Samsung’s summer Unpacked event is likely to be a big one for its wearable devices. The long teased Samsung Galaxy Ring is expected to get its biggest reveal yet. If so, that ring would likely debut alongside Samsung’s typical refresh cycle for its Galaxy Watch and the foldable Galaxy Z Flip and Fold phones. CNET will be covering Wednesday’s Galaxy Unpacked event live, and you can watch alongside us with our Galaxy Unpacked watch party.

CNET’s Bridget Carey will be hosting the livestream, which will kick off at 5:30 a.m. PT (8:30 a.m. ET) with our preview coverage. Then at 5:45 a.m. PT, our preshow will begin and will feature check-ins with Managing Editor Patrick Holland live from the show floor in Paris. Samsung’s livestream will then kick off at 6 a.m. PT, which you can watch entirely from within our live show. After the Galaxy reveals wrap, our postshow will kick off to analyze all of the new reveals. CNET’s Abrar Al-Heeti and Lexy Savvides will also join the show throughout, providing live reactions to all of Samsung’s new announcements.
