Samsung may be preparing to expand its foldable lineup with a brand-new model. Rumors have hinted at a wider design for months, and recent leaks suggest the device could launch this year. An industry insider claims the phone will join the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip as a separate foldable line.
The device is expected to feature a 7.6-inch internal display, likely in a 4:3 aspect ratio. When unfolded, it will resemble a small tablet, making multitasking and document work easier. However, its extra-wide form factor could make one-handed use tricky when folded.
The phone is rumored to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a choice that fits a 2026 release. Battery capacity appears standard for a large foldable, with a total of around 4,800 mAh, split across two cells of 2,267 mAh and 2,393 mAh, and a rated minimum capacity of 4,660 mAh. The leak also indicates the device will launch in China initially.
The report notes that Samsung and Apple will remain the main players in the large foldable market by 2026. Huawei is mentioned as a potential fourth contender, though details remain scarce.
