Samsung is reportedly building an even wider Galaxy Z Fold 9 for video viewing
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is an absolute smash hit and, with that in mind, Samsung is reportedly doubling down on the form factor with a second wide device now in the works for the Galaxy Z Fold 9 series, making for a total of five new foldables in 2027.
Samsung is reportedly developing a wider Galaxy Z Fold 9 as part of its 2027 foldable lineup, ETNews has reported. This would bring the total number of new foldable releases in 2027 to five, following the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and the rumoured Galaxy Z TriFold. The new device, a second wide form-factor model like the Galaxy Z Fold 8, is said to be designed with video consumption in mind.
It is expected to feature a screen aspect ratio optimized for video viewing, potentially 16:9 or 16:10, differing from the 4:3 aspect ratio used in the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The specifications of this new device are still unclear, but it is anticipated to be launched in the second half of 2027.
