Samsung confirms July 9 Galaxy Unpacked event: What’s likely to launch

Samsung has officially announced the date and venue for its second Galaxy Unpacked event of 2025. The highly anticipated event will take place in New York on July 9, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM ET (7:30 PM IST). Tech enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly waiting to see what Samsung has in store, with major expectations centered on new foldable smartphones and advancements in AI-powered software.

What to Expect: New Foldable Smartphones

Samsung has already started teasing its upcoming devices on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter). The buzz is that the company will introduce two new foldable models — Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Both devices are expected to build upon their predecessors with sleeker designs, enhanced durability, and upgraded hardware.

Leaked sketches and teaser videos indicate that at least one of these models will feature an ultra-thin, book-style fold that combines design elements from the Galaxy S Ultra series, offering a thinner and more refined form factor.

There are also rumors of a possible Galaxy Z Fold Ultra, either as a separate premium model or as the official name for the standard Fold 7. This is part of speculation around Samsung possibly introducing a new naming strategy for its foldables.

Pre-Booking Now Open on Amazon and Flipkart

Samsung has partnered with major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon and Flipkart, to offer early reservation options for the new Galaxy devices. Dedicated landing pages have been launched, showcasing sketches of both a flip and foldable design — confirming that the upcoming models are indeed the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7.

How to Complete the Purchase

Expected Software and Ecosystem Updates

In addition to hardware launches, Samsung’s invitation hints at major updates to its software ecosystem. The company is set to unveil its latest Galaxy AI features and provide a first look at One UI 8, which will power future Galaxy devices. Fans can expect smarter AI tools, enhanced customization options, and better integration across the Galaxy ecosystem.

These updates could include features similar to those introduced at last year’s launch, such as live translation, intelligent photo editing, and on-device AI assistance.

Galaxy Watch 8 Series and More

Reports suggest that Samsung may also use this event to introduce its next-generation smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 8 series is expected to debut, with models like the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and a refreshed Galaxy Watch Ultra on the cards.

In addition, tech watchers are hoping for more details on Samsung’s Project Moohan — the company’s mixed-reality initiative that attracted attention at Google I/O 2025.
