Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: What to Expect from New Gadgets and Surprise Innovations

On July 7, Samsung will host the Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where it will unveil the next generation of its mobile devices. The main highlights include the foldable smartphones Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, as well as the smartwatches Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9. Samsung continues to advance its foldable device lineup, and this year’s model is expected to feature an updated design, as teased in the trailer for the film *Spider-Man*.

Among the technical improvements for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 are a larger 5,000 mAh battery, a dual camera system, and an aspect ratio closer to that of a tablet. This marks the seventh generation of Samsung’s foldable smartphones, and the company is likely to refine the device’s form factor. The smartwatch lineup may also see a shift away from the classic rotating bezel design in favor of more modern solutions.

Beyond the main announcements, Samsung may surprise users with additional products. In February, the company announced the upcoming release of augmented reality glasses, Galaxy XR Glasses, expected to debut this year. The glasses will feature an eye-level built-in camera and integrate with the Galaxy ecosystem, enabling AI to analyze the surrounding environment. There is also speculation about the second-generation Galaxy Ring smart ring, though its release may be delayed until 2027.

The event will be streamed live starting at 18:00 Moscow time and will be available on Samsung’s official website, Samsung Newsroom, and the company’s YouTube channel. For those planning to purchase the new devices, Samsung is offering a $30 bonus for pre-orders and a trade-in option with up to $1,200 in additional value.
