On July 1, Samsung Electronics released a teaser video for the 8th generation foldable phones through its global official Instagram and YouTube channels. The video features scenes using everyday items, such as breaking a long chocolate bar or tearing a photo sticker, to highlight the new proportions and forms of the upcoming foldable phones. This hints at a wider screen aspect ratio compared to previous models and suggests that a new “Wide Fold” form factor may be added to the lineup.

The teaser also suggests that, in addition to the enhanced performance of the Fold and the unique usability of the Flip, there will be a new option offering a wider, more natural, and immersive experience. This 8th generation lineup is based on foldable technology and consumer insights accumulated over the years.

Since introducing its first Galaxy Fold in 2018, Samsung Electronics has pioneered the foldable phone sector, focusing on developing foldable structures into mobile experiences suitable for daily life. The Galaxy Z Fold has emphasized multitasking and productivity on a large screen, while the Galaxy Z Flip has highlighted compact portability and unique usability. With each generation, the company has innovated both usability and performance, enabling users to choose foldable phones according to their individual needs.

A representative from Samsung Electronics stated, "Rather than simply increasing the number of products, we are expanding the range of foldable experiences for the AI era, based on the technology and user understanding built over seven generations." The company added, "By providing options tailored to different user needs, we aim to answer the question not just of 'Why foldables?' but also, 'Which foldable is right for me?'"
