In an unexpected turn of events, Samsung seems to be gearing up to enhance its flagship lineup for 2027 with the introduction of five innovative foldable devices. Recent reports from South Korea indicate that the tech giant plans to unveil a total of eight flagship devices next year, including a variety of foldables that aim to reimagine the smartphone experience.
As per a reliable source, the codenames for Samsung's upcoming foldables have emerged, revealing an intriguing lineup: B9, H9, Q9A, Q9B, and Z9. Notably, B9 is reportedly the successor to the Flip8, confirming the anticipated release of the Flip9, while H9 is expected to be the Fold9, following a similar pattern with their predecessors. It appears that Q9A and Q9B will be two variations of a single device, which may include both the Fold9 Ultra and the TriFold 2.
However, the Z9 remains shrouded in mystery. Speculation suggests that this could potentially be Samsung's first smartphone equipped with a rollable display, an idea that has long captivated tech enthusiasts. The source mentions that the Z9 seems to possess more tablet-like features than a traditional smartphone, hinting at an exciting evolution in mobile technology. (Keep in mind, this information was translated from Dutch, which may have led to variations in accuracy).
Although these rumors require cautious interpretation, the demand for a rollable phone has been building for years, and with Samsung Display already manufacturing larger rollable screens for Lenovo laptops, Samsung may very well be on the verge of making history in smartphone design.
