Samsung held its first Unpacked event of the year in January to unveil the Galaxy S25 series. However, the Korean OEM is also gearing up to hold its second 2025 Unpacked event sometime next month, focusing on its next-generation foldable phones and a new pair of Galaxy Watch wearables.
Samsung might also give us a detailed look into the upcoming Project Moohan XR Headset and a rumored tri-folding smartphone that might launch later in the year or early 2026. One UI 8 is another topic Samsung might discuss at the event.
Here's everything we expect Samsung to unveil at next month's Unpacked event.
When the event kicks off
To date, there have been conflicting rumors about when the Unpacked event will start. However, the latest hint comes from renowned tipster Evan Blass, who says the second 2025 Unpacked event begins on July 9, 10 AM EDT.
Samsung has yet to confirm the alleged date, but it aligns with the company's unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 on July 10 last year.
New foldables are down the road
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will take the stage at the upcoming Unpacked event. Both phones will offer upgrades compared to their predecessors, but the overall design is expected to remain relatively the same. Some sources have claimed Z Fold 7 would be Samsung's thinnest foldable ever, presumably 4.5mm thick when fully unfolded. Also, Z Fold 7 might get a bigger screen at 6.5 and 8.2-inch. Samsung might also switch to a 200MP camera in the lineup.
Other rumored specs for Samsung's next-gen foldable include Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 4,400 mAh battery, and One UI 8 out of the box. Meanwhile, there are also some swirling rumors about a so-called Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition) in the pipeline. The device could be a stripped-down version of Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 with lower hardware specs and a cheaper price tag.
A new pair of smartwatches
Samsung will also reveal the Galaxy Watch 8 and a Classic variant at July's Unpacked event. As for design, we don't expect a radical makeover for the Galaxy Watch 8, but the Classic model could take most of its cues from Samsung's Galaxy Ultra watch models. Also, the Watch 8 Classic could bring back the rotating bezel on top.
Both watches will come with One UI 8 Watch out of the box and Gemini AI to replace the Assistant. Gemini could help with health features and keep track of users' physical activities. Samsung was also rumored to be working on Blood glucose monitoring for next-gen smartwatches, and it might finally make its debut at the upcoming Unpacked event.
More details about July's Unpacked event will surface in the days leading up to it. You can watch the live stream of the event through Samsung's website or the company's YouTube channel.
