7th.
