So what other announcements can we expect from Samsung Unpacked 2015?

More Phones than the Galaxy S6

Already a given fact, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be a headliner at the event. But apart from this, there are reports that suggest Samsung will be unveiling two or three other smartphones on their March 1^st event. Could this include the Galaxy S6 Edge?

More Smartwatches

The smartwatch market is believed to take off this year. Considering these played a vital role on their “Unpacked” event last year, Samsung could be shedding light to these products again. Especially with a new Galaxy Gear smartwatch rumored to be in the works, “Unpacked” could be the perfect time for them to show it off.

New Sensor Technology

The executives over at Samsung have long hinted of sensor technology and how these could improve their users’ mobile experience. Could Samsung Unpacked 2015 finally be the year where they unveil their iris scanners, fingerprint sensors and other components? And could it be part of the Galaxy S6?

Newer TouchWiz

TouchWiz this year has been reported to undergo its much-needed overhaul. According to reports, the new version of TouchWiz will sport both design and functionality improvements. Hopefully, Samsung will make its users have an easier time in using the software.

Possibly a Microsoft App

For years, many have speculated that both Samsung and Microsoft have partnered together to provide Office apps to TouchWiz. Considering that the two companies have recently settled a patent lawsuit, there could be some truth behind this rumor.

Samsung Pay Introduced

Considering Apple Pay has recently taken effect for iOS users, Samsung could now be ready to unveil their Samsung Pay option. Through this mobile-payment solution, Samsung users could easily make payments for purchases with their mobile device. Earlier, there were reports that Samsung met with PayPal to discuss specific issues relating to Samsung Pay, unveiling it at Unpacked could be an exciting time for device users.
