Samsung opens Galaxy Unpacked in London on 22 July, and for the first time in seven years the Galaxy Z Fold is changing shape . The headline act is a wider, squarer Galaxy Z Fold 8 built to feel like an ordinary phone when shut, sold beneath a taller Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra that keeps the flagship crown . A refreshed Galaxy Z Flip 8, two new Galaxy Watches and Google's agentic Gemini Intelligence fill out the rest of the bill. The subplot is money. A global memory shortage is pushing component costs up across the industry, and every price that lands on stage will carry that weight.A note on what follows: Samsung has confirmed the date, the venue and a run of teasers. Almost everything else comes from leaked spec sheets, retailer listings and marketing renders that surfaced through the first half of July. Where the reporting is firm, it says so. Where two leaks disagree, both numbers appear.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
