Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is likely just around the corner, as the tech giant historically unveils foldable phones in July or August. We expect a whole range of products – from phones to smart rings – to be unveiled.
Artificial intelligence will definitely be a part of this summer’s Unpacked, which will likely showcase new smart tools for foldable phones and AI-based fitness features.
So without much further preamble, here are five key things we expect from Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in July.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Firstly, we will definitely see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Expect it to be a minor update over its predecessor, with an upgraded chip – likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – and possibly a few design tweaks. But don’t expect drastic changes.
More power should underpin all the built-in AI tools, say live translation, and the Genative Edit tools we’ve seen in the Galaxy S24 series, only extended to foldable phones.
There isn’t much talk in the rumor mill about camera upgrades, so we expect the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s camera suite to remain similar in spec to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. But software improvements are very likely, and we hope the foldables from Samsung will help us list of best camera phones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
The more interesting foldable phone at Unpacked would have to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, which is expected to have more significant upgrades than its bookish foldable sibling.
Get ready for a 50-megapixel main camera, a larger battery that tops out at a potential 4,000mAh, 25W charging, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a new range of colors, and possibly a less visible crease in the display.
As with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, we can expect AI to play a role in the next generation of Flip, with smart tools to help people use the flip screen format better.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
We should also see a new Galaxy Watch, with the seventh iteration likely bringing improved battery life, more power, better charging and outdoor activity features.
This Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 could also come in Pro and Classic versions, which we expect to have a rotating bezel. There are also rumors of a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, which will be a premium version of the Watch 7, which could possibly come with a micro-LED display, more power and a larger battery. Additionally, it may include advanced fitness and wellness tracking functionality, which is likely limited to the Ultra model only.
Samsung Galaxy ring
Probably Unpacked’s most exciting product, the Galaxy Ring is Samsung’s first smart ring and promises to have a slew of fitness and wellness tracking features, all hidden in a nice-looking ring that comes in a variety of finishes.
The Galaxy Ring’s key features include its ability to track continuous heart rate during sleep, sleep latency, breathing rate, and nighttime movements, which are four metrics that the current Galaxy Watch 6 doesn’t track. These metrics will use sleep metrics to create a ‘Vitality’ score and provide sleep apnea detection, but we expect they will also fuel other wellness and fitness assessments.
Samsung hasn’t said much about the Galaxy Ring’s other features, but I expect the secret sauce will be tight integration with Samsung Health and the Galaxy ecosystem.
Lots of AI
Finally, you can expect more AI with Unpacked. As Apple looks to apply Intelligence AI to all kinds of devices, expect Samsung to do the same, all under the Galaxy AI umbrella.
I see Samsung championing AI features for its foldable phones, but also showing off smarter tools and features for its smartwatches, for example customized AI workouts. As mentioned, I’m sure AI will play a role in getting the most out of the Galaxy Ring.
I’d also expect Samsung to introduce some more Galaxy AI features across multiple devices and also set out a roadmap for where its AI technology could go; this could give us an idea of what we can broadly expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25.
