According to the rumors and teasers we've seen, Samsung will be showing off four major products
The first is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the third generation of the large folding phone The original Galaxy Fold was rough-hewn, but the rough edges have been smoothed out in the Galaxy Z Fold 2
These are expected to include Samsung's first under-display selfie camera A notable change besides the expected chipset upgrade is the availability of an S Pen stylus, making the Z Fold 3 perhaps an even more versatile tool than the current Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Another phone we will likely see this Wednesday is the Galaxy Z Flip 3 This is the second generation (contrary to the name) of Samsung's small clamshell foldable Rumors of this phone suggest an upgraded dual rear camera setup along with an improved exterior display Also rumored is a price cut from the current Z Flip's $1,400 price tag, as well as improved water and dust resistance to avoid compromising the phone's delicate folding mechanism
As for wearables, we expect a Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch reveal This is especially interesting because Samsung is switching operating systems, moving from its own TizenOS to Google's newly revamped Wear OS Whether this is a wise decision remains to be seen
We may also see Samsung's latest audio product, the Galaxy Buds 2 This product, which is believed to be a new entry-level option in Samsung's surprisingly wide range of earphone products, offers noise-canceling capabilities, long battery life, and the convenience of Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, which allows users to connect to multiple devices at once The design of these buds has also been comprehensively leaked and appears to show a new sleek look and a wide range of color variations
