New Samsung foldables and wearables are coming on Wednesday, July 9. The tech giant is throwing a summer “Unpacked” event in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, to announce new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and refreshed Galaxy Watch smartwatches.
Teased last month, we’re expecting “Ultra-worthy” design and tech specs that will—hopefully—wow consumers into paying top dollar for phones with screens that bend in half. What does Samsung need to finally impress? Apparently, skinny foldables. That’s right, the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected to be the thinnest foldables Samsung has ever made—nearly as thin as a USB-C port when they’re unfolded. Meanwhile, Samsung’s entry-level Galaxy Watch 8 is supposed to look more like the higher-end Watch 8 Classic, minus a rotating bezel.
Samsung has been known to throw curveballs at its Unpacked events. In January 2024, it teased the Galaxy Ring, and earlier this year, we got a preview of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Might Samsung have another surprise? Or is that only a January Unpacked thing? Senior Consumer Tech Editor Raymond Wong will be live at Unpacked to share everything from the event! Stay tuned until July 9. It’s gonna packed with news.
