2026 could be a big year for foldable phones, as Apple is rumored to finally be launching a foldable of its own, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra.<\/p>\n

This could push foldable phones into the mainstream, and Samsung \u2014 as well as welcoming the competition from its biggest rival \u2014 looks set to cash in, as it\u2019s reportedly launching a foldable phone in a new wider form factor, so that it can better compete with Apple\u2019s device, which itself is expected to be quite wide.<\/p>\n

This new phone was once referred to as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide but is now rumored to be launching simply as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, with the more familiar, narrower model said to be landing as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.<\/p>\n

That would mean a starting price of $1,999.99 \/ \u00a31,799 \/ AU$2,899 or less.<\/p>\n
