Next fall, Apple is widely expected to finally debut its long-rumored foldable iPhone, and it may have a new rival as soon as it arrives, and it won\u2019t be the Galaxy Z TriFold<\/a>. A new report from the Korean publication ET News<\/a> claims Samsung is developing a \u201cWide Fold\u201d that could also launch next autumn.<\/p>\n

According to ET News, the rumored wide Galaxy Z Fold will feature a display size and 4:3 aspect ratio similar to those of the iPhone Fold<\/a>. The Samsung Wide Fold could feature a 5.4-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch unfolded screen.<\/p>\n

Recent rumors have suggested the iPhone Fold will have 5.25-inch and 7.58-inch display<\/a>s. Both phones are supposed to be book-style with a 4:3 screen ratio. That ratio is very similar to what Apple already offers on its iPads.<\/p>\n

In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, <\/a>released this past summer, has an 8-inch interior display with a 1.1:1 aspect ratio \u2014 almost a square. The 4:3 aspect ratio should be better for reading e-books, documents, and image editing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If this Wide Fold does release next year, it will be the fourth foldable phone that Samsung has available for sale in 2026. The company just released its trifolding phone, which could get a wider release next year. Plus, the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold should see their next iterations in the summer.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s upcoming foldable has been in the rumor mill far longer than this \u201cWide Fold\u201d so we know a bit more about that device. Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman said in September the iPhone Fold should look like two iPhone Airs stuck together<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also expected to feature an obscene price between $2,300 and $2,500<\/a>. Samsung hasn\u2019t been afraid to price its foldable phones higher than its traditional flagship Galaxy S series.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,599 for the 256GB base version. Meanwhile, the Trifold doesn\u2019t have a price yet, but GSMArena reports that Samsung sold some in Korea<\/a> for around 3,590,400 won, which translates to about $2,428. If it ever comes to the U.S., it will likely cost as much, if not more.<\/p>\n
