Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 LIVE — Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, Watch 9, smart glasses and more
Things are changing this year
The Summer Unpacked event usually features two new foldable phones: A book-style Z Fold and the compact Z Flip. Things are a little different this year, because Samsung is expected to reveal three new Galaxy foldables at today’s event.
This year marks the debut of a new foldable design, which is shorter and wider than previous Z Fold devices. While this was originally referred to as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide, leaks suggest that the new phone will actually bear the name Galaxy Z Fold 8. Meanwhile what we thought was the Z Fold 8, is now supposedly called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — bringing Samsung’s naming conventions a little more in line with the fold-free Galaxy S series.
As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, that’s expected to arrive as normal with no real surprises.
