Samsung’s Next Unpacked Could Bring Two Galaxy Z Fold 8 Models

A global RAM shortage is shaping what Samsung can deliver, with the Z Flip 8 tipped for modest refinements rather than a redesign.

samsung's next unpacked could bring two galaxy z fold 8 models

Samsung has set its next Galaxy Unpacked event for July 22 in London, and the company is keeping details close, saying only that it “will introduce its latest Galaxy innovations that build on its leadership in foldables”. The rumor mill has so far been considerably less restrained.

Leaks point to two or three new phones, headlined by what would be a first for Samsung: two book-style foldables launched at the same event. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is rumored to get a wider main display, giving movies and shows a better aspect ratio when the phone is opened. The trade-off may come at the back, where the base model is tipped to carry two rear cameras rather than the three found on the Z Fold 7.

Above it would sit the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, a new top-tier model said to feature display technology that makes the crease less visible, an updated processor, three rear cameras and possibly faster charging. There is room for skepticism about how the features shake out between the two models — a wider display arguably belongs on the flagship rather than the base device — but Samsung’s cryptic social media teasers about a wider phone suggest real changes are coming to the Fold line either way.

A Galaxy Z Flip 8 is all but certain, with a reworked hinge, improved performance and potentially a lighter chassis. A major redesign looks unlikely, though: the global RAM shortage has reportedly made bigger upgrades cost-prohibitive this year.

The Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Samsung’s Android XR glasses could also make an appearance, although some or all of those may be held back until later in the fall. Ahead of the event, Samsung has opened reservations that come with a $30 credit for anyone who pre-orders.

The presentation streams live on Samsung.com and Samsung’s YouTube channel at 9 AM ET on July 22.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
