Samsung's Next Foldable: Ready for Video Lovers
28 Jan
Summary
- Samsung is reportedly developing a wider foldable phone.
- The new model will feature a 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded.
- This design is optimized for video consumption and web browsing.
Samsung is rumored to be developing a novel foldable smartphone, internally codenamed 'Wide Fold.' This upcoming device is designed with a shorter and wider form factor than current Galaxy Fold models, featuring a 7.6-inch internal OLED display.
Its key innovation lies in an unfolded aspect ratio of 4:3, a departure from the squarish design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This wider screen is intended to significantly reduce letterboxing when viewing videos.
This new design is seen as a compelling option for users seeking enhanced video consumption and web browsing on a foldable device. It could potentially compete with devices like the Oppo Find N and Google Pixel Fold.
Expected to launch in 2026, this 'Wide Fold' aims to capture a segment of the burgeoning foldable phone market. It might even precede Apple's rumored iPhone Fold, which is also speculated to feature a similar 4:3 display ratio.
