What to expect from the new foldables
Online leaks point to three foldable models: the Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. These model names have repeatedly surfaced in rumors and align with expectations for a significant update to Samsung’s foldable lineup, though precise technical specifications have not been publicly confirmed ahead of the event.
Galaxy Watches: anticipated upgrades
Samsung is also likely to reveal two new watches: the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Recent leaks indicate their displays may remain unchanged, while both models are expected to adopt a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite chip and larger batteries. These changes would signal a focus on improved performance and battery life, but final specs have yet to be disclosed.
XR glasses and Google-powered AI
Alongside wearables, Samsung could demo its Android XR Glasses at Unpacked. Available information suggests these glasses would lean heavily on Google Gemini for contextual assistance, and would use onboard cameras for scene recognition and video capture. As with the other items, these details come from leaks rather than official announcements.
As the event approaches, Samsung Unpacked 2026 should clarify which rumors hold true and which products will actually reach market. For those following the news, the surest way to get official announcements is the livestream on Samsung.com or the brand’s official YouTube channel.
