In 2026, Apple is expected to introduce its first foldable smartphone. Media sources say Samsung is concerned about this event and intends to introduce its direct competitor. The device will hit the market in early fall as the Galaxy Z Wide Fold.
Journalists note that Samsung is one of the leaders in the market for folding devices and has several types of phones with flexible screens. However, the company recognizes Apple's influence and wants to prepare for the launch of a folding iPhone. According to the source, the Korean brand's new device will have an “identical design” to Apple's device – thus, Samsung will be copying its competitor's products.
It should be noted that both smartphones will receive a main display, which when opened will have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The main screen size will be about 7.6 inches, the external screen – 5.4 inches. ETNews' article also said that Samsung will also introduce Galaxy Z Fold 8, its future folding screen smartphone.
In mid-December, a well-known insider with the nickname Digital Chat Station said Samsung would release a smartphone with a variable aperture camera. According to rumors, Apple will implement similar technology on the iPhone 18 Pro.
