What to expect from the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Event 2026

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (for representation)

Samsung hasn’t revealed the list of devices it will be unveiling at its upcoming event, but shared subtle hints of a new foldable expected, alongside the expected Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and next-gen Galaxy Watch. The chaebol has also confirmed the introduction of a new Flex Titanium Technology display, which is said to be more durable than ever before and offer a crease-less experience.

The display incorporates a titanium-alloy film that, according to Samsung, is around 20 per cent stiffer than conventional polymer films. Despite being just 30 per cent as thick as a human hair, the film is said to improve the panel’s durability without adding bulk. The new display technology also enhances viewing experience and makes it more power-efficient.

Apart from the new display, the handsets are also expected to come with improved performance, a larger battery, faster 45W wired charging speeds, and 25W wireless charging capabilities. It could also come with the latest Android 17-based One UI 9 out of the box.

Expected specifications

Exynos 2600/ Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite SoC
12GB RAM + up to 1TB storage
6.9-inch main display and 4.1-inch cover display (Z Flip8)
7.6-inch main display and 5.5-inch cover display (Z Fold8)
50MP rear cameras
10MP front camera

Unfortunately, there isn’t much we know about the form factor of the new foldable in the lineup. However, teasers suggest it could feature a slightly smaller design than Samsung’s conventional book-style foldables. This may appeal to buyers who want the benefits of a large-screen foldable but not the tall form factor. The handset should be more pocketable than the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Samsung has also announced a collaboration between its upcoming foldables and the forthcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As part of the announcement, the company shared a teaser video offering brief glimpses of what appear to be the next-generation Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy Z Fold8. If the visuals are anything to go by, both foldables are expected to retain designs similar to their predecessors. The Galaxy Z Flip8 appears to feature a dual rear camera setup, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 is likely to continue with a triple rear camera system.

Other than the smartphones, Samsung is also expected to launch its latest smartwatches, speculated to be the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2.

There is no word on the next-gen Samsung Galaxy foldables and smartwatches’ price at the moment.
