The Galaxy Z Fold Wide
Samsung has already made the Fold and the Flip, but now it is pushing forward and making a new Galaxy Z Fold Wide, which it plans to introduce this year. They’re planning to have an even wider display and improve several features.
Introduction
The main feature of this foldable is mainly the wider display, along with some improvements to the design, new software, and other features, but nothing too fancy.
Design & Display
If we talk about the design, the Galaxy Z Fold Wide is going to be a lot different from what we are used to seeing. It’s going to be a mix of a foldable phone, a small tablet, and a shorter Galaxy S25 Edge. Compared to the regular Samsung Fold, it is going to be shorter but wider.
The rumored inner display is expected to be 7.6 inches, and the outer display is expected to be 5.4 inches. It is also expected to have a smaller selfie camera on the cover screen.
If we talk about the back design, we may see two cameras on the back with a camera bump. The device is expected to be 14.6 mm thick and weigh around 200 grams.
There are also rumors that the display could be close to the Galaxy Fold display, offering around 2600 nits of brightness, but this is not confirmed.
Main Features
Nowadays, phones are seeing heavy AI-based software integration. With One UI 9, we are going to see a lot of software features, including AI productivity, AI communication, AI creativity, and more.
Performance
The new Galaxy Fold Wide may come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, along with 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM. There is also a possibility that some countries will receive the 2nm Exynos 2600 chip, including countries like India and South Korea.
Camera System
Samsung is planning to use a 50 MP main camera with a 50 MP ultra-wide camera. The front camera may be 10 MP. There is also the possibility that the new Galaxy comes with a larger sensor.
These specifications might seem low, but Samsung may be planning to compete against the foldable iPhone, which is rumored to feature 48 MP cameras.
We have often seen 200 MP cameras on Samsung devices, so why didn’t Samsung do the same here? It’s probably because they wanted to keep the price down, and they may have developed technology that helps improve photo quality without increasing megapixels.
Storage
The Galaxy Z Fold Wide is expected to be available with a variety of storage options, including 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB. There is also a possibility of seeing more than 1 TB.
Battery
The Galaxy Z Fold Wide battery is expected to be around 9% larger than the Z Fold’s battery, reaching 4800 mAh with 45 W wired charging and 25 W wireless charging. Compared to previous models, this is a nice upgrade. However, there is still a possibility that wireless charging may not be included.
Why a Wider Fold Matters
I don’t know the specific reason they plan to make this device, but it could be for a larger display, more comfortable browsing, better media viewing, and additional productivity benefits.
Galaxy Z Fold Wide vs Galaxy Z Fold 8
| Feature | Fold Wide | Fold 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Display Width | Wider | Standard |
| Productivity | Higher | High |
| Media Viewing | Better | Good |
| Portability | Slightly Lower | Better |
| Multitasking | Expanded | Strong |
Who Should Buy It?
The Galaxy Z Fold Wide has two main uses. It can be used professionally and for everyday life.
If you’re working on your phone all day long, having a bigger screen is going to help you a lot. At the same time, when you’re at home, a larger screen also comes in handy. At work, a larger screen may help you multitask compared to smaller phones that don’t allow the same level of productivity.
So, it can be useful both professionally and for regular daily use.
Expected Release & Pricing
The phone is expected to be introduced at the Unpacked event, but there is a rumor that Samsung delayed this year’s Unpacked event to July 22.
The price might be somewhere around $2000, which is similar to the Fold 8. However, we may see a small increase.
FAQ Section
How is the Fold Wide different from the Fold 8?
The Fold 8 is a phone that becomes a tablet, but the Fold Wide is shorter when closed and much wider when opened.
Is the Galaxy Z Fold Wide officially confirmed?
No, it is not officially confirmed. The expected reveal date is the Samsung Unpacked event.
Conclusion
Samsung’s new phone, the Galaxy Z Fold Wide, has a significant design change, but the specifications are not greatly upgraded. If you take my suggestion, and your work involves photos or videos, I think it may be safe for you to skip the Galaxy Z Fold Wide.
