Samsung could double down with two Wide Folds next year
Fold 8's record success is said to be prompting Samsung to expand its 2027 Z9 lineup with a second video-tailored foldable.
Samsung may unveil two wide foldable devices next year, according to reports. The Galaxy Z9 generation is set to see the addition of these new models, which are being developed alongside the popular Galaxy Z Fold 8. The second wide-screen foldable is reportedly being designed with an aspect ratio tailored specifically for wide-screen video playback on the inner display.
This development comes in the wake of the Fold 8's impressive success, which has broken records for pre-orders in the Z8 generation. If the Galaxy Z9 lineup follows this trend, Samsung could end up with five devices in its foldable portfolio before considering a rumored rollable slate. ETNews, a South Korean outlet, revealed that Samsung has begun development projects for these two wide foldable devices, and has shared plans with its supply chain partners.
