The Secret Confessions: Wifey’s BFF Episode 48summer tech lull is officially over thanks to Samsung.

Fans of the Galaxy line of smartphones, smartwatches, andearbuds will be happy to hear that the latest Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is mere days away. It's sure to have plenty of announcements about hot new flagship devices, and the good news is you can stream it live for free. Just go to Samsung's YouTube channel at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 11 to catch all the big reveals live.

Samsung already released its latest flagship Galaxy smartphones earlier this year, so expect the August version of Unpacked to focus on other parts of the company's broad tech portfolio.

Specifically, it seems inevitable that we'll see more out of Samsung's nascent foldable business. Recent leaks have pointed to the Galaxy Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 being cheaper than previous models.

Beyond that, don't be shocked to hear more about the future of the Galaxy Watch line, especially since Samsung confirmed there would be a new one in the second half of 2021.

Last but not least, Samsung's wireless earbuds business will almost certainly expand beyond the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro, both of which launched in the past year. Supposed specs and renders have already leaked for the "Galaxy Buds 2," suggesting they'll have an egg-shaped form factor and active noise cancelation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for late summer and early fall tech announcements, as Apple will inevitably have a big September blowout event. If you aren't quite ready for a tech avalanche, you only have a few days left. Get to it.
