Samsung Unpacked: new foldables and AI glasses may arrive on July 22

Samsung has officially scheduled its next Galaxy Unpacked presentation for July 22, 2026. The company released a short teaser with the phrase “A New Shape Unfolds”, a clear hint at a new generation of foldable devices. The main announcements are expected to be Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy Z Fold8, but Samsung may also show another foldable smartphone, new Galaxy Watch models and smart glasses.

According to sources, the event will take place in London, with the livestream available on Samsung’s YouTube channel and official website. The expected lineup includes Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Glasses — the latter is still a provisional name for Samsung’s first AI glasses.

Galaxy Z Flip8 is rumored to become thinner and lighter than its predecessor and may switch to the Exynos 2600 processor. At the same time, the main cameras, display sizes and battery capacity will likely stay unchanged, while charging could get faster. Galaxy Z Fold8, if the leaks are accurate, will receive wider displays, lower weight, a dual main camera and a 4800 mAh battery.

The most advanced foldable model could be Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. It is said to keep the familiar Fold form factor, add a triple camera and use a 5000 mAh battery, while staying close to Galaxy Z Fold7 in size and weight. This version should become Samsung’s most expensive and capable foldable smartphone.

Also expected at Unpacked are Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. The first model will likely resemble last year’s Watch 8, but add new health and fitness features. Watch Ultra 2 is rumored to bring a more refined design, a Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, a bright display and an 800 mAh battery. Samsung’s smart glasses, developed together with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, are another point of interest: they are expected to run Android XR and use Gemini.
