    Samsung teases Galaxy Note20 and other upcoming gadgets

    Samsung will unveil the successor to the Galaxy Note10, pictured, during an online event on 5 August

    Samsung Electronics is preparing to unveil a slate of new mobile devices at a virtual Galaxy Unpacked event on 5 August, when it will elaborate on its shifting strategy to adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Traditionally staged in a Western city, the next Unpacked showcase will be the first one hosted virtually and broadcast live from South Korea. It will feature the unveiling of this year’s Galaxy Note series, a pair of bean-shaped wireless earbuds and a new smartwatch.

    The combination of 5G advances and the changes in work and lifestyles from the coronavirus have given Samsung “a true sense of urgency”, said TM Roh, the recently appointed chief of its mobile communications business, in a blog post. “From foldables to 5G, we have a tremendous amount in the pipeline, with some ready to be shown just around the corner.”

    In setting out his vision for Samsung’s future course, Roh stressed collaboration as one of the company’s key drivers for success. When Samsung launched its flagship Galaxy S20 devices earlier this year, it accompanied them with a slew of partnerships, including Netflix device integration, Spotify music search added to its Bixby digital assistant and close co-operation with Microsoft’s Xbox team. The mobile group chief reiterated his belief that those relationships, along with Google, designer of the Android operating system on Galaxy devices, are key to serving people’s needs as they stay, work and play at home more.

    “Mobile devices have become the only way for many people to work from home and stay connected — they’ve become a true lifeline,” Roh said.

    Larger and pricier

    The Galaxy Note devices are Samsung’s larger and pricier set of mainstream flagship smartphones. They’re typically accompanied by a stylus and demonstrate the company’s latest display technology. This year, their signature colour will be a so-called mystic bronze version of rose gold. Alongside the new Note variants will be new earphones and a watch, both aimed at capitalising on the growing wearable tech market, which Apple leads with its Apple Watch and AirPods products.

    Galaxy Z Flip, the pocketable and foldable device Samsung launched earlier this year, has been upgraded with 5G networking and an anti-fingerprint display coating and will also be available in the market soon, according to people familiar with Samsung’s plans.

    A new Galaxy Z Fold 2 will make its teaser debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event, featuring enlarged screens both on its interior and exterior, said the people, asking not to be named because the plans are not public. This new device will advance the hybrid category of foldable tablets that shrink to the size of a smartphone, which seems to have gone quiet with Huawei Technologies grappling with more pressing issues around US sanctions and Apple and most Chinese phone vendors reluctant to dive in just yet.  — Reported by Sohee Kim, (c) 2020 Bloomberg LP
