Samsung Teases Wider Foldable Ratio in New Videos Ahead of Next Unpacked

3 articles · Updated · Engadget · Jun 30

Samsung posted a series of teaser videos pointing to a wider, boxier design for its next foldable smartphone, signaling a notable shift from the tall, phone-like proportions common in current models.
The clips avoid showing the device itself but highlight oddly proportioned objects—such as a broken chocolate bar and a cut puzzle—to suggest a shorter, stockier form factor when folded.
That shape would likely make the phone feel broader when closed and deliver a more widescreen experience when opened, rather than the squarer tablet-like layout seen on some foldables.
The teasers largely reinforce earlier rumors that Samsung was testing a wider foldable, though it remains unclear whether the change will define the lineup or be a limited experiment.
Samsung has not announced the handset yet, with fuller details expected at its next Unpacked event.
