Samsung’s summer Unpacked event is still weeks away, but thanks to a fresh batch of leaks, we may already know more than we should. And frankly, that’s not a bad thing.
Details about Samsung’s upcoming foldables and wearables — including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, the first-ever Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup — are now doing the rounds online. The leaked data includes everything from colour options and storage configurations to possible changes in the release schedule.
Galaxy Unpacked 2025: What We Might See on Stage
It’s not even mid-June, and yet Samsung fans already have July 10 circled in bold red ink. If reports are to be believed, that’s when Samsung plans to unveil the latest entries in its foldable and wearable series.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. We’re not just talking about iterative upgrades. There’s a twist this year — potentially more than one.
Last year, Samsung stuck to the routine: a Z Fold, a Z Flip, and the usual Watch duo. This time, not only are we getting the expected successors, but a new face might join the stage — the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, the company’s first Fan Edition foldable. Even whispers of a wild card, the triple-folding “G Fold,” have made the rounds.
But it’s the Z Flip 7 FE that’s causing the most buzz.
The Z Flip 7 FE: Samsung’s New Experiment
FE, short for Fan Edition, usually means one thing — flagship-level design at a less brutal price. If Samsung pulls this off with a foldable, it could change the mid-range market for good.
The Z Flip 7 FE has reportedly been tipped for two different timelines: some say it’ll debut at Unpacked in July; others believe it may launch quietly alongside the Galaxy S25 FE in September. But here’s the kicker — Samsung might announce it in July and ship it later.
That’s classic Samsung. Hype now, release later.
One industry insider summed it up: “They’re creating noise in July, planting seeds for Q3.” It’s a strategy that keeps the product in conversations without clogging the pipeline all at once.
Colours, Storage, and That Familiar Premium Shine
Thanks to a detailed leak from WinFuture, we now know how Samsung plans to dress up its new gear.
Let’s break it down:
-
Galaxy Z Fold 7: Black, Silver, and Blue
-
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Mint, Yellow, Silver, and Black
-
Z Flip 7 FE: Light Blue, Light Green, Yellow, and Black
-
Galaxy Watch 8 / Watch 8 Classic: Black, Silver, White, and Beige
The Fold 7 will reportedly come with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. The Flip 7, meanwhile, is expected to offer 256GB and 512GB variants as well. The FE model? Word is it’s capped at 128GB or 256GB — no surprises there.
Just one sentence here: The Watch 8 Classic is likely to bring back the fan-favorite rotating bezel.
Here’s a quick look at the leaked colour and storage lineup:
| Device | Colour Options | Storage Variants |
|---|---|---|
| Z Fold 7 | Silver, Black, Blue | 256GB, 512GB |
| Z Flip 7 | Mint, Yellow, Silver, Black | 256GB, 512GB |
| Z Flip 7 FE | Light Blue, Light Green, Yellow, Black | 128GB, 256GB |
| Galaxy Watch 8 | Black, Silver, White, Beige | Not disclosed |
| Watch 8 Classic | Black, Silver, White, Beige | Not disclosed |
What About the Mysterious G Fold?
Okay, now here’s where things go off-script. The Galaxy G Fold is, reportedly, Samsung’s first stab at a triple-folding phone.
Little is known, but the timing of these rumours aligns suspiciously with Samsung’s pattern of teasing wild form factors. Think of the S25 Edge reveal earlier this year — a soft tease, no specs, just enough to spark interest.
Could we get a sneak peek of the G Fold in July? Maybe.
Will it launch this year? Probably not.
Still, the fact that Samsung might use Unpacked as a platform to test the waters on a new category is a sign they’re not just playing defense anymore.
Beyond Phones: Watch 8 Aims for the Wrist Crown
While the phones usually hog the spotlight, Samsung’s wearables have quietly built a loyal fanbase. And this year’s Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic are shaping up to keep that going.
Here’s what’s on the cards:
-
A return of the rotating bezel in the Watch 8 Classic
-
Four colour choices across both models
-
Likely improvements to battery life and health sensors
And just like the FE phones, Samsung’s playing it close to the chest here. Spec leaks have been minimal, which suggests either final tuning is still underway — or they’re holding back for a surprise reveal.
Only time will tell.
Why This Launch Matters More Than Usual
On the surface, this might look like another cycle of upgraded foldables and wearables. But this year’s Unpacked has higher stakes than it appears.
Samsung’s Q1 2025 earnings revealed a slight dip in mobile profits — mostly attributed to stiffer competition from Chinese brands like Honor and Xiaomi, especially in Southeast Asia and Europe. Foldables are where Samsung still holds a clear edge.
Which is why the Z Flip 7 FE matters so much.
A cheaper foldable could plug a major gap in their pricing ladder, especially in price-sensitive markets like India, Indonesia, and Brazil.
And let’s not forget Apple’s rumoured foldable — which, according to some reports, might land in early 2026.
Samsung’s trying to keep the crown before Cupertino comes for it.
