Main Body
The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will take place at 09:00 ET in London under the theme “A new shape unfolds.” This slogan, along with the event's visuals, suggests that Samsung plans to expand its range of foldable phones. Specifically, experts expect a third type of foldable device with a wider and shorter design, which is likely a response to competition from Huawei and Apple. Furthermore, Samsung may rename the current Z Fold series to the 'Z Fold 8 Ultra' to better distinguish between its different models.
即將舉行的 Galaxy Unpacked 活動將於倫敦時間 09:00 ET 舉行，主題為「A new shape unfolds」。這個口號加上活動的視覺效果，暗示三星計劃擴展其摺疊手機產品線。具體而言，專家預期將推出第三種摺疊裝置，其設計將更寬且更短，這很可能是為了回應華為與蘋果的競爭。此外，三星可能會將目前的 Z Fold 系列重新命名為「Z Fold 8 Ultra」，以更好地區分不同型號。
In addition to the new foldable design, Samsung is expected to release updated versions of the Galaxy Flip and Fold models, as well as new Galaxy Watch and Ultra series. To encourage customers to buy these devices early, the company has introduced a pre-registration system. Users who register their interest and then preorder a device will receive a $30 store credit. However, this credit cannot be used to lower the price of the phone itself; instead, it must be used at the time of purchase for accessories—such as rings, earbuds, or tablets—or for Samsung Care Plus.
除了新的摺疊設計外，三星預計將發布更新版本的 Galaxy Flip 與 Fold 型號，以及新款的 Galaxy Watch 與 Ultra 系列。為了鼓勵顧客儘早購買，公司引入了預登記制度。用戶在登記意願後預購裝置，即可獲得 30 美元的商店抵用金。然而，此抵用金無法用於降低手機本身的價格；相反，必須在購買時用於配件——例如戒指、耳機或平板電腦——或用於購買 Samsung Care Plus。
Conclusion
Samsung will present its latest hardware updates and a brand new foldable format on July 22nd.

Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Predictive' Power-Up
At the A2 level, you usually describe things that are happening (Present Simple) or will happen (Will). To reach B2, you need to describe expectations, possibilities, and logical guesses using more sophisticated phrasing.
Look at these three 'bridge' expressions from the text:
-
"...suggests that..." Instead of saying "I think Samsung will...", the text says the slogan "suggests that" they plan to expand. This is how you move from personal opinion to evidence-based analysis.
-
"...is likely a response to..." A2 students say "Maybe it is because of Apple." A B2 student says "It is likely a response to Apple." Use 'is likely' when you are 70-80% sure about a reason.
-
"...is expected to..." This is the gold standard for professional English. Instead of "Samsung will release," use "Samsung is expected to release." It shows that the information comes from a general consensus or expert prediction.
💡 Pro-Tip for the B2 Jump: Stop using "Maybe" at the start of every sentence. Try substituting it with these structures:
-
Instead of: Maybe they will change the name.
-
Try: They are expected to change the name.
-
Instead of: Maybe it is for the competition.
-
Try: This is likely a response to the competition.
