Samsung is set to launch its next-gen foldable smartphone during its flagship event – Galaxy Unpacked – scheduled for August 5. The South Korean electronics giant will unveil the much-awaited Galaxy Note line-up during the event, along with several other products. The company has confirmed the launch of Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 through social media posts.

Samsung is also expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, the Galaxy Note 20 series and its new truly wireless earbuds on the occasion. The new foldable smartphone is being teased on social media platforms for the last few weeks but there were reports that the company could delay the launch due to software complications. 

Samsung took to Twitter to post a teaser video, where it revealed the updated butterfly logo which it used on the first Galaxy Fold. Samsung revealed the launch date (August 5) on the post, with the caption, “A new look unfolds.”
