Remember just a few days ago, a report from Korea mentioned Samsung launching eight flagship devices next year, including four foldables like the Flip9, Fold9, Fold9 Ultra, and even the TriFold 2? Well, it seems the story doesn't end there. Today, a different source revealed the codenames for Samsung's 2027 foldable lineup, and this lineup includes five new devices with the codenames B9, H9, Q9A, Q9B, and Z9.
Let's break this down a bit. The codename for the Flip8 was B8, so it's quite obvious that B9 is the Flip9. This confirms that this model hasn't been canceled, as a previous rumor suggested. The same applies to the Fold9; the codename for the Fold8 was H8, making H9 the Fold9. That part is simple and clear.
But what about Q9A and Q9B? These two names seem to point to two entirely new models or perhaps different versions of the same device, opening the door for speculation about phones with unique designs or additional features. The presence of five codenames suggests a significant expansion in Samsung's foldable portfolio. If these reports are accurate, we'll see a much broader range of foldable devices, giving us greater flexibility in choosing the phone that suits our needs. This means competition in the foldable phone market will intensify, pushing companies to deliver their best.
