Technology circles are awaiting the “Galaxy Unpacked 2026” event, which Samsung is preparing to organize on July 22 in the British capital, London, amid expectations of the unveiling of a group of new devices, including foldable phones, smart watches, as well as the company’s first smart glasses, with a clear focus on artificial intelligence technologies.
The event is scheduled to start on Wednesday, July 22, at 3:00 PM CEST, corresponding to 4:00 PM Saudi time, and will be broadcast live on Samsung’s official platforms.
Foldable phones with new updates
It is expected that foldable phones will top the list of Samsung announcements, led by the Galaxy Z Flip 8, which will maintain its vertical folding design, with improvements that include a more advanced internal screen, reducing the effect of folding in the middle of the screen, along with stronger performance and longer battery life.
The leaks indicate that the phone may work with an Exynos 2600 processor in a number of markets, while the versions designated for the United States may get a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, in addition to improvements in cameras and the user experience compared to the previous version.
The company is also expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 with an updated design and a larger internal screen that gives the user an experience closer to tablets when opening the phone.
Expectations also talk about the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which targets users looking for the highest specifications, with a larger screen, an advanced imaging system, a higher capacity battery, as well as a larger memory and a more powerful processor.
New smart watches
Samsung’s announcements are not limited to phones, as it is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, with improvements in performance and battery life, in addition to more advanced health and sports features, supported by expanded artificial intelligence capabilities.
The first smart glasses from Samsung
One of the most anticipated announcements is Samsung’s potential entry into the smart glasses market by launching Galaxy Glasses, which are expected to run on the Android XR platform, with the integration of Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence assistant.
Circulating information indicates that the glasses will include a built-in camera and speakers, with a light design suitable for daily use, in a move aimed at competing with major companies in the wearable devices sector.
Artificial intelligence is at the heart of the system
It is expected that artificial intelligence will be the common denominator between all new devices, as Samsung seeks to expand its integration into phones, watches, and glasses, providing a more integrated and intelligent user experience.
This trend reflects the company’s strategy aimed at building an interconnected system of smart devices, making artificial intelligence technologies an essential part of daily use and enhancing its ability to compete in the global technology market.
