Samsung is gearing up for its summer Galaxy Unpacked keynote, scheduled to take place in London on July 22. While typically a showcase for the latest foldable phones, this year's event is hinted to feature novel form factors, possibly moving beyond traditional designs.
The company's recent social media teasers have suggested a departure from current foldable shapes, sparking speculation about what Samsung will introduce. The press release for the event mentioned "new form factors" and "intelligent capabilities" to enhance user experiences.
Expectations are high for new iterations of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series, possibly branded as Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8. Rumors point to a wider 7.6-inch internal display with a 4:3 aspect ratio for one model, optimized for video viewing.
Samsung may also debut its Galaxy XR Glasses, building on previous collaborations. Details are scarce, but these glasses are expected to incorporate cameras and microphones for AI interaction.
Additionally, the event is anticipated to feature new smartwatches, including the rugged Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 with a potentially larger battery, and the Galaxy Watch 9, both likely receiving processor upgrades.
While Samsung has confirmed work on the Galaxy Ring 2, it is unlikely to be launched at this event, with a potential reveal in early 2027.
