Indian viewers can tune in at 7:30 PM IST via Samsung India’s YouTube or social media channels.
New Foldable Smartphones
The spotlight will be on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Leaks suggest the Z Fold 7 will be Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet, measuring 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded, rivaling the Oppo Find N5. It may feature a 200MP primary camera and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The Z Flip 7 is expected to sport a 4.1-inch outer display, 6.9-inch inner panel with 2600 nits brightness, and an Exynos 2500 processor. A budget-friendly Z Flip 7 FE, priced around $799 (approx. ₹64,000), might also debut.
Galaxy Watch 8 Series
The Galaxy Watch 8 lineup, including the standard Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025), will likely launch with significant upgrades. The Classic model may feature a Premium Hybrid Strap, blending leather and rubber, while the Ultra retains its rugged Extreme Sport Bracelet. Enhanced health features and a squircle design are anticipated.
Potential Tri-Fold Phone Teaser
Rumors hint at a teaser for a tri-foldable phone, possibly the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra. While a full announcement is unlikely, Samsung may showcase its innovation in foldable technology, building on its “Ultra Unfolds” teaser.
One UI 8 and Galaxy AI Enhancements
The Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected to run One UI 8, based on Android 16, out of the box. Samsung may announce the One UI 8 beta rollout for eligible devices during the event. Galaxy AI is set to redefine user interaction, with features like proactive understanding integrated into the new hardware.
Galaxy Experience Spaces and Pre-Order Benefits
Post-event, Samsung will host Galaxy Experience Spaces in NYC (500 Broadway, Soho, July 9–August 9), London, Paris, and Dubai for hands-on interaction with new devices. No registration is required, and giveaways are planned. Pre-order reservations on Samsung’s website or Shop Samsung app offer a $50 credit without commitment. Pre-orders start July 9, with deliveries expected by July 25.
Market Context and Expectations
Despite Samsung’s foldable market share dropping from 54% to 45%, the company aims to counter high prices and limited content with thinner designs and AI-driven features. Analysts suggest the foldable market may plateau in 2025 due to consumer demand constraints, making this event critical for Samsung’s innovation push.
