Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event, set for July 22 in London, may become the company’s biggest hardware showcase yet. Leaks point to not one but three foldable phones, two new smartwatch models, and possibly the long-rumored Galaxy smart glasses. While Samsung has only confirmed the event itself-leaving device details under wraps-the flood of recent rumors offers a solid preview of what’s likely coming.
When and where to watch Galaxy Unpacked
Samsung officially announced that Galaxy Unpacked will take place in London on July 22, streaming live at 4 p.m. Moscow time (1 p.m. GMT) via Samsung’s website, YouTube channel, and Samsung Newsroom. Early registrants can snag discounts for in-store purchases tied to preorders. The event’s tagline, ”A New Shape Unfolds,” hints at a fresh take on foldable design that’s expected to shake up Samsung’s device lineup.
Expanding the Samsung foldable lineup
Leaks suggest Samsung might split its flagship foldable line into two distinct Galaxy Z Fold 8 variants-a wider, shorter model to address ergonomic issues common in previous generations, and a more traditional, premium Fold 8 Ultra. Joining them is the Galaxy Z Flip 8, which may see modest upgrades but could surprisingly swap Snapdragon chips for Samsung’s own Exynos processor.
New details on colors and storage options for the Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 imply a broader range than before, although all three models might come with higher price tags. Samsung hasn’t confirmed pricing yet, but analysts expect a cost increase given recent component inflation and advanced features.
New Samsung smartwatches and Galaxy smart glasses debut
Alongside the foldables, Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. While designs reportedly remain similar to last year’s models, the Ultra variant could get a significantly brighter screen and a larger battery. Pricing leaks point to a price hike for the entire smartwatch lineup.
The event could also officially introduce Samsung’s rumored Galaxy smart glasses, a product long shrouded in speculation. Recent leaks have teased the functionality these glasses might offer, but it’s unclear whether Samsung will launch them fully or merely preview them as a concept alongside the new foldables.
This summer’s Galaxy Unpacked might turn into one of Samsung’s most ambitious hardware reveals in recent memory-a trio of foldables, fresh watches, and maybe smart glasses. That said, with only the event date and location confirmed, consider these leaks best-case scenarios rather than guarantees.
Internationally, Samsung’s push toward foldable phones and wearable devices continues to challenge Apple and other Android rivals. While Apple’s Vision Pro smart glasses and Watch Series 9 lead in integration and ecosystem strength, Samsung aims to broaden foldable options beyond premium niches. How Samsung balances innovation, design, and pricing this July will be a clear sign of the direction for foldables and wearables across 2026 and beyond.
