Samsung's July 22 Unpacked Lineup Leaks in Full: Flip 8, Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, Two Watches

Samsung's full summer Unpacked lineup has surfaced in rendered form two weeks ahead of the event, with the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Watch 9, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 all appearing in leaks compiled by Engadget and originally reported by Android Headlines. Samsung is expected to hold the event on July 22 in London, per Android Headlines.

The renders give the clearest picture yet of Samsung's foldable and wearable strategy for the back half of 2026, and they arrive through a mix of official-looking assets and CAD-derived leaks that have been building since April.

Flip 8: three colors, Qi2 charging

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 appears in white, gray, and pink across the Engadget-compiled renders, while Android Headlines' own exclusive coverage names the same trio as Cream, Graphite, and Pink — likely marketing-copy variants of the same finishes (Android Headlines). PhoneArena corroborated the three-color lineup in its own coverage of the same Android Headlines exclusive.

The device's design lineage traces back further than this month's leaks. Android Headlines first published CAD-based renders of the Z Flip 8 in April 2026, produced through a partnership between MyMobiles and Onleaks, following earlier CAD renders of the Z Fold 8 and a variant then called the Z Fold 8 Wide (Android Headlines). A separate May leak of case listings pointed to Qi2 wireless charging support on the Flip 8, based on cutout and magnet placement visible in the case renders (Android Headlines).

Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra: a naming shuffle and a battery bump

The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 renders show a short-and-wide foldable form factor available in four colors, with a 5.5-inch QHD+ external display at a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 7.6-inch internal display at 4:3, according to the Engadget compilation. Notably, this device was referred to in earlier CAD leaks as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, a naming detail Android Headlines flagged when covering leaked screen protector renders that showed the phone in a light purple finish (Android Headlines). The renaming suggests Samsung may be consolidating what earlier leaks treated as two distinct form factors into a single Fold 8 line, though the company has not confirmed this.

Sitting above it is a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, expected in white, black, and purple, with a green variant reportedly reserved for Samsung.com exclusivity (Android Headlines). Separately, Android Headlines has reported the Fold 8 is expected to carry a 5,000mAh battery — the first capacity increase in the Fold line since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 (Android Headlines).

The overlapping and shifting nomenclature — Fold 8 Wide, standard Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra — reflects how CAD-stage leaks can misidentify or mislabel devices before official branding settles. Readers should treat any pre-Unpacked model name as provisional until Samsung's own materials confirm it.

Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2

The wearable side of the leak is comparatively modest in scope but no less specific. The Galaxy Watch 9 appears in three colors across two case sizes, consistent with Samsung's existing tiered sizing strategy for its mainline smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is shown in a single 47mm case size across two colors, per the same Engadget render roundup.

Neither watch leak includes detail on sensor or chipset changes, which is typical for this stage of the leak cycle — case renders tend to surface well before internal component specifics, since they often originate from accessory manufacturers or case molds rather than teardown sources.

The broader pattern here is one Samsung watchers will recognize: a steady drip of CAD renders, case leaks, and eventually what look like official marketing assets, arriving in sequence over months before Unpacked itself. What's notable this cycle is the apparent Fold lineup restructuring — introducing an Ultra tier alongside a folded-in "Wide" concept — which, if it holds through the July 22 announcement, would be the most significant configuration change to the Fold line in several generations rather than an incremental spec refresh.

Confirmation of pricing, chipset, and camera specifications for all five devices will most plausibly come at the London event itself. Until then, the renders offer a reasonably reliable preview of industrial design and color options, categories where leaks sourced from case and accessory manufacturers have historically proven accurate, even when battery, chipset, and pricing details remain unconfirmed.
