Updated on Tuesday, June 24 at 8:31 a.m. ET — In a press release and video announcing its July 9 Unpacked event, Samsung teased that the "Ultra Experience Is Ready To Unfold." The company also stated, "The next-generation Galaxy devices are being reimagined around a new AI-powered interface, supported by breakthrough hardware built to unlock their full potential. This future is already unfolding, and the best of Galaxy AI and Samsung craftsmanship is about to be unveiled."

While that stops short of a direct confirmation that we'll see the new Samsung foldable phones on July 9, it's a safe bet that we'll see the official introduction of the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.

The company confirmed in an email to Mashable that the next Samsung Unpacked livestream will take place on Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. ET. This event will take place in Brooklyn, and as usual, you can watch on Samsung's website and YouTube channel when the time comes.

Samsung teased announcements that would "unveil the next evolution of Galaxy AI" and the "ever-expanding Galaxy ecosystem". Right now, all eyes are on Samsung's next-gen foldables, the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. And while Samsung hasn't confirmed that's what we'll be getting, we'd be surprised if that's not the focus of the event.

Samsung's next round of foldables has been leaking like a runny faucet online lately. And since Samsung usually launches new foldables around this time of year, it's easy to assume the new foldables will be unveiled during this Unpacked. There could also be other hardware announcements, but foldables are the big one everyone is expecting.

"With AI leading the way, Galaxy devices are evolving from reactionary smartphones to anticipatory smart companions – transforming how we communicate, create, and connect," Samsung's email said. That's the only tidbit Samsung provided regarding what we should expect from the stream. In other words, there will be plenty of Galaxy AI talk.

At least we have a date now. All that remains is to wait.
