Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025: Fold 7, Flip 7 Expected, Tri-Fold Concept May Steal the Show
Samsung is gearing up for its highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, scheduled for July 9, where the spotlight is expected to shine on the next generation of foldable smartphones — Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Adding to the excitement, new rumours suggest Samsung could finally lift the curtain on its long-rumoured tri-fold phone, though its retail debut may still be a few months away.
While Samsung hasn't officially announced availability dates, well-placed sources suggest a familiar release cadence. Citing a post from Chinese tipster Instant Digital on Weibo, both the Fold 7 and Flip 7 will likely be unveiled at the event and then released for retail in early August.
This matches Samsung's typical timeline. In 2024, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 were launched on July 9, with sales beginning two weeks later on July 24. The same launch rhythm was followed in 2023. If Samsung follows this pattern, pre-orders could open by the end of July.
Tri-Fold Debut in Sight
Perhaps the most exciting part of this year's Unpacked could be the first look at Samsung's tri-fold smartphone — a concept the company has hinted at over the years but never launched commercially. According to the latest leak, Samsung may tease the tri-fold during the event, but the actual release is expected to take place in October 2025.
This would mark a significant milestone for Samsung in the foldables space, pushing beyond the traditional clamshell and book-style designs to explore multi-folding form factors. If the tri-fold does make its debut, even as a concept, it could serve as a bold statement about Samsung's innovation in flexible display technology.
What Else to Expect
In addition to foldables, Samsung is also expected to refresh its wearables line with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. While official specifications are still under wraps, industry watchers anticipate iterative improvements in health monitoring, performance, and battery life — further strengthening Samsung's footprint in the premium smartwatch segment.
With multiple high-profile devices in the pipeline, Samsung is clearly aiming for a strong finish to 2025. From upgraded foldables to the potential reveal of its most futuristic device yet, the company's July 9 event may prove to be one of its most pivotal in years.
Until then, all eyes remain fixed on Galaxy Unpacked 2025 — the moment that could once again redefine the foldable phone market.

DeepSeek faces expulsion from app stores in Germany
HighlightsGermany's data protection commissioner Meike Kamp has requested that Apple Inc. and Google LLC remove the Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek from their app stores due to concerns over illegal data transfers to China. DeepSeek has been criticized for failing to provide adequate evidence that the personal data of German users is protected in China at a level comparable to that within the European Union. The technology company DeepSeek has faced scrutiny in multiple countries, with Italy already blocking its app and the Netherlands banning its use on government devices due to data security concerns. Germany 's data protection commissioner has asked Apple and Google to remove Chinese AI startup DeepSeek from their app stores in the country due to concerns about data protection, following a similar crackdown elsewhere. Commissioner Meike Kamp said in a statement on Friday that she had made the request because DeepSeek illegally transfers users' personal data to China. The two US tech giants must now review the request promptly and decide whether to block the app in Germany, she added, though her office has not set a precise timeframe. Google said it had received the notice and was reviewing it. DeepSeek did not respond to a request for comment. Apple was not immediately available for comment. According to its own privacy policy, DeepSeek stores numerous pieces of personal data, such as requests to its AI programme or uploaded files, on computers in China. "DeepSeek has not been able to provide my agency with convincing evidence that German users' data is protected in China to a level equivalent to that in the European Union," Kamp said. "Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies," she added. The commissioner said she took the decision after asking DeepSeek in May to meet the requirements for non-EU data transfers or else voluntarily withdraw its app. DeepSeek did not comply with this request, she added. DeepSeek shook the technology world in January with claims that it had developed an AI model to rival those from U.S. firms such as ChatGPT creator OpenAI at much lower cost. However, it has come under scrutiny in the United States and Europe for its data security policies. Italy blocked it from app stores there earlier this year, citing a lack of information on its use of personal data, while the Netherlands has banned it on government devices. Belgium has recommended government officials not to use DeepSeek. "Further analyses are underway to evaluate the approach to be followed," a government spokesperson said. In Spain, the consumer rights group OCU asked the government's data protection agency in February to investigate threats likely posed by DeepSeek, though no ban has come into force. US lawmakers plan to introduce a bill that would ban U.S. executive agencies from using any AI models developed in China. Reuters exclusively reported this week that DeepSeek is aiding China's military and intelligence operations.

Fine living Slim is still in
Slim smartphones were supposed to be a relic of the past—remember when thin was the 'thing'? Clearly, Samsung didn't get the memo; they printed it out, framed it, and put it on the wall as inspiration. Enter the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a device so svelte it practically demands its own diet plan. But does thinness cost functionality? Let's dive in.
