Samsung swings in with Spider-Man to tease the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s ‘new shape’

Prakhar Khanna / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung is teasing the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8’s new wider shape with a clip from Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The clip refers to a mysterious (not!) device in a “new shape perfect for communicating.” Samsung proudly claims that the movie is rife with appearances of Samsung devices and possibly also features the Z Fold 8. Samsung has dropped a new teaser for the upcoming Galaxy foldables featuring in an actual clip from the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The clip is endowed with a galore of Galaxy devices — mostly foldables and a Galaxy Watch (presumably the Ultra). Samsung appears to be using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Flip 7, which supposedly serve as the primary devices used by the main characters, including Ned, played by Jacob Batalon.The clip also shows Peter Parker having upgraded to a budget version of Tony Stark’s JARVIS, an intelligent system that helps craft newer Samsung phones for Spidey to take on missions. Along with these devices, the clip also features a new device claimed to be “one step ahead.” The device is said to come in “a new shape perfect for communicating.” Of course, that alludes to the wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 that Samsung has also been teasing using different media, which is about as subtle as a sledgehammer.The clip also name-drops Detective DeWolff, likely Captain Jean DeWolff from the comics, who has not appeared in live-action movies yet.The clip also features Spidey Tracker, an app Ned supposedly builds to keep a tab on the friendly neighborhood web-slinger. Jacob Batalon, the actor who plays Ned in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, is also joining Samsung’s roster of brand ambassadors.Even though it looks like an ad, Samsung insists it’s part of a deeper brand integration in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Despite the integration, Samsung appears to have missed the opportunity to use tickets for the movie’s July 31 release as part of its pre-order offers for the upcoming Galaxy Z lineup.Thank you for being part of our community.
