If you still doubted it, a new Samsung Galaxy Z foldable this seems to be a safe bet for the future of the company Galaxy unboxed event this month – a Spider-Man related teaser released on X Wednesday pretty much confirms it. And it’s probably the Z Fold 8 or one of the expected variantsas rumors indicate.
Samsung highlighted its connection with a new film Spider-Man: A Whole New Day for a while, including the launch of a working Spider-Man tracking site that mimics the one appearing in the upcoming film.
While promoting the tracker showed the running site on the screen of a foldable model, in the latest teaser we can see a bit of the exterior, including the profile of the folded halves of the phone when closed. Because this is Spider-Man, the phone is shown being snatched out of the air by one of his web shooters.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8, or whatever it’s called, is said to feature a new, wider passport-style chassis. The teaser image suggests this might be true, but it also hides the phone’s width with a cleverly placed flare.
The post also links to Samsung’s site, where you can reserve a mystery phone (“your next Galaxy device”) before unboxing it in exchange for a chance to win a $500 Samsung gift card and a $30 “gift” that can only be applied to a second device you purchase at the same time.
This may not be enough to reduce the potentially high price of upcoming models. Phone prices are increasing as well as those of many electronic devices, including consumer products laptops, external storage devices, game consoles and much more, thanks to current shortage of memory and components caused by the reallocation of RAM resources towards more lucrative AI-related sales.
Regardless of their price, the new foldables are expected to be revealed at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked on July 22 in London.
