Samsung Teaser Hints at How It’s (Literally) Reshaping Its Foldable Phones


As the weather heats up, so do the rumors surrounding Samsung’s latest foldable phones — presumably the next versions of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Now, the company is adding fuel to the speculation with its own teasers that hint at what’s to come.

Samsung wiped its Instagram feed on Monday, and it’s now dropping some cryptic, artistically driven videos that encourage viewers to decode what may be in store. They could point to how Samsung is shaping — quite literally — its upcoming foldable devices. 

In one video, someone cuts the top portion off of a rectangular photo, reducing its height. In another, someone takes a pizza cutter to the center of a pie, serving up a rectangular piece with on-screen text reading: “A whole new slice.” In yet another teaser, someone removes the top row from a small puzzle, before on-screen text appears saying, “Feels just right.”

One video appears to confirm that the eighth generation of foldables could be imminent. It shows someone using a squeegee on dollops of paint to reveal a pink and purple ombre “8.”

For months, rumors have circulated about a potential Galaxy Z Fold 8 “Wide,” which, as the name suggests, would have a wider but shorter screen. Samsung’s latest teasers could therefore be pointing to a redesign for its upcoming foldables. 

The next Z Fold and Z Flip phones will have some fresh competition. In the spring, Motorola’s released its newest foldables, including its first book-style Razr Fold. A new Pixel Fold and the highly anticipated (and long rumored) foldable iPhone could also be around the corner, the latter of which is also rumored to have a wider-format design.

Samsung has yet to announce its summer Unpacked event, during which it’s expected to showcase new foldable phones alongside the next iteration of the Galaxy Watch. It may only be a matter of time before the company drops that hint — or shares the news outright.
