What's missing from Samsung's next Unpacked might say a lot about its 2026 plans
Samsung's next major launch event is just around the corner, and we're all expecting to see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 — possibly alongside the rumored Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. But one thing that likely won't show up on stage is a new pair of flagship earbuds. According to a new report, the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 are now expected to launch next year — not this summer, not this fall, but early 2026, right around the expected unveiling of the Galaxy S26 series. That's somewhat unusual for Samsung, as in previous years the company launched its premium earbuds like the Galaxy Buds 3 during its foldable Unpacked events mid-summer. So, what gives? The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. | Image credit — PhoneArena The delay might indicate that Samsung is planning something more ambitious for the Buds 4. A patent filed earlier this year suggests the company is exploring Ultra Wideband (UWB) tech for earbuds — which could open the door to features like real-time spatial audio positioning, ultra-precise Find My-style tracking, or even smarter auto-switching between Galaxy the Buds 4 aren't mentioned in the patent, it's easy to imagine Samsung holding back a release to integrate something meaningful — especially as Apple and Google push their own spatial audio also the question of branding: Will Samsung stick with a standard vs. Pro tier like it did with the Buds 3 lineup, or unify everything into one new Buds 4 model? So far, no reliable leaks have clarified this. Samsung isn't leaving fans completely empty-handed in 2025. The company recently launched the Galaxy Buds Core — a basic, budget-friendly option for users who just want the essentials. But these are clearly not meant to replace the Galaxy Buds 3 or Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Instead, it looks like Samsung is holding its true audio refresh for the next big phone cycle. And pairing the Buds 4 launch with the Galaxy S26 series makes strategic sense. That way, Samsung can bundle them, show off new AI-powered audio features tied into One UI, or simply kick off 2026 with a full ecosystem refresh. If the Buds 4 do arrive in January or February, we're hoping for improved ANC, smarter integration with Galaxy AI, better microphone quality, and more premium sound — especially after seeing what rivals like Sony and Apple have brought to the table. For now, though, it looks like audio fans will need a bit more patience. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung teases Galaxy Z Fold7's AI camera features
Samsung's teaser campaign for the Galaxy Z Fold7 is already underway, and the brand is now dropping its first hint for the camera upgrades coming to its new foldable. Samsung will offer a more capable multimodal AI search straight from the Galaxy Camera app. This should be a new in-house Galaxy AI-powered feature. Samsung says the camera on the Z Fold7 will be 'able to get what you're looking at and respond to situations'. The new teaser also mentions the "Ultra experience" catchphrase seen on the previous two teasers. The Z Fold7 will be Samsung's thinnest and lightest horizontal foldable phone yet and it's expected to launch in mid-July alongside the Z Flip7 and Z Flip FE clamshells.

Posted Jun 6, 2025 at 3:40 AM EDT 0 Comments / 0 New D Dominic Preston Samsung leaks its own foldable names. And no, they're not exactly surprising. But even so, a Galaxy Store listing for 'Samsung Internet Browser for Fold7 and Flip7,' spotted by GalaxyClub, does give the game away a little, especially since we're not expecting the new phones to launch for at least a month. Of course, that doesn't preclude extra versions, like the Fold Ultra Samsung teased just this week, or its rumored cheaper Flip FE.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE price leaks
Samsung is expected to hold its next big Unpacked event in New York in early July, and that's where the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will become official. They are very likely to be joined by the oft-rumored Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, deemed to be a more affordable flip-style foldable option. Just how much more affordable? Well, according to a new report from Korea, the Flip7 FE will be priced in Samsung's home country around KRW 1 million. That currently translates into approximately $740, €645, or £545. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Of course prices don't usually translate directly from one currency to another, but it's probably safe to expect a launch price of $799 in the US, which would, as expected, significantly undercut the Flip7, creating a more affordable entry point into its flip-style foldable line. As for pricing in the EU and UK, that's much harder to anticipate - it will definitely be more than in Korea, as that's how things usually go. Let's just say at least €799 and £699 seems likely, but this is just us speculating, keep in mind. The Flip7 FE will be offered with 128GB and 256GB of storage, today's report goes on to say, and the Flip7 will get 256GB and 512GB options, priced identically to its predecessor from last year. According to previous rumors, the Flip7 FE will either be a Flip5 with an Exynos 2400e SoC, or a Flip6 with a different name. Somehow neither of those options strike us as logical, but weirder things have happened in the mobile world. Source (in Korean)
