Still, it&#8217;s an interesting development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Leaked information indicates that Samsung is working on a version of its Galaxy Z Fold 8, whose dimensions are similar to a normal book: proportionally wider than the Z Fold 7 when closed, and extra wide when open. Given that we&#8217;re pretty sure this &#8220;wide fold&#8221; will be realized this year, there&#8217;s no doubt that Samsung may have considered an even wider trifold design. However, given the current model&#8217;s controversial $2,900 price tag, even more screens in a similar phone may not be a realistic possibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
