Samsung will host its traditional Galaxy Unpacked event this Wednesday, July 22nd, in the city of London. The conference aims to present the South Korean company's innovations to the global market.
Although the manufacturer has hinted that the main focus will be on the new line of foldable smartphones, the event is also expected to introduce new smartwatches and enhanced artificial intelligence features.
The event coverage is being provided live by Tecnoblog, directly from England. The broadcast will begin at 10 am, according to Brasília time, and will be available on both the official Samsung portal and the company's YouTube channel.
Rumors suggest that one of the central launches will be the Galaxy Z Fold 8. This model is expected to feature the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 4,800 mAh battery, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. Furthermore, it should have a dual rear camera system of up to 50 MP and support for 45-watt fast charging.
Projections also include an unprecedented variant called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide. This device has already received certification from Anatel and was named so due to its 'passport'-style format, offering wider external screen proportions ideal for productivity and video viewing.
Continuing the foldable line, Samsung is expected to present the Galaxy Z Flip 8. This model should follow a more restrained update, preserving the predecessor's appearance and battery capacity, with modifications focused on replacing the processor and strengthening the internal hinge structure.
In the wearable device segment, the brand has prepared the launch of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. The main change in these watches lies in the implementation of the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor and the inclusion of new AI tools to function as advanced health monitoring assistants.
To complement the ecosystem, Samsung is expected to detail the first generation of Galaxy Glasses. These smart glasses, which were shown in May during Google I/O, are designed to compete with Meta's products. They operate under Android XR and use artificial intelligence with voice commands integrated into Google Gemini, eliminating the need for a screen projected directly into the user's eyes.
Samsung is preparing an unprecedented surprise for the Galaxy Unpacked event, which is scheduled to take place in London. There are indications that the company's next foldable phones may be presented as early as July 22nd, marking an important moment for the manufacturer's foldable device segment.
Analysts suggest that speculations point to a new design within the Galaxy Z Fold family, as well as possible innovations for the Galaxy Watch line. The official invitation released by Samsung carries the motto 'A new format unfolds,' which heightens expectations for changes in the Galaxy Z Fold line.
Among the most discussed rumors is the possibility of a device with shorter and wider dimensions, aiming to provide a more pleasant experience when watching movies and series. Furthermore, updates are expected for the already known Fold and Flip models.
The main expectations for the event include the launch of a Galaxy Z Flip 8, which would bring performance improvements and a redesign of the hinge. A Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a larger main screen is also expected. Additionally, there is the possibility of a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, serving as a more sophisticated version of the family.
Regarding the Fold line, if the rumors materialize, Samsung could present two book-style foldable devices simultaneously, something never before seen from the company. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 should feature an expanded internal screen, while the hypothetical Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra could incorporate a screen with less visible creases, an updated processor, three rear cameras, and faster charging.
There is some uncertainty about the distribution of these features; some theories indicate that the larger screen might be exclusive to the Ultra model, keeping the traditional Fold 8 with characteristics similar to the current generation. Despite the focus on foldables, Samsung may also use the event to renew other products, such as the Galaxy Watch 9, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and future Android XR glasses, although some of these announcements may be postponed until autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
Another relevant news item concerns the pre-order of the devices. The company has started advance reservations and will offer participants a credit of US$30 (equivalent to about R$165) for this action. Galaxy Unpacked will be broadcast live on July 22nd, starting from London, through Samsung's official channels.
Samsung announced that its next Unpacked event will take place on July 22 in London, United Kingdom. During this event, the company plans to present various innovative products, including new foldable smartphones and smartwatches.
Among the anticipated launches is the Fold Wide, a foldable device that would be in passport format. Furthermore, Samsung is expected to showcase updates for both the Flip and traditional Fold models, which might receive the name Ultra. The company also plans to introduce new models of watches from the Galaxy Watch line.
There are also speculations that Samsung may reveal the first generation of smart glasses, which would be developed based on artificial intelligence, aiming to compete in the market against Meta and Ray-Ban devices. The South Korean giant had already generated excitement among its followers through teasers suggesting a change in the screen format of the Galaxy Fold, as illustrated by a chocolate bar that became wider.
The announcement of the Unpacked date was made by the company on its social media channels. Although similar displays are currently found in devices such as the Google Pixel 10, available in the United States, and the Huawei Pura X Max, marketed in China, there is a high probability that Samsung will be the pioneer in bringing this technology to Brazil. The launch event will feature a live broadcast on the Samsung Brazil YouTube channel, starting at 10 am.
