Samsung’s rumored wide-screen foldable just picked up a few more details. A new leak suggests the device could feature a 7.6-inch inner display, a flagship chipset, and a fairly large battery.
According to the leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming wide foldable will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. This will bring it in line with the performance of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8.
The phone reportedly uses a dual-cell battery with a typical capacity of around 4,800mAh. The leak breaks this down into two cells — 2,267mAh and 2,393mAh — with a combined minimum capacity of about 4,660mAh. Dual-cell setups are common in foldables because they allow manufacturers to distribute the battery across both halves of the device.
Samsung’s wide-foldable will have an inner screen comparable to Galaxy Z Fold 8 in size
The inner display size is perhaps the most interesting detail. At 7.6 inches, it matches the main display size of Samsung’s current book-style foldables.
However, the key difference is expected to be the aspect ratio. The device will be shorter and wider, giving it a more tablet-like 4:3 layout when unfolded. A broader cover display is typically more comfortable for typing and messaging, while the inner screen can feel more natural for reading and watching videos.
The leak also claims the device will be available in Samsung’s domestic market, meaning Samsung is at least planning a launch in its home region.
More broadly, the leak hints that Apple and Samsung may lead the international wide-foldable race, while Huawei and other domestic brands could compete more aggressively in the Chinese market.
This lines up with earlier reports suggesting Samsung is exploring multiple foldable designs at the same time, rather than replacing its existing Galaxy Z Fold lineup. The wide foldable may simply become a new option alongside the traditional tall fold model.
Of course, leaks only tell part of the story. Samsung has tested plenty of experimental hardware over the years that never reached store shelves. Still, the steady flow of details means the company’s wide foldable experiment is moving closer to reality.
