We might finally have a date for the next pair ofSamsungflagship phones, theGalaxy Note 20and theGalaxy Fold 2: the two handsets are rumored to be launching on Wednesday August 5, according to multiple sources.

Those sources are the often reliableIce Universeon Weibo as well as Korean news site theDong-A Ilbo, so these rumors carry some significant weight – even if nothing is certain until it’s official (just in case you’re thinking about booking the day off work).

The August 5 date wouldn’t be a huge surprise, because August has previouslybeen mentionedas the month when these devices would break cover. It seems Samsung is keen to get everything unveiled as early in that month as possible.

With a global pandemic upon us, the launch event will of course be online only, but we’d expect it’ll be in a format where everyone can tune in, so you’ll be able to see the hardware for yourself as it’s shown off by Samsung.

What to expect

Interestingly, Ice Universe also predicts that Samsung is going to reveal the Galaxy Tab S7 tablet, a 5G version of theGalaxy Z Flip, and theGalaxy Watch 2at the same time – so we’re in line for a plethora of new devices.

Recent leaks have suggested that the Galaxy Note 20 models won’t vary too much from theGalaxy S20phones that Samsung launched back in February, although there might be some tweaks to the configuration of theon-board cameras.

As for the Galaxy Fold 2, we’ve been hearing that it’s going to come in at a cheaperprice pointthan the originalGalaxy Fold. Rumors also suggest that Samsungwon’t beincluding a stylus with the phone when it eventually breaks cover.
