Samsung is Revisiting Competition with a New Product: Tri-Fold Phone Launch by Year-End
Samsung, the South Korean tech giant, is set to make a splash in the smartphone market with its upcoming tri-fold device. While the official name has yet to be decided, the phone is believed to be the Galaxy Fold G, as showcased in media shared by Android Authority.
Roh-Tae-moon, the acting head of Samsung's Device Experience Division, confirmed that the company is indeed working on this innovative tri-fold smartphone. The device, when unfolded, would offer an even larger tablet-sized screen, putting Samsung back at the forefront of tech innovation.
However, the launch date for this groundbreaking device is not yet confirmed, with rumours suggesting it may be towards the end of this year. Samsung has been tight-lipped about the release, but fans and tech enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting updates from the company and major tech events.
The tri-fold phone is being meticulously worked on to ensure its product and usability are perfected. Samsung is reportedly considering a design with two folds instead of one, which could potentially address concerns about durability, especially on the sides where the creases fold over.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, already announced at Samsung's Unpacked event last week, is set to hit the market with a price tag of $2,000. While the tri-fold phone is expected to cost more, its impressive features are sure to justify the investment.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasts top-notch performance and cameras, and is as thin and light as a Galaxy S25 Ultra. This flagship phone is a testament to Samsung's commitment to delivering high-quality devices.
Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate, not available in the U.S., serves as a reference for Samsung's tri-fold phone. The Mate XT Ultimate functions as a regular glass slab, a tablet, and a large tablet or laptop-sized screen when unfurled. However, it carries a hefty price tag of 3,499 euros (roughly $4,000 at today's exchange rate).
Despite facing criticism for producing phones that resemble iPhone bricks, Samsung hasn't lost its fight to innovate. The tri-fold smartphone is a clear demonstration of this, and tech enthusiasts can't wait to see what the future holds for this exciting new device.
