ⓘ Samsung
Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra (left) and Galaxy Z Fold8 (right) in late July 2026.
Samsung is gearing up for a big 2027 with the release of not three but up to five new foldable devices. Interestingly, this lineup will include another wide Galaxy Z Fold model, taking the total number of wide Galaxy Z Fold phones to two.
Samsung anticipated the direction Apple’s upcoming debut foldable iPhone would take and released its first wide aspect ratio Galaxy Z Fold8 in July. The move seems to have worked, as the Galaxy Z Fold8 has reportedly sold very well. This seems to have inspired Samsung to capitalize on the market’s love for a wide foldable and prepare not one but two wide Galaxy Z Fold smartphones for 2027.
The report comes to us courtesy of ETNews (via Ice Universe on X). The report claims that Samsung is preparing five new foldable Galaxy Z models for 2027. This alleged list includes:
The wide Galaxy Z Fold9A separate wide-screen Galaxy Z Fold9 modelThe Galaxy Z Fold9 Ultra with a tall screenThe Galaxy Z TriFold2, a successor to 2025’s Galaxy Z TriFoldThe Galaxy Z Flip9
Interestingly, Samsung seems to have found confidence in the Galaxy Z TriFold after a limited launch that saw the phone discontinued after three months. We can assume that Samsung will iron out the kinks of the first-gen Galaxy Z TriFold and make the Galaxy Z TriFold2 more portable and, hopefully, a bit cheaper.
For the second wide Galaxy Z Fold model, it is reasonable to expect that Samsung could look at making a cheaper version. The current Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at a pretty high $1,899.99. So, Samsung could offer the wide fold in two different flavors that might come at different price points.
