Samsung teases Galaxy S27 plans, foldable lineup expansion, more

In its latest earnings call, Samsung has teased its plans for the Galaxy S27 as well as new foldables and its Android XR glasses. As RAMageddon rages on – with no signs of slowing – Samsung posted yet another operating loss in its mobile division. Daniel Araujo, VP of Samsung’s mobile division, says to expect “a series of promotional campaigns during the year‑end peak season” around Samsung’s flagship Galaxy devices. He adds that Samsung’s holiday plans include the “release of smart glasses,” referring to the long-awaited Android XR specs set to debut before the year is out. Samsung, nor Google, have officially confirmed launch plans for this first run. More exciting, though, are Samsung’s plans for 2027. Araujo specifically teased the “next-generation S series,” referring to Galaxy S27, which will include “distinct character of each model.” That reads as a subtle hint of Samsung’s plans to add a new “Pro” device as well as make design changes to Galaxy S27 Ultra. Also teased are “groundbreaking form factors” and new foldable designs that “align with consumers’ real-world lifestyles,” presumably referring to rumors of another new Galaxy Z Fold 9 addition.
