Samsung has cleared its social media accounts and launched a highly cryptic teaser campaign. The videos, almost ASMR, show everyday scenes with strong visual symbolism. The goal is to hint at the upcoming foldable devices, widely expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8.
The ASMR videos and their clues
The first video shows a photo booth printout featuring four images of a woman and her dog. The print has a top border with the word "Snapply". Someone cuts it off, revealing "Cut to what matters". The second video features a pepperoni pizza: a pizza cutter slides out a small rectangular shape, and the phrase "A whole new slice" appears. The third video is a tiny dog puzzle: removing the top row of pieces reveals "Feels just right". The fourth, perhaps most telling, shows paint drops on a white palette. A squeegee mixes the colors and reveals the number 8 along with "Bold stroke" and "New shape".
The meaning behind the symbols
All these clues seem to point to design, shape, and aspect ratio. The word "shape" appears in several videos. The number 8 is a clear reference to the eighth generation of Samsung foldables, i.e., Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8. There are also rumors of a new wider device, which fits the "new shape" idea. Samsung itself stated via email that it wants to "reset" after seven generations, taking a different approach to build anticipation.

An interesting detail: both the puzzle and paint videos are, according to fine print, AI-generated videos with edits. Could they have been created on the new devices themselves? Only time will tell. The campaign is deliberately devoid of product details, encouraging guesswork. Recurring shapes and patterns are intentional.
What to expect from the upcoming Unpacked
The July Unpacked event is imminent, and Samsung is playing the mystery card. Besides the two foldables, there could be software updates and accessories. The marketing strategy departs from the past, focusing on emotional and visual engagement rather than technical specs. To stay updated, follow Samsung's official social channels, where more hints will likely emerge in the coming days.

In a tech landscape where even giants like Google face unexpected bugs on their smartphones, Samsung chooses a creative path to capture attention. Meanwhile, recent policy decisions in AI show how dynamic the tech sector is. With this campaign, Samsung demonstrates a desire to redefine how it communicates its products, betting on suspense and visual storytelling.
