Spider-Man may rely on his Spidey senses to empower his action in Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but a quick peek at the trailer for the upcoming film—exclusively in theaters July 31—and it’s clear he’s also powered by something else: Cool new tech.

One glimpse of the film’s trailer and you can see that Spidey and his pals can’t seem to get by without a foldable device of some kind, ready to keep them confidently connected while apart. This is where Samsung Galaxy comes in. Their newest generation of foldable technology—flip phone included—delivers next-level innovation, so much so that even a superhero like Spider-Man relies on it to power his action-filled day.

Without it, how else could Spider-Man’s alter ego, Peter Parker, keep his finger on the pulse of what’s happening—or even just keep tabs on his no-longer-best friends? Enter tech that enables seamless multitasking and communication, but also a way to cure Peter Parker’s FOMO. (That opening trailer shot of him peeking in on videos of his friends via his Flip? Poor guy.)

It also powers best-in-class connectivity, critical for the Spidey Tracker, an interactive experience powered by Samsung Galaxy and developed in the film by Ned Leeds (the character played by Jacob Batalon) on a Samsung Galaxy device to track Spider-Man’s whereabouts.

Bottom line: The collaboration between Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Samsung Galaxy reinforces something we inherently know: Foldable devices of this kind serve as a critical resource when it comes to staying connected to the friends, family and communities we love during the moments that define us. The good news: Spidey’s not the only one with access to this cutting-edge tech. In fact, there’s a foldable device that’s just right for everyone. More to come in the following weeks, but you can reserve yours now on samsung.com.

About Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day

It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
