Samsung has confirmed its next Galaxy Unpacked event for July 22 in London, with the tagline "A New Shape Unfolds" hinting at a major push into foldable phones. Trusted Reviews reports the event will feature new foldable devices and is expected to mark one of Samsung's biggest hardware refreshes in years.
The keynote will stream live on Samsung's website and YouTube. Viewers in the UK can tune in at 2:00 PM BST, while US viewers can watch at 9:00 AM ET, according to Smartprix.
Three New Foldables Expected to Debut in London
Samsung is widely expected to unveil three new foldable phones at the event. Smartprix reports the lineup includes the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Each model is expected to bring design upgrades over its predecessor.
The biggest surprise may be a fourth device. Trusted Reviews says a model called the "Galaxy Z Wide Fold" is also expected to appear. It features a broader cover display — the outer screen you see when the phone is folded shut. This wider design signals a new direction for Samsung's foldable lineup.
Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 Round Out the Lineup
Samsung isn't stopping at phones. Two new smartwatches are also expected at the event: the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. GizGuide notes these wearables will expand Samsung's lineup alongside the foldable phones.
iTechPost also flags a device called the "Galaxy Able" as a potential addition to the event lineup. Details on that product remain thin, but its mention adds to the sense that July 22 will be a wide-ranging hardware announcement — not just a foldable showcase.
India Pre-Reservations Open With Up to ₹5,999 in Benefits
Samsung has already started building buzz before the event. In India, the company opened pre-reservations for the new devices. Buyers can reserve a spot with a refundable token of ₹2,000, according to Smartprix. The deposit is fully refundable if you change your mind.
Those who do follow through get rewarded. Buyers who reserve early stand to receive purchase benefits worth up to ₹5,999 after launch. Similar promotions are rolling out in other markets, as Samsung works to drive early demand ahead of the July 22 reveal.
Galaxy AI Takes Center Stage Alongside Hardware Upgrades
The event isn't just about new shapes — it's also about new smarts. TechMyMoney reports that Galaxy AI features are a key focus of the Unpacked presentation. Samsung is expected to show how its AI tools work across the new foldable devices and wearables.
Samsung has leaned heavily into AI since launching Galaxy AI features in early 2024. The July 22 event looks set to push that further. With a wider cover display, an ultra-tier foldable, and upgraded watches all in the mix, London could be Samsung's most packed Unpacked yet.
