"According to sources familiar with Samsung's manufacturing, the company is developing a device internally referred to as the 'Wide Fold' (directly translated from Google Translate). It will be a shorter and wider version of the current Galaxy Z Fold 7 -- like the 2021-launched Oppo Find N and the original."
"The upcoming wide-screen Galaxy Fold is said to have a 7.6-inch OLED screen on the inside, which is 0.4 inches less than the Fold 7. It may not seem significant on paper, but the primary difference lies in the aspect ratio. Instead of Fold 7's squarish design, the wide-screen Fold will open into a 4:3 aspect ratio."
"I believe this would be a great alternative for those who want a foldable phone primarily for watching videos, but don't want to get a thick Galaxy Z TriFold. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was my favorite phone of 2025, thanks to its improved readability and overall form factor. However, it may not be the first choice for someone seeking a foldable phone for consuming video content."
Samsung is developing a new foldable phone internally called the 'Wide Fold,' featuring a 7.6-inch OLED display with a 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded. This device will be shorter and wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, similar to the Oppo Find N design. The company plans to produce a million units, capitalizing on the expected growth in the foldable phone market in 2026. This new model targets users who prioritize video consumption and seek an alternative to both the standard Fold 7 and the thicker TriFold, offering a balanced form factor between existing foldable options.
