Samsung is preparing to compete with Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone by introducing its own ‘Wide Fold’ device in 2026. According to a report by ET News, a South Korean publication, the Samsung ‘Wide Fold’ is expected to closely match the display size and 4:3 aspect ratio of Apple’s foldable offering.
The rumored ‘Wide Fold’ will feature an OLED display measuring 5.4 inches when folded and expanding to 7.6 inches when unfolded, providing a ‘passport’ type experience with a 4:3 screen ratio in its unfolded state. This move towards a wider aspect ratio is designed to enhance the user experience for activities such as reading e-books, viewing photos, and engaging in creative tasks, though it may introduce black bars on traditional landscape and portrait videos, similar to what is observed on Samsung’s Z Fold 7.
Both Samsung and Apple are expected to launch their foldable devices in the Fall of 2026, initiating a new era of competition in the foldable smartphone market.
