launch is just weeks away: Samsung has set the date for its next Unpacked event as July 22.

The invite doesnt say exactly what to expect at the London-based showcase,
but it does tease that well see a foldable phone with a new form factor, thanks to the tagline a new shape unfolds, and that lines up neatly with
leaks and rumors. In this article, we've detailed exactly what that new shape might be below, along with details of the other phones, watches, and even glasses that we might see at Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

to be the most affordable of Samsungs upcoming phones and the only one with
a clamshell design.

Leaks suggest that this device could use a new Exynos 2600 chipset though
the US might instead get a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Either way, that would
be an upgrade on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 , which uses the Exynos 2500 chipset in every region. You may like Samsung just sent out invites for a

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 could also have a smaller crease and a slimmer build, but might otherwise be similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, coming equipped with a familiar 6.9-inch foldable display, a 4.1-inch cover screen, a 4,300mAh battery, a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP selfie snapper. 2. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future) The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 could be that foldable with a new shape that Samsung hinted at, with reports suggesting that the company is planning a new book-style foldable thats shorter and wider than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 .

This device is rumored to have a 7.6-inch 120Hz foldable screen , a 5.5-inch cover display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, 12GB of RAM, two 50MP cameras on the back, and a 4,800mAh battery.

This could be one of the more interesting devices at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, since its a form factor that Samsung hasnt tried before. But aside from the size and shape of the screen, it will probably be quite a conventional foldable. 3. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra The Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 7 (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future) Along with the wider model detailed above, Samsung will almost certainly launch a standard successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Unpacked, and this device is rumored to
be called the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra though its unclear whether it will do anything to earn that name.

Leaks suggest the phone might have an 8-inch foldable screen, a 6.5-inch
cover screen, a 50MP wide camera, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP telephoto
with 3x optical zoom.

As with the phone above, its likely to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
chipset and 12GB of RAM, but its battery could be of a higher capacity, with leaks pointing to a 5,000mAh cell.

So in all, the Ultra could have bigger screens, a higher capacity battery,
and an extra camera over the wider model along with an almost certainly higher price. 4. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (Image credit: Future) Were also expecting new smartwatches from Samsung, specifically the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 and probably also the
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 . Theres an outside chance well get a new
Samsung Galaxy Watch Classic, but this is looking less likely.

The Galaxy Watch 9 will probably have a circular display again, with leaks pointing to an Exynos W1000 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and two screen sizes: a 1.34-inch (438 x 438) one and a 1.47-inch (480 x 480) one.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might instead have a Snapdragon Wear Elite chipset, and could be the first Samsung watch to support 5G.

It could also have a massive by smartwatch standards 800mAh battery, 64GB
of storage, and a high 5,000-nit peak brightness for its screen. The display, however, might otherwise be similar to the original Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultras, and it will reportedly come in the same 47mm size. 5. The Samsung Galaxy Glasses Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses (Image credit: Future) Finally, we might also see the Samsung Galaxy Glasses at Unpacked. These would be
Samsungs first smart glasses, and they reportedly run Android XR with access to Gemini .

They might also have a 12MP camera, a 155mAh battery, directional speakers, and weigh just 50g. But theyre not expected to have a screen, so they could
be direct rivals to products like the Ray-Ban Meta . Today's best Samsung phone deals Contract Deals Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S26 36 months Unlimited mins Unlimited texts 30GB data 30 upfront 37.26 /mth View at EE See all
