In just a week, Samsung will take the stage in New York City for its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year. Continuing a long-standing tradition, the company is gearing up to unveil various new flagship devices. What exactly can we expect from this anticipated showcase? Let's break it down.First glimpse of the triple-folding Galaxy Z Fold?The most exciting product at this Unpacked might be one we don't get to fully see: Samsung's first tri-fold phone. When Samsung announced the Unpacked date, it hinted at a new addition to the Galaxy portfolio, which we believe to be a triple-folding foldable Galaxy smartphone.Not much is known about this device, but if it does make an appearance, expect it to be in the form of a short teaser, perhaps another of those “one more thing!” moments Samsung has frequently ended its events with. It could also be showcased for all attendees to admire—but not touch—behind locked glass, similar to how the Galaxy S25 Edge was unveiled.A full reveal and launch may not happen until later this year, possibly in October. Still, if Samsung does offer a sneak peak, it will be a pivotal moment for both the Korean giant and the smartphone industry as a whole.The expected stars: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7As always, the spotlight in Samsung's second Unpacked event will be on new Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will headline the event, continuing Samsung's push to refine its foldable lineup year after year.Expect evolutionary rather than revolutionary updates this year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature Samsung’s thinnest book-style foldable design to date, measuring just 8.9mm when folded and an impressively slim 4.2mm when unfolded if recent rumors are to be believed. It will also bring bigger cover and foldable screens to a mainstream Galaxy Z Fold for the first time, along with a 200MP main camera.

First: a larger cover display, around 4 inches in sizes, that stretches across the upper half of the phone and wraps around the camera lenses. Second: a larger battery rated at 4,300 mAh, putting it nearly on par with the Fold 7's 4,400 mAh battery. $50 credit, other bonuses Reserve a Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Flip 7 Samsung Shop The Flip 7 will also bring a reduction in thickness. Nothing as dramatic as the difference between the Fold 6 and Fold 7, though. And in a first for a foldable Galaxy smartphone, the Flip 7 will use an Exynos chip – the recently announced Exynos 2500.

This Fan Edition model will reuse the design and many components from last year’s Flip 6. It, too, will be powered by an Exynos chip (the Exynos 2400, seen in the Galaxy S24 series last year).New smartwatches, including the return of a Classic modelAlongside its new foldables, Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Watch 8 series. This year, the lineup will include something fans have been waiting for: the return of a Classic model with a physical rotating bezel.Samsung skipped the Galaxy Watch 7 Classic last year, choosing instead to launch its first Ultra smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, alongside the Galaxy Watch 7. This year, the Galaxy Watch 8 will be accompanied by the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The Classic will sport the iconic rotating bezel that many longtime Galaxy Watch users still prefer. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will have the new squircle design Samsung introduced with the Galaxy Watch Ultra last year. It will also feature the action button seen on the Ultra, flanked by the usual home/power and back keys. As far as specs go, we don't expect many upgrades. The Exynos W1000 chip used in the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra will power the Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. The battery capacities will be pretty similar too. New health and tracking features and software tricks will do much of the heavy-lifting when it comes to giving reasons for why consumers should pick up the new watches.For those wondering, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is not getting a sequel. Samsung will simply launch new color options for the existing model, with even the price expected to remain the same as before. However, the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic could be more expensive than the Watch 7 and Watch 6 Classic by around $50.Official One UI 8 rollout to tie a bow on the proceedings?This is merely speculation, but we could see Samsung start the rollout of the official One UI 8 (Android 16) update for some eligible devices at or around the Unpacked event. The One UI 8 beta version for the Galaxy S25 series is in very good shape and Samsung has already tested near-final stable builds as well, and there's no reason the company can't have the final version ready by July 9.As far as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE are concerned, One UI 8 will come preloaded on all three foldables.
