According to industry insiders, on July 19, Samsung Electronics will hold the “Galaxy Unpacked 2026” event on July 22 at the Old Billingsgate Market in London.

Galaxy Unpacked 2026 Event Specifications
According to industry insiders, the Samsung Electronics Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event is scheduled for July 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. (local London time) at the Old Billingsgate Market in London. On-site live-stream channels include the Samsung Electronics Newsroom, Samsung.com, and YouTube.
The invitation letter uses the phrase “a brand-new form unfolded,” accompanied by a horizontal unfolding image. Based on this, industry observers predict Samsung is preparing to launch a wide-screen foldable phone with a 4:3 display aspect ratio. The three foldable models are positioned as follows: Fold 8 (wide-screen standard edition), Fold 8 Ultra (premium flagship version), and Flip 8 (vertical foldable version).
Specifications and Pricing for the Three Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Models
According to industry news, the key specifications and estimated pricing for the three models are as follows:
Galaxy Z Fold 8: External screen of about 5.5 inches and internal screen of 7.6 inches, with an unfolded display aspect ratio close to 4:3. It is expected to reduce screen cropping when browsing webpages and documents compared with the current Fold series. The 256GB version is priced at about $1,899 (about 2.83 million won). Industry estimates put initial panel production at about 2.8 million units
Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: The exterior design follows the existing Fold series. The main camera features a 200MP sensor, and the battery capacity is increased compared with the previous generation. Price is about $2,099 (about 3.13 million won). Panel production is about 2.0 million units
Galaxy Z Flip 8: Depending on sales region, it will feature either the Samsung Exynos 2600 (2nm GAA process) or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, Generation 5. Panel production is about 1.5 million units
All three models are planned to use “flexible titanium” display technology. The display will use titanium alloy thin films and titanium plates to support the screen, helping maintain display structural stability even after repeated unfolding and folding. This is expected to reduce screen creases and lower overall thickness.
Other Product Previews and Industry Assessments: Watch 9, Android Smart Glasses, and Supply Chain Impact
According to industry news, the Galaxy Watch 9 series smartwatches and AI health management features are expected to be released alongside this Unpacked 2026 event. The specs and launch plans for Android smart glasses co-developed by Samsung and Google may also be announced during the event (subject to official announcements).
In terms of the supply chain, if the Exynos 2600 expands its coverage for the Flip 8, it could drive growth in shipments for Samsung’s system LSI business and foundry services. Samsung Display is expected to supply foldable OLED panels. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is expected to supply camera module components, semiconductor packaging substrates, and multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC).
