It finally happened.
Samsung rolled out the red carpet in London on July 22, kicking off at 9 a.m. ET. The agenda? Five new devices. All of them foldable or wearable. No fluff. Just hardware.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign that the Android ecosystem is moving fast, look no further than this lineup. It isn’t just incremental updates. It’s a statement.
Which new phones launched at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked?
The big three phones arrived first. And then the Ultra joined the party.
Here is what actually hit the stage:
- Galaxy Z Flip 8
- Galaxy Z Fold 8
- Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra
- Galaxy Watch 9
- Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
Wait. An Ultra version of the Fold? Yes. That’s the headline grabber. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra joins the standard Z Fold 8 and the compact Galaxy Z Flip 8. It’s a triple threat.
Samsung didn’t just release phones. They released a hierarchy.
Why the Z Fold 8 Ultra matters
Most people expected the usual refresh. Same screen, slightly faster chip, same price hike.
Samsung said no.
By adding the Ultra moniker to the foldable category, they’re targeting users who want maximum specs without compromise. It sits alongside the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2. A complete ecosystem push.
Are you ready to pay premium prices for a phone that folds? Maybe. Or maybe you’ll stick with last year’s model. Either way, the choice is yours.
What about the watches?
The wearables didn’t miss the cut. The Galaxy Watch 9 brings standard updates. But the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 suggests durability and battery life are the focus here.
London saw it all live. Mashable was on the ground, catching every leak before it hit the web. But now the details are public.
The hardware is here. The questions remain.
Is the Ultra worth the upgrade?
Time will tell.
