Samsung is engaged on a Galaxy Z Vast Fold — tentative identify — to straight tackle Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone. A brand new report has surfaced that gives slightly extra element in regards to the {hardware} that we will count on to see powering this telephone, and it’s a fairly marginal improve as anticipated.
Galaxy Z Vast Fold processor and show
In keeping with the report (translated supply), the Galaxy Z Vast Fold will include a show that measures 7.6 inches throughout. Although barely smaller than the eight-inch show on the Galaxy Fold 7, the wide-folding design will present a really completely different expertise. The telephone, when unfolded, will make for a tablet-like expertise, similar to the foldable iPhone.As anticipated, the telephone is predicted to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 just like the Galaxy S26 Extremely. Nevertheless, this nonetheless isn’t set in stone, and we’d see Samsung use its 2 nm Exynos 2600 chipset as an alternative.

Maybe the one disappointing facet of the in any other case glorious Galaxy Z Fold 7 was its battery capability of 4,400 mAh, which is precisely the identical because the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Sadly, regardless of choosing a dual-cell configuration, Samsung just isn’t going to cross the 5,000 mAh barrier with the Galaxy Z Vast Fold.
The telephone will apparently have a mixed battery capability of round 4,800 mAh, lower than the 5,600 mAh of the Galaxy Z TriFold, and far lower than Chinese language foldables. Samsung’s telephone will most definitely nonetheless be capable to obtain “all-day battery life” however there isn’t something notably particular in regards to the battery right here.
It’s a really experimental telephone
We now know the way apps will work on the foldable iPhone and the way iOS shall be redesigned for it too. Apple is betting on promoting the foldable iPhone with the promise of a extra iPad-like expertise, whereas Samsung is betting on Apple’s unorthodox method to foldables catching on, in contrast to the iPhone Air.If the foldable iPhone doesn’t promote as anticipated, then the Galaxy Z Vast Fold will undergo too, similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge did. That is just about of venture, and I hoped that Samsung would lastly use greater batteries now that it has already carried out that after with the TriFold. However I suppose we’re going to must hold ready for now.
