What to expect at Galaxy Unpacked 2026
Happening in two weeks, the Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to introduce a refreshed lineup of foldables, smartwatches and potentially a new smart glasses.
The biggest redesign is expected to come with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is expected to adopt a wider, passport-like form factor. Compared to previous Galaxy Z Fold models, the wider cover display should make the phone easier to hold and type on when folded, while also providing a display that’s better optimised for widescreen video playback and multitasking when unfolded.
If you prefer the traditional Galaxy Z Fold, Samsung is also expected to unveil the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which will be the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to continue Samsung’s compact clamshell foldable lineup, offering a pocket-friendly form factor for users who prefer a smaller smartphone.
Beyond foldables, Samsung is widely expected to refresh its smartwatch lineup with the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
Another product that could make an appearance is Samsung’s long-awaited Galaxy Glasses. After teasing its Android XR collaboration with Google earlier this year, Samsung could finally unveil its Gemini-powered smart glasses to take on Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. The Korean tech brand has also announced collaboration with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.
As always, stay tuned to us for official Malaysian pricing and availability details shortly after the Unpacked event.
