Samsung's 'Wide Fold' May Bring New Dimension to Foldable Phones, Report Says
Samsung aims to maintain foldable phone leadership by developing a 7.6-inch 4:3 display device to compete with Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold in 2026, reports say.
- On December 22, 2025, Etnews reported Samsung is developing a wider foldable with a 7.6-inch internal 4:3 display and a 5.4-inch outer screen for release next year.
- To pre-empt Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold, Samsung is expanding its foldable lineup and experimenting with new form factors to maintain leadership in the foldable market.
- A 4:3 inner display should make the unfolded device feel more like a regular tablet, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses an 8-inch display and Samsung offers the Galaxy Z TriFold and Galaxy Z Flip 7.
- Adding yet another foldable might confuse consumers as Samsung expands its lineup and intensifies rivalry with Apple before its rumored iPhone Fold launch.
- With app support lagging, Android apps lack tablet optimization, while an iPhone Fold matching the Apple iPad would unlock Apple's app library; earlier Pixel Fold issues show foldable product risks.
