Just take a look at the below renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, seemingly based on insider information, and you’ll see a phone that looks pretty much identical to its predecessor.
I’d normally say that’s no bad thing as I like the design of the current Fold. But equally in the face of tighter competition from the likes of the Google Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open, I feel Samsung could do with mixing up the design of its flagship foldable phone… try saying that fast and after a few beers.

As the ‘boss’ of the Mobile Computing division at TechRadar, which means smartphones and tablets, you’d think I’d be excited about the Galaxy Z Fold 6. After all, I have a Fold 4 and Fold 3 within my grasp and do rather like the literal flexibility of the phones.
But I’m not.
I’m expecting to see a chip upgrade to the next-generation Fold but not a lot more given the rumors. Samsung is sure to equip the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with all the AI chops it put into the Galaxy S24 series, but I’ve not heard much of any unique features to make the Fold 6’s larger display sing with smart tools. And that’s a pity, so far at least, as I’ve already written how I hope Samsung leans on AI to make the Galaxy Z Fold 6 special.
Of course, all those devices currently exist in the fug of rumors, leaks and speculation. But I’ve been covering Samsung stuff for years, so am rather confident that we’ll see pretty much most of those aforementioned devices.
I’ve not heard a great deal about the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but a recent big leak has sparked the rumors to more than just a little smoldering in the background.
Right, let’s get into it. First off, here’s what I reckon you can expect:
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: going by the rumors so far, expect a small upgrade.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: expect a decent suite of changes, notably an improved camera system.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: an upgrade on the Galaxy Watch 6, so more wellness tracking features, better specs and maybe a refreshed design.
The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: basically Samsung’s clap back at the Apple Watch Ultra.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and Galaxy Buds 3: new wireless earbuds from Samsung to nip at the heels of the AirPods range.
Good morning. Managing Editor of Mobile Computing Roland Moore-Colyer here to take you through the run up to what I’m calling the ‘summer’ Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. Expect to hear about a good handful of products today.
And AI… always AI.
