What to Expect at Samsung’s Next Galaxy Unpacked Event

Foldables, wearables, and maybe an “Ultra” twist — here’s what might be in store.

Samsung’s next big launch is coming up, and technology enthusiasts are already abuzz with anticipation. While no official date has been announced, a number of reports suggest that the **Galaxy Unpacked** event could occur on July 9 at 10 AM ET, with New York City as the probable venue.

So, what’s in store for fans this time around? As is customary, Samsung is expected to launch the newest models of its foldable smartphones and wearables. Moreover, there have been rumors circulating regarding an exciting new member of the foldable family — maybe even a Galaxy Z Fold Ultra.

The Foldables: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Maybe a Fold Ultra

If Samsung stays true to its traditional release pattern, the summer event would ideally bring in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Rumors indicate that these phones will put immense emphasis on AI features, which could be marketed as Gemini Live, as Samsung also works towards becoming a brand of the future when it comes to AI technology.

Just-released images have revealed the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a more streamlined design and a fashionable navy-blue color. It’s expected to come with slightly bigger screens — a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8.2-inch inside screen. Leaks for the Z Flip 7 also suggest that it will get an increase in screen size.

Yet the most interesting possibility could be a third foldable phone — a potential Galaxy Z Fold Ultra. Hints in a recent teaser by Samsung lean toward an upper-end version, loaded with high-end features and Deep Galaxy AI integration in the foldable form factor. Though few specifics have been confirmed, the company guarantees “industry-leading hardware” and “seamless AI capabilities.” There are no hints that this will be the much-anticipated tri-fold device — but if it is, Samsung can definitely shake things up with a dramatic unveiling.

Galaxy Watch 8: Incremental Updates or Significant Upgrades?

On the wearables side, the Galaxy Watch 8 should launch. That said, hopes are relatively modest. Recent versions of the Galaxy Watch have not brought dramatic improvements — the Watch 7 was criticized for offering incremental enhancements over the previous version.

Despite that, there’s hope that Samsung will stop this trend. Features like better battery life, health monitoring improvement, or new fitness features would definitely be welcome. However, if Samsung doesn’t have something up its sleeve, then maybe we’ll see another year of incremental steps instead of revolutionary progress.

Galaxy S25 FE Rumors: Budget Variant or a Disappointment?

Samsung usually launches its flagship devices at the start of the year, but rumors of a possible Galaxy S25 FE release have emerged. If Samsung is going to release the new Fan Edition model later in the year, Unpacked 2025 would be a great time to begin taking pre-orders.

The last S24 FE had decent specs but was shy of the “budget flagship” moniker because of its cost and lackluster AI performance. Leaks on the S25 FE suggest modest improvements — perhaps a performance upgrade through the Exynos 2400 processor and a longer-lasting battery, but camera updates might be minimal.

If the pricing is still competitive, this phone could find a decent place for itself in Samsung’s lineup. If it prices itself too close to the high-end Galaxy S phones, however, it will not garner much notice.

Final Thoughts: Should You Tune In?

While a lot of what’s on the cards at the next Galaxy Unpacked is familiar enough — with foldables, smartwatches, and mid-range phones on the list — the prospect of an Ultra foldable and more AI integration brings a level of interest to the table.

Whether you’re a die-hard Samsung fan or just interested in what’s next in mobile technology, this event is well worth keeping an eye on.
