Animations in One UI 9 showed how the unusual Samsung Wide Fold smartphone with a 4:3 aspect ratio will look
Animations discovered in early builds of the One UI 9 firmware show off a new form factor for the Samsung foldable smartphone for the first time, which has been tentatively named the Wide Galaxy Fold and will have an unusual unfolded aspect ratio of 4:3, just like the future iPhone Fold.
Until now, Samsung's novelty existed only in rumors with no visual confirmation, but now you can see how the company envisions it.
What is known
Two versions of the animation were found in the system — light and dark. They are linked to the H8 code, which was previously associated with the SM‑F971U model, and insiders believe that under this code hides the Wide Fold.
The animations do not reveal all the details, but they provide the main insights:
- the device truly has a wider body;
- the proportions are different from the classic Galaxy Z Fold;
- the camera block is missing in the animations, but sources suggest that Samsung will retain the familiar camera design instead of experimenting.
The appearance of the Wide Fold in One UI 9 is the first indirect but undeniable confirmation that Samsung is indeed working on a new type of foldable smartphone. This matches expectations that the company will introduce the device alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 this summer. It is already known that Samsung is so confident in the success of its foldable smartphone Wide Fold that it 1 million at the start: Samsung confident in the success of its foldable smartphone Wide Fold and preparing a huge first batch.
By the way, thanks to the animation from Samsung, we can also draw conclusions about the appearance of the iPhone Fold.
