Samsung’s Next Galaxy Unpacked Lands in London: A New Shape Unfolds
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on 22 July, 2026, is teasing a different kind of folding with the promise of "a new shape." Based on leaks and speculation:
-
Wider Z Fold 8: Expected to have a 5.5-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner display in a shorter, wider body. The crease features a new Flex Titanium hinge designed for a less visible fold line.
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
- Storage: Up to 1TB.
- Battery: Slightly larger capacity.
-
Second Foldable: Potential for another book-style foldable, possibly named Z Fold 8 Ultra.
-
Galaxy Z Flip 8: A quieter update with a 4.1-inch cover and enhanced battery life. It may signal the end of Samsung’s clamshell designs if reports of lineup consolidation hold true.
-
AI Glasses: A wild card, rumored to be co-designed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, running Google’s Android XR with Gemini, competing with Meta’s smart glasses.
Price Considerations
Leaked prices suggest a standard Fold 8 between $1,899 – $1,999, the Ultra near $2,099, and the Flip 8 around $1,099. The memory chip crunch has driven up costs across the industry, impacting foldable prices.
Location Matters
London is the first summer Unpacked event in the UK capital, signifying a focus on European markets and following Samsung’s launch of their first US credit card this week.
What to Expect
The leaks will likely become reality on 22 July. Stay tuned for official reveals and in-depth analysis.
