Samsung Says Its Next Galaxy Z Foldables Will Be Its 'Thinnest, Lightest'

Another week, another cryptic teaser for Samsung's upcoming foldables. 

On Monday, the company said in a blog post that its "newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet." This comes after Samsung last week teased a foldable packing " an Ultra-experience ," including a "powerful camera" and "AI-powered tools."

Now, it appears Samsung is borrowing from the design of another one of its phones, the slim and lightweight Galaxy S25 Edge . It's also following in the footsteps of another skinny foldable, the Oppo Find N5 , which is dubbed "the world's thinnest book-style foldable when closed." Whether Oppo will hold onto that title after Samsung's reveal remains to be seen.

In its post, Samsung notes that, "it's only natural that users desire a foldable device that is as easy to carry as it is to use. To that end, Samsung engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter and more durable than the last."

Personally, I'm all for a thinner and lighter foldable; the Galaxy S25 Edge and Oppo Find N5 really opened my eyes to how much more enjoyable using a slim and lightweight device can be. I can see the Galaxy Z Fold especially benefitting from this redesign, since the Z Fold 6 is still pretty bulky. But even a slim Galaxy Z Flip could help revive the nostalgia of a skinny flip phone, perhaps even better than the modern-day Motorola Razr . 

Samsung's new Galaxy Z foldables are slated to arrive in the summer, and it appears the company will keep dropping hints about what's in store leading up to the full reveal.
