Galaxy Unpacked July 2025: How to watch and what to expect
The summer Unpacked will be held in New York City on July 9 as an in-person event. However, as usual, there will also be a livestream on Samsung's YouTube channel for people who cannot attend the live event. The stream is embedded above for your viewing convenience. The event is scheduled to start at 10 AM ET / 3 PM BST / 4 PM CET.
A look at a dummy unit of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. | Image credit – The Sinza The stars of the show will likely be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 phones. There have been plenty of leaks for Samsung's upcoming foldables, so we know quite a lot about them already.This year, we expect evolutionary updates rather than a revolution. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be the thinnest foldable Samsung has made so far. Reportedly, the phone may measure just 8.9mm when folded and just 4.2mm when unfolded. Also, we expect a bigger cover screen and foldable screens, as well as an upgraded 200MP main camera for the Fold.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly come with two big updates: a larger cover display (around 4 inches) and a larger battery - reportedly, 4,300 mAh.
The Flip 7 is also said to be thinner, but the difference is expected to be less dramatic than the one between the Fold 7 and the Fold 6. And, reportedly, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature an Exynos chip - the Exynos 2500, instead of Qualcomm's variant.
A 'more affordable' Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is also expected to be unveiled at the event. The Fan Edition version will reportedly have the same design as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and may sport many of its components. Under the hood, it's said to be powered by the Exynos 2400.
There are exciting rumors that Samsung may tease an upcoming tri- foldable phone at the event. We may not get a full announcement, but a teaser may appear at the event. The Unpacked announcement teased at a new addition to the Galaxy portfolio.
There aren't a lot of things known about this triple-folding Galaxy. We expect a short mention or a brief teaser about it during the event, similar to a "One More Thing" moment. A dummy unit could also be shown, just like how Samsung teased the Galaxy S25 Edge. A full reveal of the tri-folding Galaxy may happen later in the year, possibly in the fall.

Samsung is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch 8 series during the event. Rumor has it that the announcement will also mark the return of the beloved Classic model with a physical rotating bezel. Last year, Samsung skipped this model and unveiled the Galaxy Watch Ultra with the Watch 7. But this year, reportedly, there will be a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. Reportedly, it will sport the new 'squircle' design that Samsung introduced last year, and it may also come with an action button. We expect the Exynos W1000, which is the chip in the Watch 7 and Ultra, to power this year's smartwatch models as well. Expect more health and tracking features and new software tricks. Meanwhile, rumor has it there won't be a Watch Ultra sequel this time, and instead, Samsung is expected to launch new color options for the existing model.
One UI 8. | Image Credit – Samsung Rumor has it that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 may come with One UI 8 (based on Android 16) out of the box. Speculatively, Samsung may start the rollout of the new OS around the Unpacked event to eligible devices. Right now, Galaxy S25 phones are testing the One UI 8 beta.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is a Black Friday in July doorbuster like no other at a $120 discount
Fairly reasonably priced at $549.99, the hardcore gaming-friendly Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is an outright steal at $429.99. Marked down by up to $100 a few different times over the last couple of months, the extraordinarily powerful and remarkably stylish 8.8-inch slate is now on sale at a new record high discount of 120 bucks for a limited time. This totally unprecedented and possibly unbeatable deal is part of a sitewide Black Friday in July campaign, and just like the "real" Black Friday sales events organized in the fall, it's likely to last more than a measly 24 hours. At the same time, your demand could wipe out the company's inventory at any moment, so it might not be wise to delay your purchase too much. $120 off (22%) 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 8.8-Inch LTPS Display with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Android 14, 6,550mAh Battery, 65W Charging, Two Superlinear Speakers with Stereo Audio and Dual X-Axis Haptics, 13 + 2MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, ColdFront Vapor Chamber Tech, Eclipse Black Color, Folio Case and Rapid Charge Adapter Included Buy at Lenovo After all, this is an Android tablet like very few available in the US right now, with not just a snappy Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor under the hood, but a generous 12 gigs of RAM and state-of-the-art Legion ColdFront Vapor Chamber technology as well. That latter component guarantees your little gaming beast will stay nice and cool during the lengthiest Call of Duty sessions, while the 8.8-inch "PureSight" screen comes with 165Hz refresh rate support to ensure ultra-smooth gameplay and responsiveness at all times. Of course, any mobile gaming machine also needs a generous battery to keep its most demanding users satisfied, and the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 checks that box surprisingly well, with 6,550mAh cell capacity. That's especially surprising when you consider that the device tips the scales at only 350 grams while measuring less than 8mm thick. Oh, and if you need a little extra fuel fast, the relatively affordable tablet has a decidedly impressive 65W charger in its standard retail box. Granted, the long-term software support is likely to be... underwhelming at best, at least compared with Apple's best iPads and Samsung's top Galaxy Tab options. But you obviously can't have it all at only $429.99, and with neat stuff like dual USB-C ports, bypass charging, and super linear speakers, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 pretty much has everything you could wish for aside from guaranteed Android 18 or 19 updates.

Hands-on video could reveal that Samsung has made a surprise decision about the Fold 7 camera
The other day, we showed you hands-on images of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Today, just a couple of days before Samsung unpacks the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 , Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch 8 Ultra, we have a short hands-on video of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for you to see. The short 19-second clip was posted on X by @UniverseIce. However, there is an issue with the video that has many questioning its legitimacy. Last month, there was a report stating that for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , Samsung had decided to do away with the Under-Display Camera (UDC) used on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Instead, because the quality of photos taken with the UDC were not up to snuff, Sammy is expected to bring back the punch hole camera for the internal display. Looking at the video purportedly showing off the Fold 7 's internal display, we don't see that punch hole camera, which means one of the following is true: The previous rumors about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 losing the UDC were wrong. losing the UDC were wrong. The punch hole camera on the internal screen just can't be seen in the video. The device in the video is the Galaxy Z Fold 6 , not the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . Another possibility is that the point of the tweet and the embedded video was lost on everyone. The tweet says, "Goodbye Fold6, hello Fold7." This could have been the well-known leaker's way of saying goodbye to his Galaxy Z Fold 6 . However, if this is the case, why show a video that tests how smoothly the device runs and how quickly apps open? We might not know the answer until Wednesday, when Samsung introduces the latest iteration of its book-style foldable. Goodbye Fold6, hello Fold7. — PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) July 6, 2025 As noted, the video inside the tweet shows how responsive the device starring in the video is. If it is the Galaxy Fold 7 , we expect it to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 application processor (AP), the same chip used to power all Galaxy S25 series handsets. The internal Dynamic AMOLED display is rumored to weigh in at 8.2 inches with a 2160 x 1856 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED cover screen features a 2376 x968 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is said to be equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The rear-camera array is believed to include a 200 MP primary camera, a 12 MP Telephoto camera, and a 10 MP Telephoto camera. The battery will reportedly have a 4400 mAh capacity. Is the phone in the video a Fold 7 or a Fold 6? We should know all in two days. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer

Samsung Unpacked July 2025: what to expect
Peter, 07 July 2025 The next Galaxy Unpacked is this Wednesday, July 9. It will be held in Brooklyn, New York and will be livestreamed on Samsung's site and on YouTube. The event is scheduled to start at 14:00 UTC. Foldables and watches incoming Samsung's middle of the year Galaxy Unpacked event is focused on the next generation of foldables, but also brings new smartwatches. This year, we're waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE from the foldable family and Galaxy Watch8, Watch8 Classic and Watch8 Ultra from the wearable family. Let's have a closer look at each. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 promises an 'Ultra' experience, though it won't be branded as such. The phone is expected to feature a 200MP main camera (similar to the S25 Ultra and Z Fold Special edition). However, the other cameras will be mostly the same – 10MP telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide. The two selfie cameras will be 10MP on the cover display and a 4MP under-display module inside. Samsung has teased AI features for the camera as AI remains a big part of the Galaxy identity. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 live photos With this generation, the focus is on slimming down the Z Fold – Samsung says it will be the thinnest and lightest horizontal foldable yet. It is yet to officially confirm the dimensions, but rumored info suggests 8.9mm folded and 4.2mm unfolded and 215g. We've heard numbers as low as 3.9mm unfolded, but this might be a question of which part is measured. For comparison, the Z Fold6 is 12.1mm and 5.6mm, weighing 239g, so this is a major redesign. Even the Z Fold Special edition is 10.6mm and 4.9mm. Note that the camera island is not included in these measurements. Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Fold7 side by side However, the slender build comes at a cost – the phone will have the same 4,400mAh battery capacity as its predecessor. The EU energy label has revealed that this would be enough for 40 hours and 28 minutes on a single charge, slightly longer than the S25 Edge. The battery will go at least 2,000 charge cycles before dropping to 80% of its original capacity. That label also showed that the Galaxy Z Fold7 will have an IP48 dust and water resistance rating, which is no longer the top spec for a foldable. It will have excellent drop resistance and average repairability. The chipset is no surprise – we've already seen the foldable run Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. We think that it will be equipped with 12GB of RAM and it will have three storage tiers: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Leaked prices show that the base model will be around €2,200 and the 512GB option around €2,300 – that's a €200 increase over the previous model. Of course, the pre-order perks will most likely include a free storage upgrade. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 colorways. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 will be available in three colors, Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow and Jet Black, plus several colors that will be exclusive to units sold through Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE Rising costs are a concern, so Samsung is expected to launch a cheaper flip foldable this year, which will borrow much of its design from last year's Z Flip6. The premium model will be the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7. It will have an edge-to-edge cover display, 4.1', compared to the 'folder'-shaped 3.4' display of its predecessor. It will be thinner too, measuring 13.7mm folded and 6.5mm unfolded with a weight of 188g. For comparison, the 2024 model measured 14.9mm and 6.9mm and weighed 187g. It's not as dramatic a change as with the Z Fold, but it is appreciated. Even better, the Z Flip7 will have a bigger battery – 4,300mAh, which is 300mAh more than the Z Flip6 and the FE. The FE model is likely to have the same dimensions as the Z Flip6. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE The Z Flip7 will be available in Jet Black, Blue Shadow and Coral Red (plus some exclusive colors), while the FE will have a more basic color palette of Black and White. You can see the renders above, which also showcase the difference in cover displays. The two models will also differ in processing power – we think that Samsung will put the brand new Exynos 2500 inside the premium Z Flip7, though a Snapdragon 8 Elite variant may be sold in North America and China. Meanwhile the Z Flip7 FE was benchmarked with the older Exynos 2400. The FE only had 8GB of RAM according to the benchmark results and will be offered with 128GB and 256GB storage. The premium Z Flip7 will have more RAM, 12GB, and storage, 256/512GB. Samsung will introduce the new One UI 8 (based on Android 16) with the new Z foldables. That said, Galaxy S25 units are already doing beta tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 carried a price of around €1,400/£1,200 for a 512GB unit, which is €100 more than a 512GB Z Flip6 was last year. As for the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, it will be KRW 1 million in Korea, which will likely translate to $800/€800/£700. Pre-order and release dates Samsung normally puts new models on pre-order right after the Unpacked event ends and waits two weeks before going into open sales. That means the Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE will be available for pre-order from July 9 and will be released on July 25 (the release is traditionally on a Friday). Samsung US is already running an early reservation campaign, which can net you a $50 coupon. We expect that the new watches will follow a similar launch schedule. More on the watches below. Galaxy tri-fold Samsung is expected to showcase a tri-fold smartphone at the Unpacked event this Wednesday, which is said to have a 6.49' cover and 9.96' main displays. However, this may have very limited availability – leaks suggest that it will be sold in only two countries, Korea and China, and only in very limited numbers at that. A prototype tri-fold screen from Samsung The tri-fold model appeared in the One UI 8 code, which indicates that it is a real product rather than just a prototype to show off at the event. Still, most people will likely have to wait until next year if they want a Galaxy tri-foldable. And considering the price hike for the Z Fold7, we think it's best if you don't ask how much this one will cost (not that we know). Samsung Galaxy Watch8, Watch8 Classic and Watch8 Ultra Samsung introduced a 'squircle' design for the original Galaxy Watch Ultra and now the whole Watch8 family is poised to adopt it. Here are renders of the three upcoming models: Galaxy Watch8, Watch8 Classic and Watch8 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy Watch8, Watch8 Classic and Watch8 Ultra As you can see from the renders, the Ultra has a rotating bezel (encircling a 1.5' screen) and a crown too. The vanilla Watch8 only has two buttons on the side. The Ultra model also has a crown, but we don't think that its bezel rotates. There will be no new smartwatch chipset this year, all three models are expected to use the Exynos W1000 from last year. The first two should be available in Bluetooth and 4G variants, while the Ultra is likely to forgo the base Bluetooth variant and be available only with 4G. A new OS version is coming to Samsung's wearables too, One UI 8 Watch. It will focus on health with things like bedtime guidance, vascular load and antioxidant features, plus an advanced running coach. One UI 8 Watch features The Galaxy Watch8 will have a slightly bigger battery compared to its predecessor, a minor 10mAh bump on the 44mm variant. The Watch8 and Watch8 Classic will support 10W charging, which is on par with previous models. By the way, someone was selling a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic prototype on eBay. It was a 46mm LTE model with 64GB storage – that's double what the Watch7 and Watch Ultra have. Stay tuned We will have detailed coverage of the Galaxy Unpacked event, so check back with us for all major developments in the Galaxy world.
