Summary

Samsung Unveils Fold

Samsung will host Galaxy Unpacked in London on July 22 2026, unveiling the Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Ring 2, and Android XR smartglasses.
Analysts say a global RAM shortage limits component upgrades, driving top-end Fold prices above $2,700.
Samsung’s mature accessory ecosystem—including prior foldables, the Galaxy Watch series, and the upcoming Ring 2 with longer battery life and health tracking—gives it a market foothold Apple must build.
