Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 launch date leaks

Samsung’s next bundle of foldable devices may have just gotten a launch date.

A new report by the Korea Economic Times (via 9to5google) claims that Samsung will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22.

Galaxy Unpacked is Samsung’s regular series of product announcement livestreams, usually devoted to flagship mobile devices. There’s usually a Galaxy Unpacked event early in the year and another in the summer; the early one happened in February, and now it seems the later one will happen near the end of July, if this report is correct.

As for which devices will make their debut in July, expect a lot of foldables.

Korea Economic Times reports that Samsung will launch a follow-up to last year’s excellent Galaxy Z Fold 7 (most likely called Galaxy Z Fold 8), as well as a new, persistently rumored “Wide Fold” that could compete with the still-unannounced iPhone Fold. While this report didn’t mention the Z Flip line, it would be a major surprise if the company doesn’t release a Galazy Z Flip 8, too. Samsung has also launched Galaxy Watch models during summer Unpacked events, so keep an eye out for those, too.

One other potentially interesting nugget: Samsung will apparently showcase S Pen support for at least one of these new devices, though it’s not entirely clear which one, based on the report. It would obviously make sense for the Wide Fold, given the theoretically larger size of the inner display, but we’ll have to wait and see.

While the tech world waits with bated breath for the iPhone Fold, it’s worth noting that Samsung’s foldables have become truly high-quality devices in recent years. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, in particular, is still probably the best foldable you can buy right now, in part thanks to its impressively thin form factor. Hopefully, Samsung can keep up that momentum in 2026 for Android users.
