Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for Aug. 11

Next month, Samsung will unveil its newest Galaxy device. There are hints in the event invite indicating it'll be a foldable device. Renowned leaker Evan Blass first shared the event invite, which also bears the tagline: "The future will unfold in a different way."

We aren't sure what they mean by that different way. Samsung has been experimenting with this form factor in the last few years. So, we are curious to see what the company came up with this time.

OnePlus isn't one to keep its upcoming devices under lock and key. The company has shown off the Nord 2 5G in a teaser poster on social media, featuring a rear side similar to the OnePlus 9. Its camera module sits at the top-left corner of the casing with a primary 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G will come with a custom-developed Dimensity 1200 chip called Dimensity 1200-AI and Android 11-based OxygenOS 11.3. According to the company, it will get two major Android updates and three years of security updates. OnePlus will launch the Nord 2 5G on July 22.
