Samsung is gearing up to unveil the next generation of its foldable smartphones—the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7—at its upcoming Unpacked event, which is likely to take place in early July 2025. According to reports, the launch event may mark a return to New York, a city that last hosted a Galaxy Unpacked back in 2022. The move comes amid growing competition in the foldables market, where brands like OnePlus and HONOR have launched compelling alternatives.
Samsung is expected to refresh both the Fold and Flip lineups with subtle yet meaningful upgrades. While the core design language might remain the same, improvements are likely to include more powerful internals, thinner profiles, enhanced hinge mechanisms, and brighter displays. The company is also anticipated to reveal more AI-driven features, building on its recent Galaxy AI push.
