Galaxy Z Fold 7 to launch on July 9 at Samsung Unpacked event
Samsung’s foldable phones are expected at its July 9 Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are rumored to be the highlights. Samsung is offering a $50 Samsung credit if you reserve interest with your email address. No obligation to buy it in the end, but the offer vanishes on July 9. New Galaxy watches are also expected to launch at the Un packed event. There are expectations that three new Galaxy smartwatches may launch: Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. There is also a strong chance we’ll see a near-final version of Samsung’S Android XR headset, the Project Moohan, and a Samsung Galaxy S8. The event will take place in New York City at 10am ET, with tickets going on sale at 10:30am ET and 12:30pm ET.

⌚ New Galaxy watches are also expected to launch at the Unpacked event
We’ve been reporting on Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors and Flip 7 rumors for months, and we finally have a firm launch date for Samsung’s next foldable Android smartphones.
You’ll get your first glimpse of the new Galaxy Fold 7 and Flip 7 on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, according to Samsung’s official announcement today, and leaks suggest we may see a brand new tier with a flagship-level camera, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra.
Before July 9, you can get a $50 Samsung credit.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order
Even before Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 pre-orders begin, Samsung is offering a $50 Samsung Store credit redeemable toward the pre-order. That means you’ll save money on accessories like cases, watches, and earbuds. Samsung’s fine print says the credit is “redeemable towards ecosystem purchases during preorder.”
To be eligible for the $50 offer, you first need to “reserve interest” in Samsung’s new phones before July 9. Note: You have no obligation to actually purchase anything if you sign up with your email address today (you’re not pre-ordering yet). Of course, if you don’t end up buying a Z Fold 7 or Z Flip 7 series phone (or a watch), you won’t get the $50 credit.
But judging from our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review and Z Flip 6 review and the rumors about how the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 will be better (read: bigger screens), there’s ample reason to at least show interest (knowing the deal vanishes on July 9).
To sweeten the deal this year, Samsung is adding “3x Samsung reward points in your pre-order purchase” and an entry into a sweepstakes with the grand prize being $5,000.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors
We already got the sense that Samsung would announce new foldable phones at a July 9 launch event in NYC, thanks to a flurry of Z Fold 7 leaks. The screens are expected to be bigger at 8 inches on the inside (up from 7.6 inches) and 6.5 inches on the front (up from 6.3 inches). This will help Samsung compete with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
We’re particularly interested in reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, if that ends up being a real product outside of the rumor mill. Samsung has teased a new tier of its top foldable smartphone that will boast a 200MP “powerful” camera.
Meanwhile, the smaller Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to get a larger cover display and bigger battery to keep up with Samsung’s chief rival in this category, the Moto Razr Ultra.

More than just the Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Fold 7 Ultra and Z Flip 7 phones might not be alone. There are expectations that three new Galaxy smartwatches may launch, too: Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. There’s also a strong chance we’ll see a near-final version of Samsung’s Android XR headset, Project Moohan.

The next Samsung Unpacked event takes place on July 9
Samsung will hold its third Unpacked event on July 9 in New York. The company is expected to show off its latest foldable devices. A new Galaxy Watch is also expected to make an appearance. There are also rumors of a Galaxy S25 FE and an Android XR headset. If you make a reservation on Samsung’s website, you can receive a $50 credit.
Samsung is promising a look at the “next evolution of Galaxy AI and the ever-expanding Galaxy ecosystem.” The company usually debuts its latest foldables in the summer, so we are expecting to see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 here. As if there was any doubt that this Unpacked will focus on foldables, an image Samsung sent out along with event invitations (embedded below) makes that clear. It’s looking like the rumored Galaxy Z Fold Ultra is in store too, as a teaser video includes the phrase “Ultra Unfolds.” Way to be subtle, Samsung.

A new Galaxy Watch also seems likely to make an appearance, while rumors have been flying around that this Unpacked may feature a Galaxy S25 FE, which is slated to arrive later this year. We may even get a glimpse of a Samsung tri-fold phone. Meanwhile, the Android XR headset that Samsung has been working on with Google is slated to arrive this year — this Unpacked seems like a good opportunity for the company to spill the beans on that.
If you’re already pretty sure that you’re going to switch to a new Samsung device, you don’t necessarily have to wait until July 9 to make a reservation for one of the upcoming models. In fact, if you make a reservation starting tonight on Samsung’s website, you can receive a $50 credit.
