Samsung is upping its foldables game.

In a somewhat vague press release on Wednesday, the company announced the "next chapter of Ultra," which apparently means the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra is going foldable. Or is Samsung Galaxy Z Fold going Ultra? We're not sure.

According to the company, its customers demand "an Ultra-experience that goes beyond a simple list of upgraded features in a smaller and more portable form factor." The press release goes on to describe a foldable phone with a "powerful camera," and (of course) "seamless AI integration," without delving into details.

So, what do we really know? Well, Samsung is launching a foldable Galaxy Ultra phone this summer, probably in July. Judging by the teaser video, it's going to be a large, vertically foldable device, so think a successor to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It's unclear whether the Ultra moniker simply means it will be a more powerful Galaxy Z Fold, or will the phone differ from Samsung's foldable flagship in other ways.

Thanks to rumors, we do know a little bit about Samsung's upcoming foldable, though. One recent report claimed that it will be extremely thin, at just 8.2 millimeters folded. We've also heard that it will have a 200-megapixel main camera, a new under-display camera, and a 4,400mAh battery.
