Samsung’s pivot toward a wider aspect ratio on the book-style foldable seems to be paying dividends, and the company might double down on that momentum next year. Driven by stronger-than-expected demand for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Samsung is reportedly testing two new hardware directions for its successor: a larger-screened “Plus” model and a more accessible, spec-trimmed “FE” variant, either of which will sit alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 9 (Wide).
According to leaker Lanzuk (yeux1122) on Naver, citing unnamed display supply chain sources, Samsung is internally testing two new variations of the Galaxy Z Fold 9: a wide “Plus”-like model with slightly larger dimensions, and a second “FE”-like model with slightly reduced specifications while maintaining the existing size.
