With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 set to launch on July 9, tech fans have a lot to look forward to. But it’s not just about foldables this time we’re also hearing whispers of a potential tri-fold prototype, a major price cut on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and a solid new mid-range entry in the form of the Galaxy M36 5G.
So, what exactly is Samsung cooking up? Let’s unpack it all.
What’s Happening on July 9?
Samsung’s Unpacked events are always big, but this one is shaping up to be a showstopper. Here’s what insiders and leaks suggest we’ll see:
- The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7
- A possible teaser for a tri-fold phone
- Upgrades to One UI
- A more connected Galaxy ecosystem
Samsung hasn’t revealed much officially, but the buzz points to some serious upgrades especially in design, power, and durability.
Galaxy Z Fold 7: Refined, Tougher, and More Powerful
The Fold 7 is expected to be the most polished version of Samsung’s foldable yet. Think slimmer bezels, a lighter body, and a redesigned hinge that feels sturdier in hand. With brands like Vivo making waves in the foldable space, Samsung is clearly stepping up to stay ahead.
Rumored highlights include:
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for top-tier performance
- 7.6-inch AMOLED inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate
- Improved under-display camera
- Better battery life and faster charging
- Enhanced Flex Mode for multitasking
The Fold 7 might land in India with a price tag north of ₹1.6 lakh, which puts it firmly in the ultra-premium zone. But if the durability holds up and the performance delivers, power users may find it worth the splurge.
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Pocket-Friendly Style Meets Substance
If you like your phones compact and stylish, the Flip 7 might be more your speed. The upcoming version is expected to get a bigger outer display great for quick interactions, selfies, and notifications plus better low-light photography and improved battery life.
What to expect:
- A 3.4-inch cover screen
- Better cameras with enhanced night performance
- AI-powered photo and video editing
- Smoother hinge mechanics
Trendy, lightweight, and increasingly powerful, the Flip 7 is likely to appeal to influencers, young professionals, and anyone who wants a phone that makes a statement without sacrificing function.
Wait A Tri-Fold Phone?
Here’s where things get really interesting. According to multiple leaks, Samsung may offer a first look or at least a tease of its tri-fold smartphone.
Yes, a phone that folds not once but twice, potentially transforming into a tablet-sized device that still fits in your pocket. While a commercial launch might still be months away, even a brief preview would be enough to steal the show and remind the world who’s leading the foldable charge.
Quiet Launch: Galaxy M36 5G Packs a Punch
While all eyes are on the flagship foldables, Samsung has quietly rolled out the Galaxy M36 5G in India and it’s a strong contender in the mid-range space.
Specs that stand out:
- 6.5-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display
- Exynos 1380 processor
- 50MP main camera
- 5000mAh battery with 25W charging
- Ships with Android 14 and One UI 6
At around ₹18,000, the M36 5G offers impressive value, combining solid performance and modern features at an affordable price.
Big Drop for the Galaxy S24 Ultra
In a surprising move, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has seen a massive price cut over ₹36,000 off on Flipkart. Once priced above ₹1.2 lakh, the flagship is now available for under ₹90,000.
Why the discount?
- Clearing stock ahead of the new foldable launches
- Shifting marketing focus to the Z-series
- Staying competitive in a crowded flagship market
For anyone who’s been eyeing the S24 Ultra but couldn’t justify the cost, this may be the perfect time to grab one.
Is Samsung Ditching the S Pen?
One of the more controversial rumors floating around is that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may drop the built-in S Pen. Long a fan favorite, especially among Note loyalists, the stylus has been a signature feature.
Why would Samsung remove it? Possibly to slim down the device or reframe what productivity looks like on a smartphone. The S Pen might still be offered as an accessory but it’s a signal that change is coming.
Why This Launch Is a Big Deal
Samsung’s July 9 event isn’t just another product drop. It’s a strategic play in a market that’s shifting fast.
With Apple reportedly prepping its first foldable and Chinese brands like Honor and Vivo gaining ground, Samsung needs to reassert its leadership. And by pushing forward on all fronts high-end innovation, mid-range value, and aggressive pricing it’s making a strong statement.
Final Thoughts: Should You Wait or Buy?
If you’re in the market for a new phone, here’s what to consider:
- Wait for real-world reviews of the Fold 7 and Flip 7 if you’re eyeing a foldable
- Check out the M36 5G if you want reliable performance on a budget
