Galaxy Unpacked is a biannual event held by Samsung Electronics where it showcases new devices, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables. It was first held in June 2009 at the CommunicAsia event at the Singapore Expo in Singapore. For successive releases, the event has frequently been held in Barcelona and New York City.
The event includes keynote presentations for product launches, delivered by company management figures. Attendees can visit exhibits and have hands-on experiences of the products in demonstration zones. Live broadcasts of Samsung Unpacked feature a piece of pre-roll music from the Samsung Galaxy franchise, often a customized version of "Over the Horizon", and a repeated animation. Only members of the press, social media influencers, and select international Samsung Members are invited to attend.
In August 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Samsung held their event virtually for the first time to launch its Galaxy Note 20 series of devices. It was broadcast live, yet without the attendance of an audience, from the company's headquarters in Suwon, South Korea. The event garnered over 56 million accumulated views.The Galaxy Unpacked for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Watch 6 Series, and Galaxy Tab S9 Series was held on July 26, 2023 at 12PM GMT (8PM KST) in Seoul, South Korea, where BTS member SUGA (Min Yoon-gi) made an appearance. His song Daechwita, released under his alternate pseudonym Agust D, was featured in the intro for the ceremony. This was the first Unpacked event with a live audience to be held in Samsung's home country.
