What to expect at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked
Whenever it happens, we expect that the next Unpacked will center on the latest developments to Samsung's lines of foldables and wearables. A lot of it may be business as usual, but the company has hinted that some possibly exciting new additions are in the works. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (Sam Rutherford for Engadget)
Based on the usual annual cadence, this summer Unpacked 2025 will most likely introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. One recent leak claimed that Gemini Live will be a core part of the foldables' presentation, and considering AI is the buzzword for every tech presentation these days, it would be strange if Unpacked didn't follow suit. AI features got a positive reception from both our Fold 6 and Flip 6 reviewers, although they fell more under the umbrella of parlor tricks than valuable assets.
Android Headlines is back with renders of what it claims show the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The foldable sports a slimmer profile than the prior model and the navy blue chassis is certainly pretty. It also indicates that both the cover display and inner display are reportedly bigger in this design, up to 6.5 inches and 8.2 inches, respectively. The publication also showed purported images of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 that also pointed to increased screen real estate.
There may be a third player in the foldables lineup for this Unpacked. A teaser from Samsung last month pointed toward a Galaxy Z Fold Ultra that will come with Galaxy AI. There are no specs in the blog post, but the company insists that this will have "industry-leading hardware, cutting-edge performance and seamless AI integration optimized for the foldable format." This doesn't appear to be the tri-fold design we've heard rumblings about, but that would be a fun reveal if Samsung does pull that off as a surprise announcement.

On the wearables front, the only thing we're really anticipating is news about the Galaxy Watch 8. But the anticipation is pretty mild.
This smartwatch collection from Samsung hasn't really pushed the envelope for several years; the Galaxy Watch 7 was the third iteration where our reviewers felt the new model offered only incremental improvements over the previous generation. So either this Unpacked will be yet another round of small gains on the specs or Samsung will surprise us with some substantial upgrades. Improved battery life would be a big plus.
For the past few weeks, Samsung fans have been speculating that a new smartphone announcement could be on the way soon. Although the company's standard mobile hardware is usually unveiled at the start of the year, we've seen some credible rumors that a new Galaxy S25 FE is in the works. If Samsung is looking to release a new version to that line in the fall, it would make sense to announce and open pre-orders at the summer Unpacked.
The Galaxy S24 FE had some solid specs but was a little pricey to be a true budget model, especially with an underwhelming set of AI features. So far, the leaks about the S25 FE also point toward continued underwhelm, with claims that its cameras won't be seeing much in the way of upgrades, although it may be getting a boost to performance and battery if rumors that it will use the Exynos 2400 processor turn out to be true.
We'll be keeping you posted with all the Unpacked news as it happens, as well as covering the event with a liveblog, so stay tuned!

One UI 8 gives you more control over where your Secure Folder apps pop up
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung's Secure Folder lets you lock files and even entire apps behind an extra layer of protection. One UI 8 has already started improving how Secure Folder is accessed, with a quick lockdown shortcut. Now we're seeing Samsung add new settings for Secure Folder apps in your share sheet. Samsung likes to present its Galaxy smartphones as particularly secure devices, and has long leaned on its Knox security framework to highlight those features. That includes Secure Folder, the company's system for sequestering sensitive or just personal content behind some additional security, requiring extra authentication — at least, that's how it's supposed to work. Today we're checking out a recent change that looks like it's going to help streamline how you work with Secure Folder apps. Secure Folder isn't just a place to keep media and downloaded files, and Samsung also supports installing entire apps within this secure enclave. With One UI 8, we've already seen Samsung implementing new controls around this functionality, like the ability to quickly hide the Secure Folder and all apps installed there. As we continue to crawl through Samsung's beta releases, we've become aware of another tweak for Secure Folder apps. In One UI 8, Samsung is introducing a new setting that lets you control whether or not apps installed in your Secure Folder appear as sharing targets in the sheet from other apps (Thanks: That Josh Guy on X). Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority When enabled, just like it says on the tin, you'll easily be able to share content from normal apps with those locked behind Secure Folder's protections. We can easily imagine reasons why Galaxy users might potentially want to have that toggle flipped in both directions, but which way makes the most sense for you is going to depend a lot upon both what you use Secure Folder for, and which specific apps you keep tucked away in there. Samsung's Android 16-based One UI 8 beta has been off to a solid start so far, and we saw its third major release start rolling out just a few days back. Samsung still has some more work to do before this update's ready to hit stable, but with the company's big foldable Unpacked event scheduled to take place in under a week, though, we may be very close to getting some official release news. Check back with us on July 9 for all the details to emerge. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ . You can stay anonymous or get credit for the info, it's your choice.

The best Prime Day kitchen deals on air fryers, Instant Pots and sous vide machines
If you're considering updating your kitchen setup, first check out these early Prime Day kitchen deals that are already live — the actual sale doesn't start until Tuesday. Engadget editors and reporters have tested and reviewed a whole bunch of kitchen tech and Amazon's annual July sale is a great time to save on many of the gadgets we recommend. Right now, we're seeing discounts on Ninja air fryers, Instant Pots, Anova sous vide machines and even an indoor pizza oven. And we've linked to our testing so you can get some background before diving in. Here are the best deals on kitchen tech for Amazon's Prime Day sale. Cosori Air Fryer 9-in-1 for $90 ($30 off with Prime): The runner up pick in our air fryer guide has a spacious cooking capacity yet takes up surprisingly little counter space. Little features like an intuitive touchscreen, a safety release button on the basket and an auto-pause feature set this cooker apart. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $320 ($80 off): This is the premium pick in our air fryer guide — but really, it does far more than just air fry. As our reviewer noted, its massive cubic-foot-capacity and numerous cook modes make this more like an auxiliary oven. (It can even cook an entire 14-pound turkey.) It went on sale for $300 during last year's Black Friday sales. Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $180 ($70 off): This is the air fryer to pick if you've ever wished you could air fry two different things at the same time. We named it the best dual-zone air fryer you can get — it even has a feature that makes sure the two different foods are ready at the same time. Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 ($65 off with Prime): Here's a smaller version of the Instant air fryer we named best overall. It has a four-quart capacity, which is perfect for one person and small kitchens. And, like its larger sibling, pre-heats quickly. Ninja Air Fryer (4 QT) for $80 ($50 off): The budget pick from our air fryer guide isn't currently on sale, but this four-quart Ninja fryer has twice the capacity and is nearly the same price. It can also roast and dehydrate in addition to air frying and reheating. Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 QT) for $70 ($70 off with Prime): Perhaps you know someone who has somehow gotten this far in life without owning an Instant Pot — perhaps that someone is you. Amazon's Prime Day is a golden opportunity to remedy that. We named it the best multi-cooker you can buy in our guide to kitchen tech. Cuckoo Twin Pressure Rice Cooker for $190 ($70 off with Prime): This is the best premium rice cooker in our guide to those machines. We like how quickly it cooks all types of rice to perfection (we tested it with long-grain white basmati, brown and sushi-grade white rice). Just keep in mind that it can be a little difficult to clean and the manual isn't the most user-friendly. Breville InFizz soda maker for $200 ($50 off) : If you want to carbonate just about any beverage, we found Breville's soda maker to be " the bubble master " in our review and appreciated how easy it was to use — and how good it looked on the countertop. It's compatible with standard 60L CO2 canisters, but note that those aren't included here. Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine for $200 ($50 off): The premium pick in our guide to sous vice machines has a powerful 1,100-watt heater that cuts down on cooking times. It also uses your phone as the controller (just don't get it if you're hoping for on-device buttons). Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0 for $130 ($80 off): Our top pick for a sous vide machine delivers 1,100 watts of power and a flow rate of eight liters per minute which will get your water up to the right temperature faster. It also has intuitive digital touch controls and Wi-Fi connectivity. Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($269 off): This is our pick for the best indoor pizza oven — but it can be used outdoors as well thanks to its weather-resistant design. It has front-mounted controls that let you individually control the upper and lower heating elements and it can get up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 20 minutes.

Samsung's AI-powered refrigerator is down $1,870 for July 4th sale
It's that time of the year where we see the most strain on our refrigeration and freezing elements, and when waiting extra minutes for a fresh batch of ice just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Luckily, a great Samsung deal has emerged as part of the company's ongoing July 4th sale. Their Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerators (the smart refrigerators with AI vision into the fridge's interior and an AI family board on the front) are down to $3,299. That's a savings of $1,870 for the counter depth version (originally $5,099) and a savings of $1,200 for the full depth version (originally $4,999). Tap the button below to see the refrigerators for yourself or keep on reading to see why these are the best smart home pickups for the summer. Why you should buy a Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator We're currently in the middle of a hot summer, so let's cut to the good stuff first — the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerators have ample space in both the refrigerator and freezer segments, and each have two doors to make accessing and using every nook and cranny easy. In fact, the bottom right segment can be made into either another fridge segment or a secondary freezer segment to reflect your family's fridge to freezer needs ratio. And then there are the dual automatic ice makers to ensure you'll have good, fresh ice at all times and the refrigerator's beverage center that produces cool water directly from itself or will give you a cold pitcher of water to serve to your guests at the dining table or out on the deck. From the outside, you'll first see the Family Hub, a modern take on fridge magnets and sticky notes that lets you put digital drawings, videos, and more to your family's most-visited appliance. There's also an internal view of the fridge, letting you know what's inside it without letting all the cold air. And, using AI smarts, you can get a The Sims-esque inventory view of what's in your fridge at a glance. When you're ready to get something, accessing the interior of the fridge is done by a light tap that automatically opens the door. Sometimes we think of the summer as the season of the waterproof Bluetooth speaker, but having a nice cold fridge goes a long way for those family gatherings and cool treats. This is your chance to get one of the smartest refrigerators out there for as much as $1,870 off, but it won't last forever. Tap the button below to order yours now.
