en.Wedoany.com Reported - Samsung plans to launch a new foldable smartphone in 2026, which will feature ultra-thin glass (UTG) with a thickness of approximately 60 microns, an increase of over 30% compared to the 45-micron glass used in the Galaxy Z Fold8.

Samsung intends to release three foldable smartphones this year, including the Galaxy Z Flip8 with a 6.9-inch screen, the Galaxy Z Fold8 with an 8.0-inch screen, and a new model with a 7.6-inch screen. The new model adopts a wider body ratio, with a shorter device height but significantly greater overall width than traditional Fold models.

In recent years, Samsung has been adjusting its strategy for the thickness of foldable screen protective glass. Previously, the focus was on making UTG as thin as possible, with thickness once reduced to around 30 microns, but the current emphasis has shifted to enhancing strength. Thicker glass helps reduce the visibility of screen creases and improves resistance to external impacts. In contrast, thinner screens, while more resistant to repeated folding, are more prone to creasing and damage from impacts.
