European pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE have begun
All new devices went on pre-order after the event and that will continue for a couple of weeks. During the pre-order period, the phones get a free storage upgrade.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is super slim (8.9mm folded, 4.2mm unfolded) and light (215g, it weighs less than an S25 Ultra). You can check out our hands-on for a closer look and don't miss the camera samples that show off what the new 200MP camera can do.
The phone also has bigger displays – 6.5' cover and 8.0' main display (up from 6.3' and 7.6' on the Z Fold6). One thing that wasn't upgraded was the battery – you're still looking at a 4,400mAh cell. Samsung says that Z Fold buyers had other priorities, demanding a slimmer build, better cameras and larger displays.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 offers the best of both worlds – a slimmer design (13.7mm folded, 6.5mm unfolded vs. 14.9mm/6.9mm on the Z Flip6) and a bigger 4,300mAh battery. That's 300mAh more than the previous model and almost as big as the Fold battery.
This one has larger displays too, an edge-to-edge 4.1' cover display and a 6.9' inner one (vs. 3.4' and 6.7' on the 2024 model). However, all Z Flip7 models will be powered by the Exynos 2500 – at least it's the same for European and American models. Also, the cameras didn't get any real upgrades besides 10-bit HDR video support. Check out our Z Flip7 hands-on and camera samples for more info.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is the more affordable clamshell foldable – its MSRP is $200 less than the Z Flip6 was last year.
Anyway, you are essentially looking at the Galaxy Z Flip6 except with the old Exynos 2400 chipset replacing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. Also, memory was cut back to 8/128GB and 8/256GB configurations, but the free storage upgrade gets you the latter.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 is the slimmest in the family, measuring only 8.6mm, while getting a small bump in battery capacity. The squircle shape – or 'cushion design' as Samsung terms it – is said to be more comfortable to wear and more stable (this enables more reliable readings during exercise with a lot of movement).
The Watch8 has a 50% brighter display (now boosting to 3,000 nits), but it is powered by the same Exynos W1000 as last year's Watch7. Check out our Galaxy Watch8 series hands-on for a closer look at the Watch8 and Watch8 Classic.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic brings back the rotating bezel and introduces the Quick Button, similar to the Watch Ultra. This one is available only in 46mm size and comes with a relatively small 1.34' display.
There are no discounts yet, but the watches come with a free Duo Wireless Charger and an extra band (valued at £138 total) in the UK and a €150 cashback in Germany.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra didn't get a sequel, but Samsung refreshed the existing model with a new color, Titanium Blue, and it doubled the storage to 64GB (bringing it on par with the new Classic). Even with the $100 gift card, unless you need the extra storage for podcasts or something, you may want to go with the older Ultra – 32GB is still a lot of storage for a watch.

Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra camera details leak
Samsung's Galaxy S26 family launching in January will have three members but not the ones you'd expect - according to a leak from earlier today, these will be the S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra, with the Plus model being retired. Now another rumor indirectly confirms this by revealing the codenames for the upcoming devices, and there are only three of them: NPA1, NPA2, and NPA3. These stand for "next paradigm" or "new paradigm", as the S25 family's codenames were all "paradigm". Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge The S26 Ultra will allegedly have a 200 MP main camera (which could be using a new, big Sony sensor), and a 50 MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. The Galaxy S26 Edge is getting a 50 MP ultrawide, while the base model S26 may not receive any camera upgrades at all. All of this information is said to come from (unnamed) publicly accessible databases, which can clearly be linked with Samsung and its suppliers, so the source insists it's more reliable intel than your average leak or rumor. Whether that's true remains to be seen. Source (in German)

Another source confirms the rumor that there won't be aPlus. The new plan for Samsung is to release theEdge along with the vanilla and themodels.A new report based on Korean supply chain sources reiterates that Samsung might release only threemodels next year, if we don't count a potential Fan Edition device. Those would be the following models:The new report comes shortly after theseries was spotted in GSMA database listings. The leaked listings had only three model numbers, corresponding to the same trio of potential a move from Samsung wouldn't be exactly shocking. Thehad the same 6.7-inch display as the S25 Plus, but in a much thinner body. The obvious trade-offs are the loss of a camera on the back and the significantly smaller battery, which also charges more slowly. However, all that makes thestand out from the rest of the lineup, which might be Samsung's that rumor is true, Samsung will end up with three very distinct flagship offerings, potentially attracting more attention. On the other hand, everyone who wanted a bigger phone, but without the extra features of the Ultra, would have to choose either a device with a smaller battery or one with an even bigger screen and a higher Apple's experience is an indication for Samsung's business, the Plus models aren't smash hits. The iPhone 16 Plus was the lowest-selling of the iPhone 16 series, so this year it might be replaced by the iPhone 17 Air . I believe it's safe to assume that Samsung's numbers are similar, and the Galaxy S25 Plus was probably the lowest-selling model of the with that in mind, I'd take these rumors with a grain of salt. We've heard that the Plus model would be discontinued many times before, but it always comes back. Besides, thedoesn't seem to sell particularly well either, so the age of the super-slim flagship might need to wait longer.

There won't be a Samsung Galaxy S26+, new report claims
This year Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in January and then the S25 Edge in May. Next year, the family (if we disregard the FE model) will only be made up of three members, according to a new report from Samsung's home of South Korea. So, expect to see the 6.27-inch Galaxy S26, the 6.66-inch Galaxy S26 Edge, and the 6.89-inch Galaxy S26 Ultra. That's right, there won't be a Galaxy S26+, that is, of course, if this report proves to be accurate. We can't say we're very surprised. After all, the Galaxy S25 Edge has the same screen size as the S25+, but it's thinner (with all the compromises arising from that - primarily we're talking one less camera and a far smaller battery). And with Apple long rumored to replace the iPhone 16 Plus with the iPhone 17 Air, Samsung is just following along. We assume that the Plus model of the Galaxy S series has been the lowest-selling one by far (it's the same case for Apple), and so letting it go makes sense, especially as the Edge will actually cater to those who specifically want the in-between screen size. For those who want the biggest screen and the most features, there's always the Ultra, and of course it helps Samsung's bottom line that it's the most expensive of the line - and that the Edge is more expensive than the Plus. Average selling price for the line will definitely go up, even if only by a little. The flip side is that those who really liked what the Plus had to offer and didn't need the extra bells and whistles of the Ultra will now have two flawed options to pick from: the Edge with the same size but slightly more expensive and with a smaller battery and presumably still one less camera, or the Ultra that's much more expensive, and bigger, and heavier.
