What’s New with You, Samsung?
Samsung just wrapped up its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event – and let’s just say, the future of all things Samsung is looking a lot more flexible, powerful and AI-smart.
From the thinnest Galaxy Z Flip yet to subtle, smart Galaxy AI upgrades across the board, this year’s line-up mixes style with serious substance. Whether you're into epic photos, longer battery life or wearables that actually understand your body, Samsung’s new releases are made to truly fit the human experience. Here’s a closer look at everything Samsung unveiled at this year’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Slimmer, Smarter and Seriously Powerful
This year’s theme was “Unfold Ultra” and that’s exactly what they did.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 owned the stage at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 – and it deserves the spotlight. This is Samsung’s slimmest, lightest Fold yet, and yes, you can see the difference. It’s built to feel more like a regular smartphone and not a bulky concept device.
It’s equally impressive under the hood. The Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 packs a 200MP main camera, a more efficient all-day battery and the durable Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. It runs on One UI 8 – an interface designed specifically for foldables – with Android 16, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, delivering a 38% faster CPU for smooth multitasking, gaming and everything in between.
Basically, everything runs faster and feels more responsive, no matter what you’re doing with it.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Pocket-Sized Power, Seriously Upgraded
Samsung’s thinnest Flip yet, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, is all about blending sleek design with serious performance. When unfolded, the 6.9-inch display gives you plenty of screen real estate, but when closed, it folds down to a compact size that fits right in your pocket. The battery is the biggest ever in the Flip series, giving users enough juice to stream three movies – in full – without reaching for a charger.
The 50MP main camera uses Samsung’s AI-powered ProVisual Engine for sharper, more vibrant shots, day or night. The external Flex Window is now bigger (4.1 inches) and brighter, making it easy to check notifications, control music or snap quick photos without opening up the phone. Plus, Galaxy AI is baked in for smarter texting and photo edits.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Foldable Fun Without the Flashy Price
If you’ve been curious about foldables but don’t want to splurge, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is your perfect match. It packs the same 50MP camera, ProVisual Engine and Galaxy AI features that are quickly becoming Samsung staples at a much more affordable price.
The FE model is basically a lighter, budget-friendly version of the full Flip 7 experience, giving you foldable convenience and smart tech without going all in.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Smarter, Sleeker and Set For Your Body
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series will be thinner, more powerful and packed with health features you’ll actually use. The new series comes in two styles: the regular Watch 8 and the Classic with its signature rotating bezel.

AI Really is All Around
The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 Event made one thing crystal clear: Galaxy AI is the star of the show.
Some of our favourite stand-out features mentioned at the event included;
- Circle to Search: Has improved exponentially to recognise in-game features and provide info while you while you play.
- Editing: Erase unwanted photo objects or clean up background noise in videos with ease.
- Audio Eraser: Using smart sound separation technology, it lets you fine-tune up to four different audio elements at the same time.
- Writing Assist: Polishes your notes and ideas so you always look sharp when messaging.
- Drawing Assist: Helps you turn your ideas into images.
All this AI magic lives in One UI 8, powering your Fold or Flip with a host of smart features. Worried about privacy? Samsung’s got you covered with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection – or KEEP for short, which helps keep data safe from prying advertisers while still delivering personalised AI help.
Bonus: Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 come with 6 months of Google AI Pro so you can try it for yourself.
Still Green After All this Time
If sustainability is a big factor for you and your purchasing habits, you can rest easy because sustainability is still a big part of how Galaxy phones are made. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 use nine recycled materials, like old lithium and plastic from fishing nets. This is part of Samsung’s Galaxy for the Planet plan, showing their commitment to the environment.
Wrap-Up: Is Samsung’s 2025 Line-up Worth It?
The AI might feel a bit extra, but when it comes to looks and specs? Totally impressive. Samsung clearly listened to what users have been asking for. Slimmer designs, solid upgrades and devices that just look stunning. The only bummer? No sign of that much-anticipated tri-foldable… yet.
Pre-orders are live now, with the full line-up dropping on 25th July.
