Samsung’s One UI Code Hints at Existence of ‘Wide’ Galaxy Z Fold

The company’s latest Android application packages, spotted by a leaker online, include references to animations for the rumored phone.

We may see a wide version of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold phone sooner rather than later, according to a report by Android Authority using Android Package files spotted by known leaker wr3ckl3ss. The latest One UI 9 build includes light and dark mode animations for a new foldable phone, which could be the wide Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.

The latest data scraped from Samsung’s One UI Android APKs has a product codename — «H8» — plastered all over it. Android Authority’s previous reporting connected the H8 to a device model number SM-F971U, which is rumored to be a wide Galaxy Z Fold phone. While data scraped from APKs doesn’t always make it to a full release of the software, the mention of new hardware is a good flag for what’s being internally developed.

It’s important to note that there are still no leaked photos or concrete visual assets indicating the existence of the wide Galaxy Z Fold. Several crude AI mockups have circulated online, generated in response to features that might show up on Samsung’s rumored phone, but no leaker has produced real photos of the device.

A representative for Samsung didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Most of our knowledge about this new Galaxy Z Fold is derived from a Korean report from Etnews, which says Samsung has been working on a device referred to internally as the «Wide Fold.» While the latest info gleaned from the APKs doesn’t offer insight into how the phone will look, this report claims the Wide Fold will be squarer and boxier, with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The phone could have a 7.6-inch internal screen when open, and a 5.4-inch external display when folded, according to the report.

Samsung’s rumored wide foldable phone might be designed to shake up its lineup just as Apple is rumored to bring its first iPhone Fold to the market in 2026. It also follows the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Trifold earlier this year.

The H8 animations included in the latest One UI APKs are the most compelling developments surrounding this phone we’ve seen yet, and they might lend credence to the idea that we’ll hear more about the Wide Fold through official Samsung channels soon.
