Everything That Happened at July’s Galaxy Unpacked: Launches, Surprises, and Future Trends
Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 is officially in the books — and Samsung came prepared. From foldables and wearables to smart rings and AI integration, this was one of the most ambitious Unpacked events in years. Here’s your complete and easy-to-follow recap of everything that happened at the event.
Galaxy Unpacked: Samsung’s Vision Unfolded
The Galaxy Unpacked this July was streamed live from Brooklyn and showcased Samsung’s latest push toward a smarter, more interconnected ecosystem. With new devices, AI capabilities, and a stronger partnership with Google’s Gemini, Samsung is clearly betting big on intelligent assistance and premium hardware.
The company emphasized “multimodal experiences” and seamless transitions between devices — whether you’re flipping, folding, or wearing your tech.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7: Smarter, Slimmer, and More Personal
As expected, the highlight of the Galaxy Unpacked was the introduction of the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Both models have undergone thoughtful design improvements, with deeper AI integration built right into the operating system.
The Z Fold 7 now features a 200MP camera, thinner bezels, and a larger main screen. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite — though notably, it no longer supports the S Pen. The Z Flip 7 arrives with a new 4.1-inch cover display, a more powerful Exynos 2500 chip in select markets, and even a new budget-friendly model: the Flip 7 FE, starting at $899.
What’s new with the Fold 7?
- Thinner, lighter design
- 200MP camera with enhanced low-light performance
- AI tools for multitasking and screen organization
Why the Flip 7 is more mainstream than ever
The Flip 7 makes foldables more accessible with its streamlined Flex Mode, AI photo editor, and a brighter outer display — perfect for selfies and notifications. The FE model brings this form factor to a wider audience with fewer trade-offs than expected.
Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic: Smarter, Lighter, and More Focused on Your Health
During this month’s Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung also unveiled two new smartwatches: the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Both models feature the iconic cushioned design, now enhanced with the Dynamic Lug System — a new attachment mechanism that ensures a more secure and comfortable fit on your wrist.
Under the hood, both watches are powered by a cutting-edge 3nm processor that enables proactive coaching, from sleep training and guided running sessions to holistic wellness insights. But one of the most innovative additions is the ability to measure your body’s antioxidant levels. Simply place your thumb on the sensor, and the watch will estimate your skin’s carotenoid levels — offering a glimpse into how healthy your current diet and lifestyle really are.
The Galaxy Watch8 is now the slimmest Galaxy Watch ever made, making it the most comfortable for all-day wear. Meanwhile, the Watch8 Classic keeps the beloved rotating bezel and introduces a new Quick Access Button, making navigation smoother and more intuitive than ever before.
What’s the difference between Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic?
Navigation: The Classic features a new Quick Access Button for faster interactions
Design: Watch8 is ultra-thin; the Classic keeps the rotating bezel and a bolder look
Comfort: Both include the new Dynamic Lug System for better wrist fit
Health Features: Track sleep, heart rate, blood pressure, and antioxidant levels
AI at the Core: Gemini and One UI 8
Samsung’s boldest message at Galaxy Unpacked was about AI. Galaxy AI is now deeply embedded in One UI 8, powered by Android 16. The system integrates Gemini Live, a conversational assistant that responds across apps, multitasking contexts, and even during calls.
From auto-translating messages to summarizing voice memos or editing images with a single prompt, Galaxy AI is now part of the daily Galaxy workflow — and it’s only getting smarter.
Samsung Health: Now More Predictive and Personalized
The Galaxy Unpacked event showed how health tracking is evolving. Samsung Health is more proactive, with alerts for potential heart risk, enhanced cycle tracking for women, and personalized wellness scores that adapt over time.
Whether you wear a Galaxy Watch, the Ring, or both — your data is now smarter and more insightful.
Can you trust Samsung Health?
It’s not a replacement for medical advice, but with improved sensors and AI-based pattern recognition, Samsung Health is becoming a reliable wellness assistant for everyday use.
