Samsung has now officially unveiled its new foldable and wearable line-up at its Galaxy Unpacked event, held in London on 22 July 2026, confirming the leaks that preceded the show. The headline reveal is the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which adopts a completely redesigned, shorter and wider form factor than its predecessor, alongside a new higher-end "Ultra" Fold model noted for its barely visible crease and an updated Galaxy Z Flip 8 with new cover-screen features. Samsung also refreshed its smartwatch range and, together with Google, unveiled new smart glasses designs, rounding out a broad hardware refresh rather than a radical overhaul.

The Z Flip 8 is thinner and lighter than before, with a 6.9-inch inner AMOLED display, a 4.1-inch cover screen capable of running full apps, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 4,300mAh battery. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 now costs $699.99 ($50 more than before) but gains an 800mAh battery, a 35% increase, and a case that is 12% thinner at 10.7mm, while a new Galaxy Watch 9 arrives with an upgraded chip. Samsung and Google also showed off two additional smart glasses designs, made with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, offering roughly nine hours of battery life ahead of a planned autumn launch; all the new phones and watches are set to go on sale from 7 August 2026.
