The teaser is on, Samsung is preparing to unveil an "Ultra" version of its foldable smartphone. The South Korean giant confirmed in a blog post on Tuesday, June 3, that the time has come for an experience that "harmoniously combines art and engineering to improve everyday interactions." Forget simple lists of technical specifications, the manufacturer wants to take it to the next level by offering an "Ultra" experience.
Towards an ultra-thin experience
Samsung claims to be listening to its users who want more immersive screens, ever-more powerful photo sensors, and innovative features for creating and connecting, all in a more compact and portable screen. "With cutting-edge hardware, cutting-edge performance, and seamless AI integration optimized for the foldable form factor, this is what users expect from the Galaxy Ultra," the manufacturer assures.
The first sneak peek, an enigmatic GIF shared by Samsung, hints at a particularly thin Galaxy Z Fold. A slimming treatment that is reminiscent of the record-breaking thinness of the Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8 mm) or the even more impressive thinness once unfolded, of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (4.9 mm). Will the future Z Fold7 Ultra push these limits even further? Persistent rumors are already touting it as the world's thinnest folding smartphone.
We remember that Samsung had been manufacturing at the time of launching the Galaxy Z Fold6, a model thinner than its predecessor (5.6 mm), but thicker than the Honor Magic V3 (4.35 mm), the Huawei Mate X6 (4.6 mm) or the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (5.1 mm). This lack of risk-taking had pushed the South Korean firm to quickly launch the Special Edition and it is this model that should serve as the basis for the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra or Z Fold7 Ultra.
A Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra… and a Z Flip7 Ultra?
If the visual focuses on the “book” format (Fold), one detail sows confusion and arouses curiosity. The name of the GIF file is Galaxy Z Fold7 Galaxy Z Flip7 Pre tease, suggesting that the popular Z Flip, with its clamshell format, could also be honored with an Ultra version.
Samsung is playing the mystery card, preferring to focus its initial communication on the Ultra concept rather than on model names. After being the first major manufacturer to launch a folding model in 2019, the brand now wants to reinvent the folding smartphone. And to complete this cleverly orchestrated appetizer, the firm concludes with a rather evocative phrase: "The Ultra experience is ready to unfold". A subtle play on words around the word "unfold" which means both "to unfold," an obvious nod to folding smartphones, and "to unfold," like the experience that Samsung promises to unveil.
Everything therefore seems to indicate that a true Ultra revolution is underway for the Galaxy Z. The date is set for this summer, when Samsung should lift the veil on these devices which are already shaping up to be a major turning point.
