"2025 was a big year for Samsung in foldable phones. It redesigned the to become the lightest book-style folding phone of the year, and unveiled the then-new, two-hinged Galaxy Z TriFold. It appears that the Korean electronics maker is returning to its era of hardware innovation and won't stop anytime soon. A new report by ET News claims that Samsung is developing a million units of a wide-screen Galaxy Fold, which will differ from all existing Galaxy foldable phones."
"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 perfect hybrid of foldable form factors 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. And 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 wide-screen Galaxy Fold internally called the "Wide Fold" and targeting production of around one million units. The device will be shorter and wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, resembling earlier compact wide foldables such as the Oppo Find N. The interior display is reported to be 7.6 inches OLED, about 0.4 inches smaller than the Fold 7, with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The wider aspect ratio is positioned as a better fit for video consumption without adopting the bulkier tri-fold form factor. Expanding foldable options is expected to stimulate the market into 2026.
