Samsung reportedly planning wider foldable phone to improve video viewing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Samsung is reportedly developing a new foldable smartphone that will feature a wider aspect ratio than the current Galaxy Z Fold 8, aiming to optimize the viewing experience for video content. This potential device, rumored for a 2027 release, may move away from the Z Fold 8's 4:3 ratio to something closer to 16:9 or 16:10. The company is also said to be planning a suite of five foldable devices for 2027, including successors to the Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Flip 8, and a revived Z TriFold. AI
