What to Expect at Samsung's Summer Unpacked

Samsung has been teasing its upcoming foldable devices for several weeks, building anticipation among consumers. In an early June post on its Newsroom, the company hinted at delivering “an Ultra-experience” within “a smaller and more portable form factor.” This is expected to include a “powerful camera” alongside innovative “AI-powered tools,” signifying a commitment to enhancing user experiences.

Following that, Samsung revealed in another blog post that its “newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” This advancement seems to be in line with the sleek design of the recently launched Galaxy S25 Edge, which has garnered praise for its lightweight construction. Samsung appears particularly focused on enhancing the camera capabilities of its foldable devices, leveraging AI technology to help users capture life’s moments with greater clarity and ease. The company stated, “The camera will only get smarter—helping users capture life’s moments more vividly and make everyday experiences more seamless, personal, and impactful.”

As part of its promotional campaign, Samsung released an animated invite for the July Unpacked event. This captivating video begins with the slim profile of a device that dramatically splits into two phones. One of these phones folds like a book, ultimately revealing the on-screen text that reads “Ultra Unfolds.” This visual representation hints at the innovative folding technology that consumers can expect.

How Many Devices Will Samsung Unveil?

Industry insiders speculate that Samsung may unveil several new models during the event, including the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7, and possibly the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra. Alternatively, there are suggestions that the Fold Ultra may be the only version of the Fold that gets released. Additionally, there are whispers of a more affordable variant, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Renowned leaker Evan Blass has shared renders of this rumored device, which bears a resemblance to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 but may feature a shift from the Snapdragon chip to an Exynos processor.

Meanwhile, renders for the flagship Galaxy Z Flip 7 suggest a potential design overhaul, with Samsung possibly removing the physical camera notch in favor of an edge-to-edge cover display. However, fans will need to await the Unpacked event for official confirmations of these features.

Moreover, the Galaxy Watch 8 is rumored to make its debut at the Unpacked event as well. Samsung has already provided a teaser of its new AI-powered sleep and fitness coaching features, which are expected to launch alongside the next iteration of the Galaxy Watch.
