Samsung’s Upcoming Galaxy Device Lineup Has Been Leaked
The GIFs give us a 360-degree view of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, two new foldable smartphones, two new smartwatches, and one pair of new wireless earbuds.
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, which will be held on August 11, at 10am EST, most likely won’t be full of surprise revelations. In fact, there most likely won’t be a single surprise because a seasoned leaker Evan Blass has just tweeted what seems to be the entire Galaxy device lineup in the form of GIFs.
The GIFs give us a 360-degree view of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, two new foldable smartphones (Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3), two new smartwatches (Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic), and one pair of new wireless earbuds (Galaxy Buds2).

Right now, the biggest question mark is hanging over the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. In June, a report from Korea said production had stopped due to semiconductor shortage. Samsung responded by saying that “nothing has been determined regarding the alleged production suspension.” If the smartphone makes it to the market, it will basically be a more affordable version of the S21 (the FE actually stands for Fan Edition).
The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 expand the company’s line up of foldable smartphones, offering upgrades specifications and a refined folding mechanism. As their names suggest, the Galaxy Z Fold3 folds along the vertical axis, while the Galaxy Z Flip3 is a modern take on traditional flip phones, which were popular more than a decade ago.

The Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic smartwatches are expected to run Samsung’s new Google-based smartwatch platform, called One UI Watch. Last but not least, the Galaxy Buds2 wireless earbuds promise refined sound quality, improved water resistance, longer battery life, and sleeker design. Their price, however, is yet to be confirmed.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
