Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 live — all the last-minute leaks for the Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and more

Samsung's second big phone launch of the year is almost here — and while the leaks have given us lots of hints, we're here to untangle all of the official news on the its new foldables and smartwatches. And who knows, maybe Samsung will have a surprise in store too.

According to the rumors, it's going to be a particularly big day for foldables. We're expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Flip 8, , and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra all make their debuts — and the Z Fold 8 could also be a sneak peak of what to expect from the incoming iPhone Ultra.

But if you've been waiting for a sequel to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra or Galaxy Watch 8, it'll worth tuning in for those too. Both are expected to get successors today, when the event kicks off at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST on July 22.

So if you want to see what Samsung has in store today, join us for all of our live reactions and first impressions from inside the London event...

Welcome to Galaxy Unpacked 2026 (the sequel)

Hello, and welcome to our liveblog for Samsung's second big phone launch of the year, Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

We'll be reporting live from the London event, which kicks off at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST. But first, it's time to take you through all of the last-minute rumors on what we're expecting to see — and we certainly haven't been short of leaks...

The Z Fold 8 is winning the hype battle

The Galazy Z Fold 8 is emerging as the potential star of today's Unpacked event — and the foldable has just appeared in a new teaser poster (above).

It's the Z Fold 8's wider, passport-style design, which will likely separate it from the taller Fold 8 Ultra, that makes it the one I'm most interested in from today's launches. Partly because it also probably gives us an early peak of the iPhone Ultra's likely form factor.

We're expecting to see a 5.5-inch cover display and 7.6-inch inner display, both with a 120Hz refresh rate. The teaser poster matches some of the leaked dummy units that we saw earlier this year (below).

What are you most excited to see?

We've done a full rundown of everything we're expecting to see at Unpacked 2026, so that's worth a read as we get closer to kick-off (in just over two hours).

But the short version is that we're expecting three foldables (a Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8), plus two Galaxy Watches (the Watch Ultra 2 and Watch 9), and (potentially) also Samsung's first smart glasses.

Which one are you most excited about? Let us know in the poll below...
