Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026: Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8 & Galaxy Glasses — What to Expect July 22

Samsung's summer Unpacked is almost here. Here is what is being reported — and how to get a certified refurbished Galaxy for less right now.

Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the year, with new foldables, smart glasses and wearables all expected to take the stage. Here is a rundown of what the tech press is reporting ahead of the show — and why now is a great time to grab a refurbished Samsung Galaxy phone.

Editor's note (as of July 6, 2026): The details below are based on media reports and leaks and have not been officially confirmed by Samsung. Dates, names, specifications and prices for unreleased products may change. We will update this article after the official announcement.

When is Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026?

Multiple outlets, including Tom's Guide and Android Central, report that Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is set for July 22, 2026 in London. Samsung had not officially confirmed the date at the time of writing, so treat it as a strong rumor until the company sends invites. The timing would put Samsung's foldables in the spotlight roughly two months ahead of Apple's expected fall iPhone reveal.

The foldables: Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8

Reports point to a restructured foldable lineup this year: a standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, a premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the compact Galaxy Z Flip 8. Coverage from TechTimes and The Gadgeteer describes a wider Fold design with a larger inner display and a thinner build. As with any pre-release product, exact screen sizes, chips and pricing remain unconfirmed until launch day.

Galaxy Glasses and Watch 9

Beyond phones, Engadget and Tom's Guide report that Samsung's AI-powered Galaxy Glasses — its answer to smart eyewear — could get a proper reveal, alongside new Galaxy Watch models. These remain previewed, unannounced products, so specifics should be taken with caution.
