samsung sets july 9 for unpacked event new foldables expected

Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, with a livestream available via Samsung.com and YouTube. The company is expected to unveil the latest models in its Galaxy Z series of foldable phones, alongside updates to its AI-powered features.

In recent promotional material, Samsung has signaled a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence. One release describes its evolving product line as “anticipatory smart companions,” reflecting the company’s broader investment in AI across its S-series, foldables, and even budget devices.

The Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are likely to headline the event. While Samsung hasn’t named these models directly, several statements point to thinner, lighter versions of its existing foldables. One release describes the upcoming devices as “the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet,” suggesting a design shift aimed at improving portability and addressing bulk concerns when closed.

AI-powered photography is also expected to feature prominently. In a separate release, Samsung outlined plans to enhance camera functions using AI, particularly in combination with foldable displays. The company claims these updates will make image capture and editing more dynamic and responsive.

Though no pricing details have been confirmed, the Z Fold series typically sits at the high end of Samsung’s portfolio. While the S25 Ultra is still expected to retain the company’s most advanced camera system, the new foldables may introduce AI tools tailored to their flexible form factors.

More detailed announcements — including hardware specifications and software features — are expected during the event. Tech Magazine will provide full coverage of the Unpacked keynote and product reveals on July 9.

A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.

The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.

For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.

The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.

Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.

For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
