In a surprising shift, the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day features Peter Parker ditching his traditional Sony Xperia phone for a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, a move lauded as more realistic and practical for the superhero.

• The change suggests even Sony Pictures acknowledges the design limitations of their own Xperia line compared to rivals like Samsung.
• The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is highlighted for its durability, pocketability, and versatile features like its cover screen and Flex Mode, which are deemed ideal for Spider-Man's lifestyle.
• A special Spider-Man Edition of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected this year, with units available through local Kenyan retailers despite no official local launch last year.
