The Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra will be Samsung's flagship foldable phone in 2027. It will succeed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and go head-to-head with Apple's rumored second-generation iPhone Duo.
The foldable device could bring improved durability, faster performance, better screens and cameras, and longer battery life compared to its predecessor.
Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra could feature an ultra-tall form factor. It could use an Advanced Armor Aluminum frame with Corning Gorilla Glass protection on both the front and rear. The phone will likely feature an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance to match the iPhone Duo.
The device is expected to sport an ultra-slim (9mm or thinner) and lightweight design, along with a side-mounted fingerprint reader. It could have a rectangular camera bar instead of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra's vertical camera island.
