Upcoming Galaxy Unpacked Event to Be Held in New York (Expected)
The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, where Samsung is expected to unveil its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldables, will take place in New York City, according a report by BusinessKorea. If true, this will be the first Samsung launch event to be held in the city since 2022, where the company introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Due to COVID restrictions, that was a virtual event.
As per the report, the launch event will be held early next month. It further claimed that the Korean variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chipset. Meanwhile, previous leaks suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.
Samsung recently teased an upcoming product, a book-style foldable smartphone, which could carry an “Ultra” branding. The teased device could be unveiled as a higher-end variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It is also possible that the rumoured Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the teased “Ultra” version are one and the same. We can expect to learn more about the Ultra model in the days leading up to the anticipated launch.
Alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and a likely “Ultra” variant of the latter, the South Korean tech giant is expected to introduce a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE as well.

The Fan Edition version is expected to come in black and white colour options and in 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage configurations.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely come in 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB variants. It is expected to be offered in Blue Shadow, White, and Black shades.
