Samsung is reportedly planning two 2026 foldables: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a wider Z Fold 8 Wide.
The models are said to target different users with different aspect ratios, while keeping foldables central to Samsung’s strategy.
Rumored upgrades include a smaller punch-hole camera, a new 50MP ultra-wide sensor, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and 5,000 mAh batteries.
The shift suggests Samsung is prioritizing foldables over the Ultra line, which could intensify pressure on rivals like Apple and other premium makers.
