According to usually reliable tipsterMax Weinbach, the two foldable phones and the two smartwatches are scheduled to be unveiled on August 3. He didn’t mention the Galaxy S21 FE and the Galaxy Buds 2, but we’re expecting them on the same day.

As for when the devices will actually go on sale, well-known source Jon Prosser says that we can expect the smartwatches to start shippingon August 11, with the foldable smartphones shippingon August 27. It’s going to be a busy month.

What we know so far

At this point we’ve already heard plenty about what these phones and wearables are going to bring with them, though it remains to be seen how accurate the leaks and rumors are. We do know for sure that the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4will come runningGoogle’s Wear OS rather than Samsung’s Tizen.

We’re expectingslightly biggerversions of the smartwatches this time around, and we’ve alsoheard rumorsabout a significant step up in terms of performance power under the hood – which means these two smartwatches should be worth waiting for.

When it comes to the foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is rumored to be arriving withsupport for the S Pen stylus, perhaps to make up for the lack of a Galaxy Note device this year.
