"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."
"The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is my favorite phone of 2025 because I love browsing and reading on the web on it. However, it may not be the first choice for someone seeking a foldable phone for consuming video content. When watching videos on an unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 7, you get massive letterboxing (thick borders on top and bottom)."
"According to a report from ETnews, Samsung 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 ."
Samsung is developing a wide-screen foldable internally called the "Wide Fold" that opens to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The inner display is reported as 7.6 inches OLED, 0.4 inches smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, producing a shorter, wider form factor. The 4:3 ratio targets improved video viewing by reducing letterboxing compared with the squarer Fold 7. Samsung redesigned existing foldables in 2025, producing lighter book-style and multi-hinge models, and continuing new hardware innovation. Additional wider foldable options are expected to expand the market and contribute to a busy foldable lineup in 2026.
