Samsung has announced the date of its biggest launch event of the year, ‘Galaxy Unpacked 2026’. The company will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22 in London. This time the shape of the foldable smartphone may change; The information received so far suggests that foldables will come in new shapes and sizes. It will be interesting to see whether any crease will be seen in the foldable this time or not.
**Possible features of Galaxy Fold 8**
Last year, the company introduced Galaxy Fold 7, which was the thinnest foldable phone. Hopefully the company maintains the same thickness this time too, as launching a device thinner than the Fold 7 would be a revolutionary step – although that’s unlikely to happen. At the event, Samsung can introduce new foldable smartphones, smartwatches and many products powered by Galaxy AI. Although the company has not yet revealed the names of the specific devices, but from the teaser it is clear that the focus will be on foldable devices and AI.
Naturally, upgrades to the Galaxy Fold and Flip series will be launched at this event. A new version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to arrive, and the company may also introduce a new version of its smart ring. Samsung says that the new Galaxy devices will offer a more personalized and AI-powered experience. The company has used the tagline “A New Shape Unfolds” in its teaser, which suggests that we may be seeing a new form factor rather than an upgrade to the existing design.
**Samsung may launch 6-7 devices**
In India, this event can be watched live on July 22 at 6:30 pm. It will be streamed on Samsung’s website and the company’s YouTube channel. Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are likely to be launched at the event. Some reports also mention Samsung’s new smart glasses or XR devices, although the company has not confirmed this. Many leaks have surfaced regarding the Galaxy Z Fold 8; Reports suggest that it may have a new design, wide-cover display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and better cameras. At the same time, special attention is expected to be given to AI features and performance in Galaxy Z Flip 8 also. Samsung has started pre-reservation for the new Galaxy devices in India. Customers can book VIP Pass for ₹999, which will give them benefits and exchange offers worth up to ₹2,799. This offer is valid till July 22 or till pre-booking officially starts.
