AT A GLANCE
Samsung gave a sneak peek of the "brand new shape" for its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 in a new teaser for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The video includes a few shots of Spidey taking a foldable phone off a 3D printer and opening it book-style, but each shot is heavily obscured by lens flares.
This is likely the redesigned Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is rumored to have a wider, passport-like shape. Apple is also rumored to be readying a foldable iPhone with a similar design, which could launch later this year. Samsung's expected to announce the wider Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the rest of its new lineup of devices, at a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22nd.
