The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is expected to launch with a main display aspect ratio narrower than the newly announced HUAWEI Pura X Max.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide’s folding display could offer a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is the same rumored aspect ratio for the iPhone Fold.
Samsung’s wide foldable could feel similarly to 4:3 iPads and tablets, if the inner display aspect ratio is indeed correct.
Samsung is rumored to be working on a wider foldable form factor that is expected to debut alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8. Wider foldables could mark the next stage of the folding phone race in 2026 — HUAWEI just beat Samsung to the punch with the Pura X Max. On top of that, Apple’s highly anticipated foldable is thought to sport a similar form factor to both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide and the Pura X Max. Now, a leak reveals the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide’s suspected aspect ratios, giving us an idea of what it’ll be like to consume content on the foldable.
Ice Universe shared the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide’s rumored dimensions and display aspect ratios in a post on X (formerly Twitter), and compared them to the official Pura X Max specs. A previous leak already revealed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide’s thickness to be 4.9mm when opened and 9.8mm once closed. However, this is the first time we’re seeing the aspect ratio of Samsung’s wide foldable leak.
