Samsung plans to release five new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models in 2027, a move that expands the current market for wide and tri-fold smartphones. This strategy targets buyers who want larger displays or alternative form factors beyond the standard clamshell design. The company aims to capitalize on the reported success of its recent wide foldable devices.
Samsung plans to release five new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models in 2027, a move that expands the current market for wide and tri-fold smartphones.
The upcoming lineup includes two wide Galaxy Z Fold9 variants, a Galaxy Z Fold9 Ultra with a tall screen, a Galaxy Z TriFold2, and a Galaxy Z Flip9. These models build on the foundation laid by the wide Galaxy Z Fold8, which reportedly sold very well after its July release. Samsung intends to double down on these specific form factors to meet growing consumer demand for versatile screens.
Samsung may introduce a cheaper wide foldable variant to compete with the current $1,899.99 starting price of the Z Fold8. The Galaxy Z TriFold2 is expected to address portability and pricing issues from the discontinued first-generation TriFold. This new tri-fold device aims to be more portable and cheaper than its predecessor to attract a broader audience.
