Samsung is all set to announce its new foldables soon, with a reportedly wider form factor launching for the first time. And the company isn’t leaving anything to guesswork in its new teaser, released in collaboration with Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Samsung took to Instagram, X, and other social media platforms to drop new teasers for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The company has confirmed that its next Unpacked event takes place on July 22 in London, where it’s expected to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, new Flip phones, and new Galaxy watches.
One of the teasers features a Spider-Man postcard with the text “A brand new shape is coming,” with the top half tearing off to reveal the new Spider-Man movie logo and details. The teaser ends with the line “A brand new shape for a brand new day,” clearly hinting at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wider form factor.
For those unaware, Samsung is reportedly launching two Galaxy Z Fold 8 phones this time around, with the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 set to take on Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone. It’ll reportedly have a shorter but wider form factor, almost like a passport, meaning it’ll feel like a true mini tablet when unfolded. This poster teaser seems to be pointing at exactly that.
Another teaser posted on Instagram shows Spider-Man catching a foldable phone, which appears to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Not much else is revealed beyond the collaboration itself, but it’s interesting to see Samsung partnering with Spider-Man for the new Z Fold series.
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long for the full picture. Samsung’s launch event is just about a week away, where we’ll be getting all the details about these upcoming foldable phones.
