At the top of the announcements was the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, Samsung’s most premium foldable to date. It features a larger 8-inch internal AMOLED display, virtually crease-free thanks to advancements in hinge engineering. Paired with ultra-thin glass improvements, the experience is smoother and more durable.
Performance-wise, the Fold 7 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, offering enhanced AI processing and efficiency. Users can expect snappier multitasking, better heat management, and battery life optimized for long days of productivity and play.
One of the standout features is the 200MP main camera. Samsung has significantly improved image processing, bringing DSLR-level clarity, especially in low-light settings. Combined with AI photo enhancement and Pro Mode video recording, it’s clear this phone is targeted not just at business users but also content creators and mobile photographers.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 continues Samsung’s trend of fashion-forward foldables. This year, the clamshell design comes with a tougher hinge, improved drop resistance, and IPX8 water resistance. The external cover display has been enlarged, making it easier to check notifications, respond to messages, and control music without unfolding the device.
Internally, the Z Flip 7 is powered by the same Gen 4 processor, ensuring smooth performance in a compact form. A new AI-powered personalization engine adjusts the interface based on usage patterns, making the user experience more intuitive than ever.
Battery life has also been improved, with a redesigned cell and more power-efficient display tech extending daily use comfortably past the 24-hour mark.

Samsung also unveiled its Galaxy Watch 8 lineup, which includes a standard model and a new Galaxy Watch 8 Ultra. Both offer upgraded health sensors, including next-generation heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, but the Ultra model adds advanced fitness metrics, body composition tracking, and satellite GPS for outdoor athletes.
Notably, the Ultra is built with a rugged titanium frame, military-grade durability, and a MicroLED display that is visible even in direct sunlight. With One UI Watch 6.0 onboard, users will also notice smoother animations, deeper integrations with Samsung Health, and improved battery efficiency.
One More Thing: Tri-Fold Concept and Project Moohan
Samsung teased its future ambitions with two standout concepts:
-
Galaxy Tri-Fold (G Fold) – A device that folds twice, creating a tablet-sized experience that fits in your pocket. While still in the prototype stage, the G Fold demonstrates Samsung’s ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of screen flexibility.
-
Project Moohan – A collaboration with Google to bring a mixed reality headset to life, Project Moohan aims to challenge Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest head-on. Running a customized Android XR platform, the headset will enable immersive experiences in productivity, gaming, and spatial entertainment.
Software and Ecosystem Upgrades
In addition to hardware, Samsung announced updates to its One UI ecosystem, with better cross-device functionality. Features like Universal Copy & Paste, Seamless Task Handoff, and Multi-Control across phone, tablet, and laptop reinforce Samsung’s push to make their devices work together as a cohesive suite.
Samsung Wallet now supports digital IDs in more regions, and Samsung Knox has received updates to make enterprise use more secure than ever.
Final Thoughts
The July 2025 Unpacked event clearly showcased Samsung’s intention to lead the future of mobile technology. From foldables that rival tablets, to wearables packed with health innovation, and even steps into mixed reality, Samsung is expanding its vision far beyond just smartphones.
As these devices begin rolling out globally, they’re set to shape how users engage with technology across work, health, and entertainment.
