Samsung's Unpacked event will take place on July 22 in London. The company will unveil its latest lineup of foldables, including the eighth-generation Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, alongside other Galaxy products, like a new generation of the Galaxy Watch and maybe even those teased Galaxy Glasses. 

As is the case with every Samsung launch event, the company is offering a preorder reservation promotion, and this time you could score up to $1,230 off your next Samsung device. While we don't officially know what will be unveiled later this month, we can expect the reservation discount to apply to the company's eighth-generation foldable phones. Read to the end of the article to learn about the preorder deal. 

Samsung kept Unpacked's details to a minimum, but said that the new devices will "build on its leadership in foldables" and blend AI capabilities with new form factors.

What to expect 

Historically, Samsung launches its Z Fold and Z Flip series at its summer Unpacked event, and this year is shaping up to be no different. Rumors suggest that we'll get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Wide. Two new smartwatches are headed for their July debut, according to rumors. Samsung is ditching the Classic design this year and will reportedly unveil the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.

The real show-stopper, however, comes in the form of Samsung's long-awaited Galaxy Glasses, which it teased at February's Unpacked event. Will Samsung finally unveil them later this month? You'll have to tune in to find out. 

How to watch

You can follow along on July 22 at 9 a.m. ET on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung's YouTube channel. ZDNET will be attending on the ground, live reporting from the event on the latest announcements. 

How to reserve your preorder 

If you are already sold on a new Samsung Galaxy foldable phone and want to get a deal on it ahead of Unpacked, Samsung is offering a $30 reservation credit when you preorder the device. 

By registering for the preorder discount, you'll automatically get $30 off your next device. On top of that, you'll qualify for enhanced trade-in offers when pre-ordering, netting you up to $1,200 off a new Galaxy device

While it's not confirmed, we can confidently assume that the $1,230 off is the $30 reservation discount, on top of the brand's enhanced trade-in values, for the upcoming Galaxy devices. That's expected to include the three aforementioned foldables.

You can register for the preorder discount, and it's commitment-free. My recommendation? Snag the preorder discount now, so you'll get a price cut in the event that you buy one of Samsung's newly unveiled devices. You can also enter for a chance to win one of ten $500 Samsung.com gift cards.
