Samsung Galaxy Unpacked day has arrived and this year, it’s being held in South Korea. This is the first time Samsung Galaxy Unpacked has been held in the company’s home country and we couldn’t be happier for them.
Estimated reading time: 13 minutes
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is usually held in either New York City or San Francisco. So moving it out to South Korea is not only a real treat for the company’s employees, but for the country itself. I’ve been to South Korea and Samsung is a big part of the culture there. So the folks out there are probably having a fantastic time celebrating the company’s newest devices. Without further opining from me, let’s get into what is being shown at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, South Korea! Foldables, Tablets, and Watches!
