Samsung’s second big phone launch of the year is happening today, July 22, and this time the company is expected to show more than just handsets.
Following February’s Unpacked event, which introduced the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, Samsung is now widely expected to focus on foldables, wearables, and possibly its first smart glasses.
The event is being held in London and starts at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST on July 22. Samsung will stream it live on its website and YouTube, and the video will remain available afterward.
What’s expected? According to TechRadar’s roundup, the phone lineup will likely center on three foldables:

The Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are rumored to be straightforward updates to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, with likely upgrades including new chipsets, smaller display creases, and possibly updated cameras.
The more unusual device may be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is reportedly set to adopt a new form factor. TechRadar says it could be wider and shorter than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Z Fold 8 Ultra, and may also come in at a lower price.
On the wearable side, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. The latter could bring an 800mAh battery and, for the first time on a Galaxy Watch, 5G support.
Samsung may also use the event to introduce Galaxy Glasses — reportedly screenless smart glasses running Android XR with Gemini support, aimed at devices like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
