Leaked plans suggest Samsung is expanding its foldable range in 2027 with new models, including an additional Fold, a TriFold, and possible rollable devices, signalling a shift towards diversified form factors and premium offerings.
Samsung could be preparing its broadest Galaxy Z range yet for 2027, according to a leak cited by ETNews and echoed by other industry reports. The claimed line-up would include the Galaxy Z Fold9, Fold9 Ultra, Flip9, a second Fold model aimed more squarely at entertainment, and a next-generation TriFold with wider availability.
The most notable change is the suggested addition of a second Fold rather than a replacement model. That would extend a strategy Samsung has already begun to build around the Fold8 generation, where the company split its premium foldables into clearer roles rather than relying on one design to do everything.
Samsung’s own Fold8 launch messaging supports that direction. In official announcements, the company positioned the standard Fold8 as a more immersive device, the Fold8 Ultra as the productivity-led option, and the Flip8 as the model for self-expression. The reported 2027 plan would add another layer to that segmentation, giving Samsung a mainstream Fold, an entertainment-focused Fold and a top-end Ultra variant.
The leak also suggests the Galaxy Z Flip9 is still in development, despite earlier speculation that Samsung might cut back the clamshell line or replace it with a cheaper FE model. Instead, the affordable variant appears to have fallen away, while the standard Flip remains in the roadmap. That would leave Samsung concentrating on higher-margin premium foldables rather than broadening into a lower-cost tier.
Another point of interest is the TriFold. Recent reports from SamMobile and Gizchina point to a fifth device in the 2027 foldable family, with one report suggesting Samsung may even be exploring a rollable concept alongside the TriFold successor. For now, that remains speculative, but it underlines how aggressively Samsung appears to be diversifying its form factors as rivals pursue thinner books, lighter designs and their own multi-fold hardware.
