Samsung has partnered with Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios to promote the upcoming movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as well as its upcoming foldable phones. Samsung has been releasing several social media teaser videos in the lead-up to the Galaxy Unpacked event, including the fabulous Spider-Man tracker, an interactive fan site that lets you be the “guy in the chair.”
But in a recent video posted on Samsung Mobile USA’s Instagram page, Spider-Man returns home, takes out a broken phone and throws it onto a container filled with other broken phones. Clearly, Peter Parker isn’t familiar with Samsung’s durable phone, the Galaxy XCover7 Pro, which has a military-grade design.
The video continues with Parker’s computer saying it came up with a better design. And then it starts “printing” a Galaxy Z Flip 8, which Spider-Man fetches with a web. The computer prints out an additional device, the Galaxy Z Fold 8. (It’s obscured by a lens flare – when did J.J. Abrams get here?) Spider-Man opens the Z Fold 8, and checks out its wider-screen design.
So did Spider-Man (or rather his computer) make the Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8? If so, that might cause some patent problems for Samsung.
