Samsung starts teasing a beefed up Galaxy Z Ultra foldable model
Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its new foldable flagships, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Fold 7. Both smartphones are expected to be introduced in the coming weeks, so it makes sense for the South Korean giant to start hyping its new lineup of foldables.
The first teaser released by Samsung is a bit confusing because it refers to 'an Ultra experience,' which the company believes its fans have been asking for. The short post on its official website then talks about AI and its optimization for the foldable format, something that apparently, 'users have come to expect from Galaxy Ultra.' Up until now, all the leaks about Samsung's upcoming foldable smartphones talked only about three models that the company will unveil this summer: Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 7 , and Galaxy Z Fold 7 . Nowhere is the 'Ultra' model mentioned in any of the leaks from reputable sources.
It doesn't help that Samsung's post is quite confusing, not referring to the 'Ultra' as a different foldable that it plans to reveal along with the other refer. Or maybe there's no 'vanilla' Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung plans to name it 'Ultra' for some reason.

– Samsung, June 2025
Also, the animated image in the teaser clearly looks like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , not the Flip 7 , so it's probably safe to say that there will be a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra (or whatever Samsung decides to name it), and not a Flip 7 Ultra.
If Samsung does indeed prepare to launch an additional foldable that's even better than the 'vanilla' Galaxy Z Fold 7 , then it's probably the best guarded secret in the company's recent history.
Meanwhile, a new leak 'confirmed' the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be available in three colors and at least two storage choices. Samsung is rumored to unveil its new Galaxy Z foldables and Galaxy Watch smartwatches sometime in July, but a date has yet to be announced.

Smartphone shipments in LATAM fall 4% in Q1 2025, Samsung and Xiaomi in the lead
The Latin American smartphone market declined by 4% in Q1 2025 year-on-year, ending a six-quarter growth streak. The region reached 33.7 million shipments, down from 34.9 million last year. Brazil showed a rather modest growth of 3% during the period. Brazil is also the region's biggest market, accounting for 38% of the total smartphone sales. Mexico is the second-biggest market, with 22% of the shipments, but sales dipped by 18%. This sharp decline is likely due to increased competition in 2024, which forced aggressive device renewal. The Central America region ranks third, recording a 7% decline in sales, while Colombia and Peru, fourth and fifth, respectively, also experience declining sales. When it comes to brands, Samsung continues to hold the first place while posting a healthy 7% year-on-year growth, mainly driven by its low-end models. The same goes for Xiaomi, which saw an even bigger 10% growth, again mainly due to its affordable Redmi lineup. Motorola fell to third place and experienced a 13% decline in total sales, while Honor rose to fourth place with 2% more shipments. In contrast, Transsion took the biggest hit with a 38% decline in sales and slipped to fifth place. Analysts think this is due to increased competition and restructuring in channel inventory. Looking ahead, Canalys projects that the LATAM market will contract by 1% in 2025 due to rising economic uncertainties and fear of tariffs. People are putting off non-essential upgrades, extending the upgrade cycle. As an emerging market, Latin America is strongly influenced by geopolitical and global economic headwinds. For example, the rising USA-China tensions could potentially trigger economic instability and inflation in the region. Vendors are also being cautious, though. They've pulled back on aggressive sales strategies and kept inventories low during Q1 2025, which also affected the market performance in the region. Source
