Galaxy Z TriFold 2 Is Coming Back in 2027

Quick summary: Three big Samsung stories: Galaxy S27 battery sizes, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 far outselling the Fold 8 Ultra, and a report that the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 launches in 2027 alongside the other foldables.

Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra batteries

Via Ice Universe, citing Galaxy Club, which has a great track record:

• Galaxy S27 Pro, a smaller premium phone: 5,200mAh, more than today’s S26 Ultra.
• Galaxy S27 Ultra: 5,700mAh, up from 5,000mAh.

Yes, some Motorola and Oppo phones have 6,000 or 7,000mAh. But all I really want is to get from wake-up to bedtime, and 5,700mAh should do that.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 is outselling the Ultra

Ice Universe says pre-orders for the regular Fold 8 are far outpacing the Fold 8 Ultra, based on feedback from South Korea and elsewhere. I’m not surprised: my Fold 8 videos get far more views. It might be the best-selling foldable ever, at least until the iPhone foldable arrives. Don’t sleep on the Ultra, though. It isn’t an exciting upgrade over the Fold 7, but its display, cameras, charging and battery are all nicely improved.

Galaxy Z TriFold 2 in 2027

Korean outlet ET News reports Samsung will launch its second-generation TriFold in 2027, creating a “4x4” flagship lineup: the S27, S27+, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra in the first half, then the Z Flip 9, Z Fold 9, Z Fold 9 Ultra and TriFold 2 in the second half. The first TriFold came out in January 2026.

I loved the TriFold: the best battery life I’ve had on a Samsung phone, three full-height apps side by side, and great video, gaming and cameras. My wishlist for the TriFold 2 is less weight and a bigger cover screen. I’d also love it to open once into a regular foldable and again into a tablet, like Huawei’s design, since opening it twice got a little annoying.

My picks

The S27 Pro could be the big seller, the S27 Ultra’s battery is interesting, I’m excited for the TriFold 2, and I wouldn’t be shocked if Samsung changes the Fold Ultra a lot to boost interest. I’ll do a separate video on where I think the Fold 9 is heading.
