Taking a look back at seven days of news and headlines across the world of Android, this week’s Android Circuit includes Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked confirmation, the Exynos problem returns, Pixel 8 Pro details leak, OnePlus specs surprise, more power from RedMagic 8S Pro, WhatsApp on your wrist, and a rather special keyboard is launched.

Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can find the weekly Apple news digest here).

Samsung Confirms New Technology For Galaxy Unpacked

Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy Unpacked launch later this month will feature new foldable smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches - the presumptively named Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 leading the charge:

"We’ve raised the standards for foldable smartphone ergonomics. A difference of millimeter in a device’s thickness may not sound like a big change, but every gram and millimeter in a foldable device requires an engineering breakthrough. It demands craftsmanship with passion. When done well, the benefit to users is huge. That’s why we’ve innovated to make our latest foldables slimmer and lighter than our previous generations."

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 family brought a welcome change for many… the South Korean company relied exclusively on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset for every model. Previous Galaxy S handsets were split between Snapdragon and Samsung’s in-house Exynos chipset, offering less performance. Fans are worried that the S24 series may bring back Exynos to some handsets:

Submission statement

Samsung has confirmed that its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will feature new foldable smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. The company also said that it has "raised the standards for foldable smartphone ergonomics" with its latest devices.

Some fans are worried that the Galaxy S24 series may bring back Samsung's in-house Exynos chipset, which has been criticized for its inferior performance compared to Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. However, there is no confirmation of this yet.
