Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026: What to Expect
It’s not long now until Samsung’s second major phone launch of the year. The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Unpacked showcase is set to take place later today, and tech enthusiasts are eager to see what innovations the company has in store. This event follows the February Unpacked event where the Samsung Galaxy S26 series was unveiled. However, this upcoming showcase promises more than just new smartphones. In addition to a selection of foldables—including an entirely new form factor—Samsung is also expected to unveil new smartwatches and possibly the innovative Samsung Galaxy Glasses.
Whether you’re in the market for a new smartphone or a wearable gadget, today’s event presents a wealth of possibilities. Below, you will find complete details on how to tune in, along with insights into what we can anticipate seeing during the Unpacked event.
How to Watch the Event
The next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is being held in London, but as with most significant tech launches, it will be streamed online. This means you can watch it from virtually anywhere. The event will kick off at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT / 2 PM BST / 11 PM AEST on July 22. While it’s not at an inconvenient time for everyone, those on the West Coast of the US may need to rise early, and viewers in some parts of Australia might need to stay up late.
To tune in, you can visit Samsung’s official website for the live stream, which will also be available on Samsung’s YouTube page. Additionally, the video embedded on this page will play the stream once it goes live. If you can’t make it to the live event, don’t worry; you can watch the video later.

What to Expect at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026
As we gear up for Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026, a broad range of devices is expected. On the phone side, we are likely to see an array of foldables, notably the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are anticipated to be fairly conventional successors to the Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, respectively. Expect improvements such as new chipsets, smaller creases, and perhaps enhanced camera systems, although nothing overly revolutionary is anticipated.
The more intriguing device might be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is rumored to bring a new form factor, making it wider and shorter compared to its predecessor. This change could also lead to a more budget-friendly option for consumers.
In addition to smartphones, new wearables are anticipated, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. The latter is particularly exciting, potentially featuring a high-capacity 800mAh battery and, for the first time, support for 5G connectivity on a Galaxy Watch.
Moreover, Samsung could take this opportunity to introduce smart glasses—potentially called Samsung Galaxy Glasses. These innovative screenless glasses may run on Android XR and offer features like communication via the Gemini AI, aiming to compete with popular alternatives like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
