Samsung is preparing something bigger than a routine launch. Word from the Korean supply chain suggests Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Wide Fold, and Flip 8 on July 22, 2026, in London, UK.

If accurate, it will be the first time Samsung unpacks its strategic devices in the city of London. This is not just about a new venue; it is positioning, via WowTV Korea.

Europe is where the premium market is tightening, and where Apple is quietly gaining ground. Samsung still leads with roughly 35 percent share, but Apple sits close behind at 27 percent.

The spotlight will fall on three devices: Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and a new entrant insiders are calling the “Wide Fold.” Samsung is said to be moving toward a 4:3 aspect ratio, a noticeable shift from the taller, narrower foldables.

It closely mirrors what’s expected from Apple’s foldable iPhone. The device is tipped to come in about 0.5mm thinner than Apple’s rumored foldable. If these confirmation points hold steady, Samsung is not waiting to react; it is preempting.

S Pen is making a return

Samsung had quietly stepped back from stylus support in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 due to thickness and weight constraints. The report indicates that Samsung might reintroduce stylus support on the foldable phone, probably the Wide Fold.

Bringing back S Pen support on a thinner chassis tells you a lot about how far the engineering has come. It also reopens a key differentiation point that Apple still does not match in the foldable space.

If this Unpacked plays out as expected, July 22 could set the tone for the next phase of the foldable race.
