Summary
Samsung is preparing five foldable phones for 2027, adding a second wide foldable alongside the expected Z Fold 9, Z Fold 9 Ultra, Z Flip 9 and Z TriFold 2.
The expansion follows the Galaxy Z Fold 8's strong launch, with the model setting sales records globally and leading South Korean preorders across Samsung smartphone lineups.
The new device is only described as a wide foldable so far, leaving Samsung's differentiation from the Z Fold 9 unclear.
Earlier reports said one of the two wide foldables could target video viewing with a 16:9 or 16:10-style aspect ratio, extending Samsung's push beyond the Z Fold 8's 5.5-inch cover-screen formula.
