The final Galaxy Watch 8 leaks

Just to complete the set, Roland Quandt’s Bluesky leaks also reveal the marketing slides for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and new Galaxy Watch Ultra.
We’ve already heard a lot about the Galaxy Watch 8 in the past few days – including the fact that we’ll likely be getting three models. Those should the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, alongside the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
That would be a switch-up from last year, when we got the standard Watch and Ultra, but no Classic. But this new Classic model does look lovely, with the return of the rotating bezel for scrolling, plus a powerful 3nm processor, bump to 64GB storage and a Quick Button on the side.
While the Galaxy Watch Ultra sounds powerful (more on that shortly), the new Classic could well be the most desirable smartwatch that Samsung announces today.

Naturally, Roland Quandt has also spilled the beans on the Z Flip 7 (above) – the marketing slides appear to confirm some of the recent leaks we’ve seen elsewhere. In other words, a fairly minor refresh.
The headline change appears to be the new ‘Flex Window’, or cover display, which has now expanded to wrap around the cameras. We don’t get a size in this leak, but previous rumors have predicted that it’ll expand from 3.4in on the Z Flip 6 to 4.1in on the Z Flip 7. That’ll help it surface glanceable info like the date and time, and your morning brief.
Something we do get confirmation of (if the leak is accurate) is that the main display will be expanding from 6.7in to 6.9in, while the phone will be marginally slimmer (losing 0.4mm in thickness when unfolded). There should also be a larger 4,300mAH battery, up from 4,000mAh, which will hopefully translate to a battery life boost.
Nothing groundbreaking, then, but this should also back up rumors of an identical starting price to the Z Flip 6. If so, expect it to cost from $1,099.99 / £1,049 / AU$1,799, or perhaps even slightly less.

A deluge of Z Fold 7 leaks

Talk about bursting Samsung’s bubble – the trusty Roland Quandt has just leaked what appear to be entire marketing materials for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 on Bluesky.
There isn’t much we haven’t already seen in recent leaks. It will seemingly have a bigger screen than the Z Fold 6, with a 6.5in cover screen and an 8in main screen. Those would be a step up from the current version’s 6.3in cover and 7.6in main displays.
Elsewhere, it’ll seemingly be thinner when folded (by 3.2mm) and weigh a barely-noticeable 24g less. But the biggest upgrade could be the new 200MP main camera, which is expected to be the same as the one on the Z Fold Special Edition. Quite the step up from the 50MP main camera of the Z Fold 6.
What we don’t get from these leaks are pricing. Some credible leaks suggest it could cost the same as its predecessor, so starting $1,899.99 / £1,799 / AU$2,749. Given the upgrade, that would be impressive. I still think there’s a chance of a small bump, but that’s something we’ll find out for sure later.
