Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 might be released on July 22 alongside a new S Pen — here's what we know

If you're eagerly waiting for the next wave of Samsung Galaxy foldables, you're in luck because we might have just found out when they're set to arrive. According to Korea Economic TV, Samsung is set to release three new foldables on July 22. That's release, not launch, which suggests that Galaxy Unpacked will be even sooner.

The report doesn't mention when Galaxy Unpacked will be, but it does claim that the event will take place in London. It's unclear why London has been chosen, but since the summer Unpacked events tend to move around from country to country, I guess it had to land in London at some point.

The three foldables in question are likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. The Z Fold Wide is a new design that's rumored to be more of a square shape when unfolded, and similar in appearance to the upcoming iPhone Fold.

The report claims that the Z Fold wide may also come with an advantage, thanks to a new type of S Pen. S Pen support was pulled from foldables with the release of the Z Fold 7, much to the chagrin of Z Fold fans. This was down to Samsung removing the digitizer layer from the screen, which was reportedly done to reduce thickness.

There have been rumors that Samsung was developing a stylus that didn't rely on the digitizer layer, and if this report is accurate, we might see it debut on the Z Fold Wide and Z Fold 8. That would help give Samsung a slight advantage over the iPhone Fold and other foldables, many of which don't support powered styluses.

Since the July 22 release date is still a few months away, we're unlikely to get any confirmation on this for a while. In the meantime, be sure to check out the latest news and rumors in our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 hub.
