Samsung's Galaxy Ultra Reveal Suggests a Bigger Foldable Future

One of Samsung's latest blog posts strongly hints that its next Galaxy Ultra will be foldable. The post says, "The Ultra experience is ready to unfold," which stands out because the Ultra line has never featured a folding design before; that's been reserved for the Galaxy Z series. What this means isn't totally clear yet—maybe the Galaxy Fold gets pulled into the S26 lineup, or we see an entirely new model, like a Fold Ultra.

What is clear, however, is that foldables might be the future of how we interact with our smartphones. Samsung's upcoming changes make it clear that the company sees the foldable format as ready for the spotlight. And they're not alone: Apple is reportedly working on a foldable iPhone, which would basically guarantee the format goes mainstream. These devices offer things traditional phones can't, like better portability and multitasking. If both major players go all-in, foldable could quickly become the new default.
