In a week, Samsung will host the Online unpacked event, during which Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Z Fold 2 They are expected to be announced.

The Samsung Unpacked event takes place practically on Wednesday, August 5 at 10 am ET / 7 am PT. Unpacked remains similar events of companies like Apple, that online events have changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Samsung will stream the event live from South Korea.
But you can join CNET before, during, and after the event on its live stream hosted by Senior Editors Iyaz Akhtar and Bridget Carey, along with Editor At Large Jeff Bakalar. Senior reporter Shara Tibken will make a special appearance before the event.
In a post in Samsung’s online newsroom, Samsung’s head of mobile business Tae-moon Roh shared that the company will unveil five new devices at the event. Leaks and rumors point to two Galaxy Note 20 devices and the Galaxy Z Fold 2, which would be a follow-up of last year Galaxy Fold.
Members of the media received an invitation to the Unpacked event with an image of a splash of copper-colored liquid. This could be a hint of the color of some, if not all of the new devices to be announced. The video above shows the tip of an S-Pen stylus that comes with Galaxy Note devices. A circular drop of the copper-colored liquid drips from its tip.
Samsung will host a live stream of the event on its website.
