Samsung sets July 22 Galaxy Unpacked for new foldable lineup

Samsung has confirmed that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on July 22, 2026, in London, with a livestream planned across Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and YouTube.

The company says the broadcast begins at 2 p.m. BST, 9 a.m. EDT, and 3 p.m. CEST. Its invitation carries the tagline, A new shape unfolds, and says it will unveil the newest additions to the Galaxy portfolio.

What Samsung confirmed

Samsung’s invitation turns weeks of foldable rumors into a scheduled launch event. The company has locked in the date, location, and viewing platforms, but it has not publicly named the devices that will appear.

That leaves the headline details official but limited: Samsung is promising a major Galaxy announcement in London on July 22, with livestream access for viewers around the world.

What reporting expects

The Verge reported that the invite suggests a new, wider foldable phone alongside refreshed Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold models. The report also said Samsung may rebrand the Fold line as Z Fold 8 Ultra to distinguish it from the new form factor.

The same reporting said new Galaxy Watch hardware is likely to appear at the event.

Why it matters

Galaxy Unpacked is Samsung’s key stage for its biggest mobile launches, especially foldables and wearables. This July event is a major checkpoint for the company’s second-half 2026 lineup and its position in the foldable market.

Samsung’s earlier 2025 Unpacked event introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup, giving the company a clear launch cadence heading into this year’s reveal.

What happens next

The next items to watch are Samsung’s full product announcement, any preorder details, pricing, and shipping timelines. If the company does introduce a new foldable category, July 22 would mark its most important hardware reveal of the summer.
