If you still doubted it, a new Samsung Galaxy Z foldable looks like a sure thing for the company’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event this month — a Spider-Man tie-in teaser posted on X on Wednesday pretty much confirms it. And it’s likely the Z Fold 8 or one of the expected variants , as rumors indicate. Samsung’s been playing up its tie-in with new movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day for a while, including its launch of a functional Spider-Man tracking site that mimics the one appearing in the upcoming movie. While the tracker promotion showed the site running on the screen of a foldable model, in the latest teaser, we can see a bit of the outside, including the profile of the phone’s folded halves when closed. Because it’s Spider-Man, the phone is shown being snatched out of the air by one of his web shooters. The drop of the summer is almost within reach. 💯 #GalaxyUnpacked #Samsung Reserve now: https://t.co/dTlilFNoHy See #SpiderManBrandNewDay exclusively in Theaters July 31st! @spidermanmovie pic.twitter.com/lp5NtvGdeS — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) July 8, 2026 The Galaxy Z Fold 8, or whatever it will be called, is rumored to feature a new, wider passport-style chassis. The teaser image suggests that might be true, but it also masks the width of the phone 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 Unpacked 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. That may not be enough to make a dent in the potentially high price of upcoming models. Phone prices are rising along with those of many electronics, including consumer laptops , external storage devices , gaming consoles and more, thanks to the current memory- and component-supply shortage caused by RAM resources being reallocated toward more lucrative AI-related sales. Whatever their cost, the new foldables are expected to be unveiled at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked on July 22 in London.
