Overview
- Samsung confirmed on Tuesday that Galaxy Unpacked will be held in London on July 22 with a global livestream and reservations now open.
- The company’s teasers and invitation imagery strongly hint at a new, shorter‑and‑wider Fold design that reporters and leaks call the Z Fold 8 or a Fold 8 Ultra 'wide' model, though specific specs remain unconfirmed.
- Samsung executives have said the next Z series will be linked to mobile AI and multitasking, framing foldable screens as hardware that expands AI-driven productivity features.
- Galaxy Reserve is live offering a $30 preorder credit, entry in a gift‑card sweepstakes, and up to roughly $1,200–$1,230 in trade‑in savings for eligible devices.
- Analysts say the July event is also Samsung’s chance to reinforce its lead in foldables ahead of expected Google and Apple foldable launches later this year, with new Galaxy Watches and possible smart glasses also expected to appear.
