Samsung’s July 22 Unpacked Poised to Reveal Two New Fold Shapes and a Z Flip 8

Leaks suggest the company is shifting its foldable strategy to offer distinct book‑style designs that could change buyer choices.

Overview

  • Samsung has set Galaxy Unpacked for July 22 in London and is taking reservations for the event.
  • Successive leaks and press renders point to two different book‑style Z Fold models plus a Z Flip 8, though the images and specs remain unconfirmed.
  • Leaked details claim a redesigned hinge that reduces crease visibility, larger batteries reported around 4,800–5,000mAh, and a faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
  • Reports say Samsung may rename the taller traditional Fold as a 'Fold 8 Ultra' and give the new passport‑shaped model the base Fold 8 name, a move that could confuse buyers and accessory compatibility.
  • An alleged in‑store photo posted on Reddit appears to show the three devices but could be of dummy units, and suppliers, accessory listings and regulatory filings suggest production readiness without confirming final specs or prices.
