Samsung launched its first wide foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold8, alongside the traditional Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra in July. A Korean tipster claims the wide Fold8 is selling better than Samsung initially expected, prompting the company to allegedly add a second model to its wide foldable lineup for next year. Samsung is reportedly testing two options: one with a larger display and one with the same size but toned-down specs.
Only one model will launch, with a decision expected soon. The tentative names are the Galaxy Z Fold9+ and the Galaxy Z Fold9 FE. Together, the Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra sold 45% more units in Europe during their first nine weeks than the Galaxy Z Fold7 did last year.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 features a 7.6-inch 2448x1848 inner screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 5.5-inch cover display, LTPO AMOLED 120Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset, up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, a 50MP main camera with OIS, and a 4,800 mAh battery with 45W wired and 20W wireless charging.
