What can we look forward to according to leaked information? Samsung has several big premieres up its sleeve this year in the areas of flexible phones, wearable electronics, and completely new segments.
Flexible phones
- Galaxy Z Flip8: A thinner and lighter body is expected, with the Exynos 2600 processor at the heart of the clamshell. The display size, cameras, and battery capacity will likely remain the same as its predecessor, but there is speculation that faster charging will be implemented.

Summer Unpacked 2026 clearly shows that Samsung no longer wants to rely on minor evolution, but after years of stagnating, it is finally taking bolder steps. The key moment will be the splitting of the series Fold to a "standard" model with a more user-friendly, wider aspect ratio and uncompromising variantu Ultra, which is a strategy the manufacturer should have implemented long ago.
However, the real dark horse of the whole event may be smart glasses with Android XR and integrated Gemini – if Samsung can deliver a product with a civilian design and a reasonable price, it has an ideal opportunity to define a new era of wearable electronics before competition fully establishes itself in this segment.
