Spider-Man Is Joining Forces with Samsung: A Sneak Peek at the Next Galaxy Foldables?

If you’re a fan of both high-tech gear and wall-crawling heroes, mark your calendar for July 31. That’s when Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits cinemas worldwide, and it looks like Peter Parker is bringing some serious hardware along for the ride. In a high-profile product placement deal, Spidey himself will be wielding the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, while his partner-in-crime Ned Leeds will be busy tracking him using a Galaxy Z Fold and a Galaxy Watch.

To get everyone hyped for the partnership, Samsung just released a teaser image that has the rumor mill spinning overtime. Many are speculating that the device featured isn’t just a current model, but the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.

Is This Our First Look at the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

The timing here is key. With Samsung’s next major Unpacked event scheduled for July 22, it would be strange for the movie to highlight a year-old handset just days after the successor has been announced. The device in the imagery shares the aspect ratio of the current Fold7, suggesting we are looking at the next evolution of the lineup.

Meanwhile, those looking for a wider form factor won’t be left out—rumors point to the standard Galaxy Z Fold8 adopting that long-awaited wider foldable design. As for the other tech? It’s a safe bet that the Flip appearing on screen is the new Galaxy Z Flip8, though the watch remains a bit of a toss-up between the standard Galaxy Watch9 and a potential Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.

Get in on the Action: The Spidey Tracker

Beyond the silver screen, Samsung is bringing the movie magic to your fingertips with the Spidey Tracker. Launching in 35 countries, this interactive website mirrors the tech Ned Leeds uses in the film to keep tabs on Spider-Man. It’s essentially a live, fan-focused hub where you can follow sightings and dive deeper into the story in real-time.

Jeffrey Godsick, EVP of Global Partnerships at Sony Pictures, noted that the collaboration is all about bridging the gap between our daily tech and Spidey’s world. By integrating real Samsung devices into the narrative, the team hopes to give fans a more immersive experience that feels grounded in reality.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the July 22 Unpacked event to see if these movie-star gadgets officially break cover. Are you excited to see these foldables in action, or are you just here for the webslinging?
