Samsung's recent Unpacked event wasn't just about the new Galaxy S25 series. The tech giant also offered a tantalizing look into the future, officially teasing the development of its first-ever tri-fold phone. While no exact timeline was given, it's clear that Samsung is pushing the boundaries of foldable technology.
Beyond the Fold: Samsung's Tri-Fold Ambition
While the details remain limited, Samsung confirmed its commitment to a tri-fold design, joining the likes of Huawei in this space. Samsung has been experimenting with tri-fold prototypes at CES over the past few years, which has led them to formally pursue the development of a commercial device.
The official teaser confirms that this device is no longer a mere concept. It represents a significant step in Samsung’s vision for the future of mobile devices.
What We Know So Far
According to the latest whispers, Samsung’s tri-fold device is expected to have an unfolded display size of approximately 9.9 to 10 inches. One of the important design changes is a "G-Type" form factor. Unlike the S-shaped design of the Huawei Mate X series, Samsung’s design will fold entirely inward. This decision could provide increased protection for the primary display when not in use.
Samsung’s initial production run for this revolutionary phone is anticipated to be limited, with a rumored 200,000 units. This could suggest a higher price tag and the potential for limited availability.
