From the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launches to sneak peeks at what might come next, here’s your full recap.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked July 2025
This year’s Samsung Unpacked event showcased major updates to foldables and wearables, and confirmed that Samsung is doubling down on AI. Here are the major highlights from the event:
| Galaxy Z Fold 7 | Officially launched with a slimmer, brighter, more durable design, S-Pen improvements, and refined multitasking performance. |
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 | Debuted with AI-powered camera features, a flatter hinge, better battery life, and enhanced Flex Mode usability. |
| Galaxy Watch 8 | Introduced with upgraded health sensors, improved sleep tracking, longer battery life, and Wear OS refinements. |
| One UI 8 | Announced with smarter galleries, AI-driven video search, fold-aware multitasking, and deeper cross-device integration. |
Galaxy Z Fold 7, A Subtle Upgrade with Big Implications
Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7, bringing its most polished foldable experience to date. The device focuses on durability, AI-powered functionality, and improved usability rather than a radical redesign.
- Stronger hinge and glass: The Fold 7 introduces a redesigned hinge mechanism and upgraded Ultra Thin Glass for added toughness and long-term reliability.
- Galaxy AI enhancements: New AI-driven features boost multitasking, camera performance, and productivity, making better use of the large internal display.
- Optimised Flex Mode: Improved Flex Mode controls offer smoother app interactions when the device is partially folded.
- Refined usability: Slimmer bezels and a lighter design make the Fold 7 easier to handle in daily use.
While it doesn’t reinvent the foldable category, the Fold 7 cements Samsung’s lead in foldable tech with thoughtful refinements that enhance both durability and user experience.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 – AI-Powered Pocket Foldable
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 continues Samsung’s popular clamshell foldable lineup with upgrades aimed at creativity and convenience:
- AI-driven photography tools improve selfies and low-light shots.
- Refined hinge design delivers a sturdier folding experience.
- Flex Mode improvements allow more hands-free shooting options.
Compact and stylish, the Flip 7 brings enhanced functionality without losing its signature portability.
One UI 8 – Smarter, More Intuitive, and Built for New Screens
One of the quieter but most meaningful updates we’re watching is the rollout of One UI 8, Samsung’s newest version of its Android-based user interface. Currently in beta, the early previews show a shift toward AI-assisted photo and video management with smarter gallery organisation and richer content search features.
Highlights include:
- AI-powered photo clustering: Images are now grouped based on subject, time, and scene, making it easier to find memories without digging.
- Auto-generated stories: Your gallery will now suggest curated highlight reels, holiday albums, and even mood-based compilations.
- Enhanced video search: Search by face, object, or even colour to find specific moments in long video clips.
- Fold-aware UI changes: For foldable users, UI 8 introduces more fluid transitions between folded and unfolded states, smarter app layouts, and adaptive task switching.
For power users and creative professionals, this update could dramatically improve how they manage and interact with media. And for future foldables, like a potential tri-fold device, One UI 8 is the foundation that will make those new experiences feel seamless, not gimmicky.
What’s Next for Foldables?
While Samsung didn’t showcase a tri-fold device on stage**, industry chatter continues about what might come next for foldable tech. Tech analysts speculate that Samsung could be exploring multi-hinge, tri-fold designs that would allow a phone to open into a tablet-sized display. Patents and concept images have surfaced in recent years, hinting at a potential “Galaxy G Fold” or similar innovation.
Though no prototype or teaser appeared at Galaxy Unpacked 2025, it’s clear Samsung remains committed to pushing the boundaries of mobile form factors, meaning future events could deliver even more radical designs.
