But it seems as though Samsung is determined to pip it to the post. <\/p>\n<p>The Korean company has been quietly developing a new foldable form, currently referred to as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, that\u2019s set to launch in summer 2026. This is a month or two before the arrival of Apple\u2019s expected iPhone Ultra foldable at its September launch event. The interesting thing is that both phones will have a similar size and aspect ratio. <\/p>\n<p>Note that both of these phones are only rumoured via supply chain leaks at this stage.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-the-new-aspect-ratio-matters\">Why the new aspect ratio matters<\/h2>\n<p>The aspect ratio of a phone screen may not seem like a big deal, but it really changes the mobile experience. The tall, narrow displays on existing Galaxy Z Fold phones are great for scrolling and messaging, but when it goes beyond that, it\u2019s another story.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">Luke Baker<\/p>\n<p>A 4:3 screen improves the experience of reading documents, browsing websites, and watching videos. This format is widely used in tablets because it works well for productivity, and soon you\u2019ll be able to get that on a device that folds down to fit in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Having that tablet-size screen in a foldable phone could make split-screen multitasking feel more natural.
