Samsung is heading back to London for its next Galaxy Unpacked event, and this time the spotlight is squarely on foldables. The company has sent out formal invites for a July 22 show built around the tagline “A New Shape Unfolds,” a clear signal that new additions to the Galaxy Z lineup are the main event. If you want to watch the announcement as it happens, here’s everything you need to know.

When and where to watch

Galaxy Unpacked takes place on July 22 in London. Samsung will stream the event live on Samsung.com, on Samsung Newsroom, and on its official YouTube channel, so you have several options depending on where you already spend your time online.

The show kicks off at 2 PM BST. That works out to 9 AM EDT for viewers on the East Coast, 6 AM PDT for those on the West Coast, and 3 PM CEST for those tuning in from continental Europe. Samsung is also encouraging early sign-ups through its registration page at samsung.com/unpacked, which will unlock “exclusive benefits, upcoming teasers, trailers and updates” ahead of the event.

What Samsung is teasing

The invite itself is light on specifics, as these usually are. Samsung has subtly pointed toward foldable hardware paired with “more personal and adaptive” Galaxy AI experiences, without naming a single device. Given the timing and recent leaks, the event is expected to center on the next generation of Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series. A new wider, pocket-friendly foldable is also rumored to join the ranks this year, though Samsung has not confirmed any model names yet.

Budget smartphones are getting squeezed, and AI is one reason why
Analysts warn shipments of phones under $400 could drop by more than 22% this year.

For years, smartphone buyers have had it pretty good. Even budget phones now offer fast processors, high-refresh-rate displays, and cameras that would've seemed flagship-worthy just a few years ago. But that trend may be about to slow down, and AI is playing a big role.

According to a new report from Omdia, global shipments of smartphones priced below $400 are expected to decline by more than 22% in 2026, largely because the cost of DRAM and NAND memory continues to rise. As AI features demand more memory across the industry, manufacturers are finding it increasingly difficult to build capable budget phones without sacrificing their already razor-thin margins.
