Samsung May Be Preparing a Surprise Device for Next Year
The leak suggests Samsung is expanding beyond its annual foldable updates with a second tri-fold and a rollable tablet, according to reports.
- A new report from GalaxyClub revealed five internal Samsung hardware codenames for 2027: B9, H9, Q9A, Q9B, and Z9, corresponding to the Flip9, Fold9, Fold9 Ultra, TriFold, and a "Rollable Flex" tablet.
- While leaks had suggested the Flip8 might be the final flip-style model, the B9 codename confirms Samsung plans to continue the Flip9 line. The Q9 series includes the Fold9 Ultra and a refined second-generation TriFold.
- Described as a "Rollable Flex" tablet, the Z9 codename represents a device the source said "appears to be more tablet-like than phone-like in terms of hardware." It potentially expands screen area by unrolling horizontally, avoiding a center crease.
- Mainstream foldables including the Fold9, Fold9 Ultra, and Flip9 will likely arrive in summer 2027. The rollable slate remains a long-term project, with rumors suggesting a potential launch in early 2028.
- While this leak remains thin, Samsung Display already produces large rollable screens for Lenovo laptops, fueling speculation about the company's foldable ambitions in a market awaiting a viable rollable smartphone.
