NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was seen using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 when U.S. President Donald Trump called him during a live panel at the All-In Summit 2026 in Los Angeles. Huang unfolded the phone, switched the call to speaker and briefly gave the audience a look at the device.
The incident was reported by The Korea Herald and Seoul Economic Daily. The latter said the phone screen showed the caller name “President Trump”.

Samsung Electronics executive chairman Lee Jae-yong gave him that phone, according to reports, but there is no confirmation that the Galaxy Z Fold8 came from Samsung or that Huang bought it himself.
