Samsung will host its next Galaxy Unpacked in London on July 22, with a livestream scheduled for 9:00 a.m. ET. The event is expected to introduce multiple new products — led by a new generation of foldables — and preorders are likely to open immediately after the announcement.
A Galaxy Unpacked focused on foldables
The centerpiece appears to be a family of three new foldable phones, likely to be called the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. These details come from leaks and unofficial reports and should be treated as indicators rather than confirmed specs.
Z Flip 8
The Z Flip 8 is said to stick close to the previous model’s design, with a 6.9-inch main display and a 4.1-inch cover screen. Chipset rumors point to either Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Samsung’s Exynos 2600. Expected memory is 12 GB of RAM, with storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB. Camera hardware is reported as a 50 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultra‑wide.
Z Fold 8 (wide)
This year’s lineup reportedly includes two Fold models, complicating the naming scheme. The Z Fold 8 — described as a “wide” variant — would aim for a broader aspect ratio to compete with any future Apple foldable: an external display around 5.4–5.5 inches and an internal panel of roughly 7.6–7.8 inches (close to 4:3). Expected specs include the Snapdragon Elite 8 Gen 5 for Galaxy, 12 GB of RAM, storage up to 1 TB, and a versatile camera array (50 MP main, 50 MP ultra‑wide, 10 MP selfie).
Z Fold 8 Ultra
The Z Fold 8 Ultra is positioned as the direct successor to the Z Fold 7, with an internal display of about 8 inches and an external panel near 6.5 inches. Rumors assign it the Snapdragon Elite 8 Gen 5 for Galaxy, 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM, and a flagship‑class camera setup featuring a 200 MP main sensor, a 50 MP ultra‑wide and a 12 MP telephoto. Samsung is also said to have improved durability and reduced visibility of the screen crease.
Pricing and availability: likely increases
Multiple sources indicate roughly a $100 price increase versus previous models, a trend linked to memory supply pressures. Reported starting prices circulating in leaks include $2,099 for the Z Fold 8 Ultra, $1,899.99 for the Z Fold 8 (wide) and $1,199 for the Z Flip 8. Treat these figures as unofficial until Samsung confirms them at the July 22 event.
