TL;DR

• Samsung apparently plans to produce one million units of its rumored Wide Fold foldable phone.
• This strongly suggests that the Wide Fold could see a broad release across a variety of countries.
• The phone is tipped to have a 4:3 folding display, and will likely be a response to the iPhone Fold.

Samsung is widely expected to launch a so-called Wide Fold later this year, which will apparently offer a wider folding screen than its previous Galaxy Z Fold devices. Now, a Korean outlet has revealed more details about the product.

ET News reports that Samsung plans to produce one million Wide Fold units in 2026. It notes that this would be the most units produced for a special edition foldable phone. By contrast, Samsung reportedly shipped just 30,000 Galaxy Z TriFold units and 500,000 Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition units. However, a source told the outlet that Samsung could still produce more Wide Fold units depending on the market response.
