They only had a general timing. The "upcoming Galaxy Watch" will feature the new unified platform and One UI Watch. It will debut at the Unpacked event later in the summer.There's a clear hole in Samsung's usual late-summer Unpacked launch lineup, with reports suggesting there won't likely be a new Galaxy Note. The company may have more to its sleeves than the new Galaxy Watch, but it is likely they do. Samsung may unveil a foldable phone at Unpacked this summer, but we have not yet seen one. The event has yet to be announced, but it is likely to take place in August according to previous years.
