Samsung announces the date of Galaxy Unpacked event for its new foldables

24 June 2025

Last week, leakster Evan Blass said that Samsung would host its Galaxy Unpacked event for the unveiling of new foldables on July 9. Well, Blass’ claim has turned out to be true, as Samsung has confirmed the July 9 date for the Galaxy Unpacked event.

The event will be hosted in Brooklyn, New York, and will begin at 10AM ET. It will also be streamed live on Samsung’s official website and YouTube channel.

The Korean brand hasn’t revealed how many devices it will unveil at Unpacked and simply stated that the “next-generation Galaxy devices are being reimagined around a new AI-powered interface, supported by breakthrough hardware built to unlock their full potential.”

The video teaser Samsung shared says “Ultra Unfolds” towards the end, which could lead one to believe that Samsung will introduce the folding Ultra at the Unpacked; however, rumors claim that’s unlikely to happen.

While Samsung didn’t explicitly mention the names of the products it will introduce at the July 9 Unpacked event, rumors suggest that the brand will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch8 series.

We’ve already had two Galaxy Unpacked events so far this year: one for the Galaxy 25 series in January, and another low-key one in May for the Galaxy S25 Edge. Samsung just announced its next Galaxy Unpacked event, which will be held on July 9 in New York City where we’ll likely get our official look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Watch 8 and more.

So far, rumors about a Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 event have been non-stop — including those around another glimpse for its Project Moohan headset. What’s also interesting are all the teasers Samsung’s been giving us around its Galaxy Fold Ultra, which is being hyped for its thinness.

Now that it’s official, the next Galaxy Unpacked on July 9 will kickoff starting at 10:00 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT / 3 p.m. BST in Brooklyn, New York, which will be streamed live on Samsung Newsroom, Samsung.com, and its YouTube channel.

You’ll be able to watch everything live as the event unfolds, but we’ll be covering it live. In addition, Samsung intends to show off its new devices at its various Galaxy Experience Spaces in Paris, London, and New York City right after the event concludes.

All fingers point at the Galaxy Z Fold 7 being the showcase device for this upcoming event, based on the amount of teasers Samsung has sent out in the last few weeks. With its 7th generation notebook style foldable, the Z Fold 7 is shaping up to get the biggest upgrades to date — complete with a much thinner design, more Galaxy AI features, and appears to borrow the same 200MP main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

There’s still some confusion on what this foldable phone will ultimately be called, mainly because of how Samsung keeps on referring to ‘Ultra’ in all of its teasers. Most leakers and analysts have referred to the upcoming foldable as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but it’s likely just going to be one device that will adopt the ‘Ultra’ moniker into its name. Perhaps it’ll be called the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra?

As for the phone in question, it’s tipped to feature a larger 8-inch inner display, 6.5-inch cover display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the thinnest design in the series to date, and a triple camera system complete with that aforementioned 200MP main sensor.

Even though there have been earlier leaks hinting at no price change for this best foldable phone contender, they all came before Samsung’s teasers. Knowing how much more of a premium Samsung gave to the Galaxy S25 Edge, it’s possible we might see the same happen with this upcoming phone.

Motorola has already caused quite a stir with the launch of its Razr Ultra (2025), so the Galaxy Z Flip 7 can’t afford another having minor upgrades. First of all, the flip-style phone is expected to grow by a little due to how it’s tipped to get a slightly larger 6.85-inch main display.

More importantly, though, CAD renderings leaked of the phone indicate that the cover screen is growing in size from 3.4-inches to 4-inches. This is a much-needed upgrade and would better allow it to compete against the Razr Ultra (2025), especially if Samsung could allow it to run full apps natively.

It’s also believed to feature a larger 4,300 mAh battery, which will likely deliver the longest battery life to date in the series — especially when the entire Galaxy S25 saw big gains with their battery performance. However, it looks as though it’ll retain the same cameras found with last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 6.

One recent rumor points to Samsung possibly fully adopting the Exynos 2500 chip instead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for the Flip 7, which would be a very big change.

Another interesting rumor is the possibility of a lower priced model, presumably the Galaxy Z Flip FE, which could be stripped down in such a way to compete against Motorola’s own low-cost flip phone in the standard Razr 2025.

There’s a strong possibility we’ll see upwards of three different Samsung smartwatches at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. In addition to the Galaxy Watch 8, we could see the return of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic after a test firmware was leaked earlier in the year — and leaked renders soon after.

Rumors hint that the new Classic will be available in one size, 47mm, but will come with a rotating bezel, 435 mAh battery, and a 1.5-inch display.

Meanwhile, reliable leaker Evan Blass shared a fresh batch of photos — including a model labeled as the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Similar to the last version, it seems that it’ll be sporting a familiar square-circle design, but it appears to be a minor color adjustment that shows notches in the bezel being orange.

As for the standard Galaxy Watch 8, there’s been a lot of rumors around it, including how it could feature a squarish case design with a potential of moving away from an OLED screen to a MicroLED instead. Lastly, rumors say that the Galaxy Watch 8 could possibly offer blood glucose monitoring via the wrist — which would be a big addition to its already stacked health monitoring features.

Project Moohan

Project Moohan has long been teased several times over since it was first unveiled late last year.

While the joint Samsung and Qualcomm Android XR powered headset is expected to be an Apple Vision Pro rival, it’s reportedly going to be shown off in some capacity at the Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 according to tipster PandaFlashPro, who revealed that all the details won’t be revealed at the event — with Samsung choosing have a dedicated Unpacked event for it.

Nevertheless, there’s a lot of curiosity and buzz about this Android XR headset. During Google I/O, our own managing editor, Philip Michaels, got to a Project Moohan hands-on to see what this headset is capable of.

It’s expected to deliver a more immersive experience for all sorts of content, whether its entertainment or productivity, but while it’s intriguing, the biggest question that remains is its price.

It’s unlikely Samsung will answer that question at its rumored Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 event, but hopefully we’ll learn a bit more about what it could do.

One UI 8

Samsung’s newest software for its phones could get a proper reveal at the Galaxy Unpacked July 2025, where it would certainly power its latest foldable phones. However, the One UI 8 beta has already been rolling out to the Galaxy S25 first through its beta program, giving owners a first taste of the new software.

Its release also coincides with the broader rollout of Android 16, but it’ll be interesting to see if any exclusive features make their way specifically to its new foldable phones first. With last year’s roll out, Samsung introduced new Galaxy AI features such as Sketch to Image, Portrait Studio, Note Assist, and a new Interpreter mode for real-time translation.
