This shift toward wide foldables follows the Galaxy Z Fold8, which replaced its tall 21:9-style body with a shorter 4:3 inner screen.
The Fold8 reportedly accounted for 70% of pre-orders within the Galaxy Z8 series, with the lineup achieving 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea—a 39% jump year-over-year.

Given this success, Samsung is reportedly planning a second wide model rather than treating the Fold8 as a one-off.
The new wide Fold is said to target a shape better suited for video, closer to widescreen, instead of the near-square 4:3 screen.
