Samsung may launch five Galaxy Z devices in H2 2027, leak reveals internal codenames
A new leak detailing internal codenames suggests Samsung could expand its Galaxy Z family in the second half of 2027 with up to five distinct foldable and hybrid devices. The information, if accurate, points to broader experimentation with form factors including classic Flip and Fold models, an Ultra variant, a tri-fold successor, and a possible rollable.
Models spotted and codename mapping
– B9 — reported to correspond to the Galaxy Z Flip 9
– H9 — reported to correspond to the Galaxy Z Fold 9
– Q9 — described as a Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra; Q9 is listed in two variants (A and B)
– Q9A — reportedly the “classic” Fold 9 Ultra
– Q9B — reportedly the successor to the Galaxy Z TriFold
Z9: a potential rollable
The leak also highlights a Z9 codename whose hardware is described as “closer to a tablet than a phone,” fueling speculation that it could be Samsung’s first rollable-format smartphone. This aligns with prior demonstrations from Samsung Display showing rollable panels and suggests the company is exploring tablet-like experiences in a phone-sized device.
Timing and strategic implications
The timeline referenced in the leak points to launches in the second half of 2027. If these devices materialize, Samsung would markedly broaden its foldable portfolio—covering Flip, standard Fold, an Ultra Fold, a tri-fold successor, and a rollable—indicating a strategy focused on format differentiation and product experimentation.
Caveat
These details come from internal sources and have not been confirmed by Samsung. They nevertheless offer a window into potential Galaxy Z development directions for 2027.
