Samsung suggests this technology will make the phone an essential tool for daily tasks, creativity, and staying connected. The company also mentioned that considerable engineering effort has gone into creating a device that offers top-tier performance in a lightweight and portable body.

The unveiling event will be broadcast live on Samsung’s official channels, including the Samsung Newsroom, Samsung.com, and Samsung’s YouTube channel.
The new phone will launch in a competitive market where other major brands like Apple and Google are also heavily integrating AI into their devices. These competitors have been advancing their camera systems and AI-driven features as well. Samsung’s new phone will need to show clear user benefits from its specific AI and hardware combination.
The key question lies on whether a significantly slimmer smartphone is what consumers are prioritizing at the moment. This design direction appears to be a trend some manufacturers, including Apple with its upcoming slim model, are leaning towards. However, it remains to be seen if this focus on thinness over other potential features will be a successful strategy in the current market.
