The summer edition of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is almost here, and with it we're expecting to see the next generation of Galaxy Foldables — as well as news about new wearable devices. This year's foldable launch is happening in London, which means it's all going to kick off a little earlier in the day than expected.
Thankfully, though, there are a variety of different ways to keep up to date with the show — and catch all the announcements as they happen. Not only will we at Tom's Guide be on the ground at Unpacked in London, we'll also be live blogging the entire event as it unfolds.
If you want to follow along, here's how you can tune in to Galaxy Unpacked to watch everything unfold live.
Where can you watch the Galaxy Unpacked live stream?
Summer Galaxy Unpacked 2026 is scheduled to take place on Wednesday July 22, with the event officially kicking off at 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT.
The easiest place to watch is via the live stream on Samsung's YouTube channel which we've embedded above. You should also be able to tune in via Samsung.com and Samsung Newsroom, if you want an alternative option.
What to expect at Summer Galaxy Unpacked 2026
The main thing to expect at the next Galaxy Unpacked are the new Galaxy foldables, and this year Samsung is expected to mix things up by announcing three new models. So rather than seeing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, we're expecting to see the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra as well.
But the big twist is that the Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to be the successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, while the standard Z Fold 8 is a new foldable with a shorter and wider design. It was originally referred to as the Galaxy Fold Wide for a reason.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to be exactly what we expected, with the added possibility of it being the last Samsung flip phone for the immediate future.
We should also expect to see updated wearables with the reveal of Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, alongside more news about Samsung's Galaxy Glasses — which were announced as Intelligent Eyewear at Google I/O back in May. We've heard rumors that Samsung is also working on a new version of its Galaxy Tag Bluetooth tracker, but it's unclear whether that will be appearing at Unpacked or if it's coming at a later date.
Finally there's One UI 9.5, which is likely to debut on the new foldables. Details on the new software are scant right now, but you can expect to see plenty of foldable-centric optimizations and possibly even some AI upgrades. So expect to hear all about that during the Unpacked event.
Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals
Galaxy Unpacked may not have happened yet, but there are already some early pre-order deals out there for you to take advantage of, if you don't want to wait for an official announcement.
Samsung is offering buyers the chance to "reserve" a new Galaxy foldable on its website, which will net you $30 credit on your eventual pre-order and up to $1,230 in trade-in savings. Those of you that sign up will also be entered into a prize draw to win one of 10 $500 Samsung gift cards.
This is a limited time deal, though, and the offer ends as soon as Galaxy Unpacked begins on Wednesday morning. It's also worth noting that you're not going to be forced to pre-order the phone if you change your mind, or decide that one of the new foldables isn't for you. So if there's even a small chance you might buy one of the new foldables, it just makes sense to sign up.
