Samsung Confirms July 22 Unpacked as Leaks Reveal Near‑Final Foldables and Watches

Leaked images, specs, pricing sharpen expectations for two‑tier Fold models, pricier entry points, AI‑driven Galaxy Watch upgrades.

Overview

  • Samsung has scheduled Galaxy Unpacked for July 22 in London and will livestream the keynote, and the company has opened reservation programs including refundable pre‑reservations in India.
  • Multiple recent leaks and a South Korean store sighting have circulated press renders and family photos that appear to show three foldables likely to be announced: a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, a higher‑end Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and a slimmer Galaxy Z Flip 8.
  • Unconfirmed but widely reported specifications suggest the Fold 8 Ultra could use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite (for Galaxy), offer a brighter anti‑reflective inner display and a larger ~5,000 mAh battery, while the Flip 8 is said to be notably slimmer and lighter at about 180 grams.
  • Leaked regional price lists indicate higher starting tags for the line with the Fold 8 around €1,999, the Fold 8 Ultra near €2,199 (about $2,099 in US leaks), and the Flip 8 near €1,299, with analysts pointing to memory supply pressure as a likely driver of those increases.
  • Samsung has officially teased an AI‑focused 'Health Companion' Galaxy Watch and leaks claim the new watches will switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite with a much larger Ultra 2 battery (~800 mAh), which would extend continuous health tracking and enable on‑device AI features.
