The next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is less than a week away, with Samsung expected to unveil a new wave of foldables and smartwatches. We're all pretty sure we know what to expect, and what those devices should look like. But if anyone had doubts, a smorgasbord of leaked renders just landed at Android Headlines, giving us an in-depth look at everything Samsung plans to reveal.
These renders show off the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold Ultra, Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. We've seen renders for some of these devices before, particularly the foldables, but this time we're seeing imagery that looks official. As well as showing the devices, they also reveal some of the colors that are on the way.
Needless to say there are no real surprises where the design is concerned. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra looks almost identical to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though there do appear to be some design tweaks such as more rounded corners.
The images also offer a closer look at the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra together, showcasing just how small the Fold 8 actually is. From these angles, it looks as though it's around 75% the height of the Ultra model, and somewhere in the region of 25% wider. However, I'll admit it's harder to gauge the width of these devices from just the images on offer.
Color-wise, there are a few things to digest. Standard color options appear to be navy blue and a lavender-like shade, though it's unclear whether these colors will be available for both Z Fold devices. Android Headlines also claims that the Z Fold 8 will be available in a "pistachio" color, which will be exclusive to Samsung's online store.
Considering pistachio flavoring is everywhere right now, this isn't a huge surprise. That said, the color itself looks less like the green we associate with the nuts, and more like an unappetizing blue/gray. Hopefully the real thing is a little more vivid.
As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, that's... basically the same as the Z Flip 7. It's no real surprise that Samsung hasn't changed the design, because it's rare to see a meaningful design change that doesn't involve increasing the size of the cover display. But since the cover display has taken up about as much space as it can, things have obviously become a little stagnant.
Colors include a shade of pink and the online-exclusive "Mint," which is that same washed-out-looking green we've seen on a bunch of phones.
It's a similar story with the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2. Both devices are very similar-looking to their predecessors, to the point where we can't see any meaningful differences.
Hopefully, the upgrades are a little more substantial than what we're expecting from the Z Flip 8. Colors shown include a white Watch 9 and a gunmetal gray Ultra 2 with a dark green band.
