If you follow the news about new Samsung products, you’re probably waking up each morning to see brand-new leaks, rumors, and hints at the company’s upcoming products.
The list of the best Samsung phones doesn’t stay still for long, and as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and its ilk came out, leaks turned their attention to upcoming devices from the brand.
These rumors have been coming so thick and fast that it’s hard even for reporters like me to keep up — fans like you must have an incredibly hard time.
So to make things easier for you, let’s take a whip-around look at all the products Samsung’s expected to release this year, including phones as well as other mobile gadgets.
These are all ones that have been leaked, and if a launch is likely but hasn’t been mentioned yet, you won’t hear a wink from me.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, Z Wide?
A trio of folding phones
The biggest upcoming Samsung launches that’ll have fans flip out are its foldables. We’re expecting a trio to emerge, with a new model joining the regular duo.
Say hello to the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.
First up, the flipper. Leaks suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will be thinner than the Flip 7, and could hide the hinge better, but it’s seen less attention from tipsters than the other two foldables.
Next, the book-style foldable. We’ve heard rumors that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could be lighter than before, and could bring back the S Pen stylus, but otherwise it sounds like a regular spec update on the Z Fold 7.
Joining the fray is a device which some Android Police writers claim would be the first foldable they’d actually buy: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide (though some leaks disagree on the name).
The Z Fold 8 Wide looks set to be a book-style foldable, but with a wider aspect ratio when unfolded than the non-wide model. This change would let the resulting device act more akin to a tablet, in display size and aspect ratio.
Beyond the design, it sounds like the foldable will have specs similar to the “standard” Z Fold 8.
It’s looking likely that these phones will all land around July, in the slot Samsung annually reserves for its foldables.
Samsung Galaxy S26 FE
A mid-range Android phone
Given Samsung’s commitment to annual phone launches, we wouldn’t need any Galaxy S26 FE leaks to know that the brand was planning a mid-range spin on its early-2026 flagships.
Saying that, Samsung accidentally leaked the phone, so a release looks all but certain.
The leak didn’t provide that many details about the phone, but suggested it’ll use the Exynos 2500 chip and run Android 17, with the same 8GB RAM as last year’s model.
Based on precedent, don’t expect a release that soon. While the foldables will likely come out mid-year, we’re expecting the Fan Edition phone to arrive later in the year, possibly around September.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 9, Watch 9 Classic & Watch Ultra 2
Some wristorative health features
Another trio: a leak points to there being three Galaxy Watch 9 models, and we’re expecting to see them all arrive (or, at least, some combination of them) in late July.
First up is the standard Galaxy Watch 9, and a more “traditional-looking” version called the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, which would both follow the precedent set by the Galaxy Watch 8 and co.
Rumors are slim on the ground for these devices, beyond pointing to their existence, but Samsung itself hinted at them when announcing the new Samsung Health features in early June.
Then there’s a premium model, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and we’ve heard this could get 5G connectivity to keep you online when you’re out and about.
In a curious turn of events, Samsung is said to be selling a non-5G model too, which would potentially offer a more affordable Ultra handset.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Able
Clip-style open earbuds
According to a plethora of leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro might not be the company’s only attention-grabbing earbuds of the year.
I’ve already written about how the Galaxy Buds Able could be the brand’s best headphones yet, and a mid-2026 release is looking increasingly likely for them.
These are set to be clip-style open earbuds which hook onto your ear without blocking the canal — this form factor lets you hear your surroundings, while also providing a rigid in-ear grip.
Plenty of other tech brands have released clip-style earbuds. Shokz and Bose are the big names, but Motorola, TCL, Soundcore, Huawei, Ugreen, Xiaomi, Honor, Ugreen, and many more all have offerings.
Samsung never released a sports-hook-style open earbud, like many of those brands did, so it’d be playing catch-up compared to rivals.
What else?
We expect more from Samsung
There are a few other gadget releases that Samsung could grace us with this year, ranging in likelihood and timeline, that we haven’t heard anything about.
Firstly, new Samsung Galaxy A-series phones are possible. We’ve already seen the A17, A37, and A57, but an A27 and A07 are possible too.
Secondly, a new finger wearable could be on its way, but we’re hearing a Galaxy Ring 2 might come next year rather than in 2026.
Then, there are the tablets. It’s high time we saw the Galaxy Tab S12 series, but leakers have been incredibly quiet on the matter so far. So perhaps they’re due for a 2027 release too.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S26. What do you mean, it already came out? No, I’m not talking released. I mean added to Samsung’s Refurbished scheme.
This might happen in early 2027, instead of in 2026, but again, it’s an important event for money-conscious buyers — unless Samsung mimics the Galaxy S Fold 7 in making its refurbished model more expensive than a new one.
