Samsung’s annual Galaxy Unpacked event returns on July 9th, 2025, in Brooklyn, and expectations are sky-high. From refined foldables to powerful AI features and a few surprise reveals, this year’s showcase is shaping up to be one of Samsung’s most ambitious yet.
If you’re considering an upgrade or just curious about where mobile tech is headed, here’s a breakdown of the devices and innovations Samsung is expected to unveil — and why it matters.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 – The Flagship Fold Gets Even Smarter
Samsung is expected to introduce a significantly redesigned Galaxy Z Fold 7, possibly with an “Ultra” variant. The key improvements? A thinner design, larger internal display, and enhanced AI features built directly into the experience.
What we’re hearing:
- Sleeker form factor – slimmer when folded, more comfortable to carry.
- Expanded inner screen – likely growing to 8.2 inches for better productivity.
- Camera upgrades, including a potential 200MP main sensor (borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra).
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos 2500 chip, depending on the region.
- Deeper Galaxy AI integration with tools for real-time summarization, live translation, and photo editing.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 – A Stylish Update to a Fan Favourite
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to receive thoughtful refinements rather than a complete overhaul. Expect:
- Larger cover display (around 4 inches), offering more functionality without unfolding.
- New colours including Blue, Coral, and Black.
- Performance upgrade via the new Exynos 2500 processor.
- AI capabilities such as enhanced voice dictation, photo clean-up, and contextual suggestions.
It’s shaping up to be a smarter, more refined version of one of Samsung’s best-selling foldables.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE – Making Foldables More Accessible
For the first time, Samsung may introduce a Foldable Fan Edition (FE) the Z Flip 7 FE targeted at budget-conscious consumers.
Expected features include:
- A slightly smaller and simpler display setup.
- Mid-tier processor (possibly last year’s Exynos chip).
- 8GB RAM and 128GB storage base model.
This could be Samsung’s move to bring foldable phones to the mainstream at a more affordable price point and it’s one worth watching.
Galaxy Watch 8 Series – Fitness, Wellness, and Beyond
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 series is also expected to make an appearance. Early reports suggest:
- A more efficient Exynos W1000 chipset.
- Improved battery life and performance.
- Tighter integration with Galaxy AI for wellness tracking, sleep coaching, and personalised health insights.
- A potential “Watch Ultra” with rugged design and pro-grade sensors.
This is part of Samsung’s continued investment in its wearable ecosystem and the AI-driven features might finally set it apart.
Galaxy Buds Core – New Budget Option for Wireless Audio
While information remains limited, Samsung may also introduce the Galaxy Buds Core a more affordable pair of wireless earbuds designed for everyday use. We’re expecting:
- Clean audio experience.
- Long battery life.
- Possibly no Active Noise Cancellation to keep costs down.
Project Moohan – Samsung’s XR Future on Display?
Samsung is rumoured to tease Project Moohan, its mixed-reality headset co-developed with Google and Qualcomm (the Android platform’s response to Apple’s Vision Pro). While it may not launch at this event, we might see a sneak peek or developer-focused preview.
With Apple’s Vision Pro already in the wild, Samsung will likely want to plant its flag in the AR/VR space soon.
One UI 8 and Galaxy AI: The Software That Ties It All Together
This year’s event isn’t just about hardware. Samsung is set to unveil One UI 8, based on Android 16, with Galaxy AI at its core. Expect:
- Smarter multitasking on foldables.
- Live translations, note summaries, and voice command enhancements.
- On-device AI that helps with productivity, creativity, and personalisation without needing a constant cloud connection.
Samsung’s goal is clear: make AI feel like a natural part of your everyday mobile experience.
A Major Evolution, Not Just an Upgrade
Samsung’s July 2025 Unpacked event feels less like a product refresh and more like a redefinition of its mobile future. Foldables are getting slimmer and smarter. Wearables are becoming more capable. And Galaxy AI is emerging as the software glue that ties it all together.
