Samsung is gearing up for a major launch as reports suggest the upcoming 'Galaxy Unpacked' event will be held in New York City early next month. This highly anticipated showcase is expected to feature the latest foldable smartphones — Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 — along with additional new models that broaden the lineup.

Return to NYC

The event is slated to take place in New York City, marking Samsung’s first in-person launch in the city since 2022. That event, although held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions, saw the debut of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. If confirmed, this signals a return to physical global showcases for Samsung’s major device announcements.

What to Expect

The spotlight will be on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 — two flagship foldables that continue to push innovation in design and performance. However, the event is also expected to feature a host of new variants:

Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: A budget-friendly "Fan Edition" model aimed at making foldable tech more accessible.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra: A high-end, book-style foldable teased by Samsung, possibly offering top-tier specifications and exclusive design elements.

Although Samsung has not officially confirmed these details, leaks and teasers have heavily hinted at their debut.

Chipset Configurations Revealed

One interesting detail from the report reveals that the Korean variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chipset, differentiating it from the global versions. Meanwhile, earlier leaks suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 "Elite" SoC, delivering the premium performance expected from Samsung's top-tier foldables.
