vivo, OPPO and Honor All Working on Wide Foldables — The Race for a Tablet-Style Screen in a Foldable Phone Is On

The Wide Foldable Revolution — Three Giants Join One Race

It appears that more Android smartphone makers are preparing to enter the wide-screen foldable segment. Samsung is rumoured to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide later this year, with new leaks suggesting that vivo, Oppo, and Honor are also developing their own wide foldables.

vivo X Fold 6 — Less Noticeable Crease and Wider Future

Tipster Smart Pikachu shared fresh details about the upcoming vivo X Fold6, while also offering insights into vivo's future foldable plans. According to the tipster, the X Fold6 is expected to feature a less noticeable display crease. The tipster further claims that upcoming foldable devices from vivo will adopt a wider display design.

That framing — "gradually shift" — is important. The X Fold 6 itself may not be wide. The wide format likely arrives in a subsequent model. Smart Pikachu specifically flagged the device for users who prefer large foldables, which reads as a signal that the wider aspect ratio is coming but not necessarily first.

OPPO — A Secret Wide Foldable Under Testing

In a separate post, the same source revealed that Oppo is also testing a wide foldable smartphone, which is currently undergoing evaluation.

OPPO is preparing a device with the same 16:10 display aspect ratio as the Pura X. Initially called the OPPO Reno X, a recent tip mentioned the Find X10 series instead. It may feature a 6.39-inch wide display at around 21xx×13xx resolution, a Dimensity 9-series chip, a 7,000mAh+ battery, and a triple-camera system with a 50MP main and periscope telephoto lens.

Honor — Longest in Development, Furthest From Launch

Meanwhile, another tipster claims that Honor has been working on a wide foldable for quite some time and is expected to unveil it in the near future.

The Honor leak is more visually specific — an image reveals a wide form factor with a triple rear camera setup and a secondary rear display. When unfolded it offers a horizontal tablet-like orientation. The secondary back screen is a differentiator — Huawei's Pura X Max went without one. Q1 2027 is the expected window.

Why Now — The iPhone Ultra Factor

The wide foldable race started with Huawei's Pura X Max, but Samsung's decision to split its flagship lineup into standard and wide variants is forcing competitors to respond. Apple is also rumored to be exploring the category, with reports pointing to a wide-screen foldable iPhone possibly launching as the iPhone Ultra later this year.
