What to expect from the event
Samsung has teased a “new shape” for its foldable lineup, and all signs point to a wider Galaxy Z Fold 8. Leaker Evan Blass has shared images of what appears to be the device, showing a passport-like form factor when closed that opens into an extended display. The leaked specs suggest it will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, feature dual 50MP wide and ultra-wide cameras on the back, and include a 10MP camera on both the cover and main screen. Battery life is rumored to reach up to 26 hours of video playback.
Blass also leaked details about a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. This model reportedly keeps the slim, tall design of the Z Fold 7 but upgrades to a 5,000mAh battery for up to 27 hours of video playback. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 appeared in the same leak, offering a 4,300mAh battery and an unchanged camera setup: a 10MP front-facing camera, plus 50MP wide and 12MP ultrawide lenses on the rear.
Beyond phones, Samsung is expected to unveil new wearables. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is rumored to be 12 percent thinner than its predecessor, with a Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, a larger 800mAh battery, and a display that reaches 5,000 nits of brightness. The Galaxy Watch 9 is also tipped to launch, keeping a familiar design but upgrading to the same Snapdragon Wear Elite chip.
Finally, Samsung might offer a glimpse of its AI-powered smart glasses, which are expected to launch this fall in collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. While a full reveal may come later, a demo during this week’s Unpacked would not be surprising.
