Samsung Schedules Galaxy Unpacked for July 9
Samsung has officially announced the date for its next Galaxy Unpacked event: mark your calendars for July 9, 2025. The teaser, which reads “Ultra Unfolds,” has sparked anticipation for their new Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip models, along with updates to the Galaxy Watch lineup.
Taking place at 10 AM ET (7 AM PT / 3 PM BST), this event will be streamed live. If you want the inside scoop, TechRadar will be reporting from Brooklyn, New York, breaking down everything Samsung reveals.
A Return to New York
After showcasing devices in Paris and Seoul in previous years, Samsung is returning to New York for this foldable-focused Unpacked event. Over the last few mid-year events, Samsung has concentrated on foldables and wearables, and the latest promotional materials suggest a colorful approach. The animated teaser features a jazzy rendition of Samsung’s classic ringtone, with a striking visual of a thin line that expands into two devices.
The top device looks like it could be the Galaxy Z Flip 7, while the lower device appears to be unfolding, resembling the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Color Speculation and Pre-Orders
The promotional materials don’t just hint at new devices; they also suggest a fresh color palette, potentially featuring shades of blue for the upcoming Flip and Fold models. Historically, these invitations have matched or teased colors of new devices, so fans are eager for an exciting announcement.
In keeping with their typical strategy, Samsung has opened up pre-reservations for their “latest Galaxy device,” offering a $50 credit for registering interest. There’s no purchase commitment involved, making it a great opportunity if you’re eyeing a new Flip or Fold.
What to Expect at the Unpacked Event
In recent blog posts leading up to the event, Samsung has hinted that the next devices will represent “the next chapter of Ultra.” This raises speculation that one or both of the new Galaxy Z devices might feature an Ultra designation. The animated invitation concludes with the phrase “Ultra Unfolds,” and many believe it may refer to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra.
Both the Flip and Fold will be entering their seventh iterations, which typically means more than just minor updates. Reports suggest meaningful enhancements, especially for the folding star of the show, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Expected improvements include a thinner profile, a larger internal display around 8 inches, and possibly a powerful 200-megapixel main camera inspired by the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Updates and Upgrades
While we anticipate significant upgrades for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might not see as many changes, particularly in terms of camera specs. However, new software updates could enhance the use of the existing 50-megapixel and 12-megapixel cameras.
On the other hand, we expect a larger 6.8-inch internal display for the Flip 7 and a new 4-inch cover display, making it more functional compared to its predecessor.
Wearables in the Spotlight
Samsung won’t stop at foldables; their Unpacked event in July is also expected to introduce new wearables. While we may see the Galaxy Watch 8 potentially upgraded with enhancements like a better display and new health features, rumors of a new Galaxy Ring or a second Ultra iteration may not come to fruition just yet.
Plus, there’s buzz that the Galaxy Watch Classic, with its iconic movable bezel, could make a comeback, as a prototype recently surfaced online.
Get Ready for Excitement
Whether you’re eagerly anticipating a new foldable device or a stylish wearable, Samsung’s July 9 event promises to deliver exciting news. TechRadar will be on hand with live updates and analyses, making it easy for you to catch every moment. This will be the third Galaxy Unpacked of 2025, and it looks set to be a memorable one.
