Huawei made quite some noise when it launched its tri-fold Mate XT smartphone. Now it seems that South Korean tech giant Samsung is also gearing up to join the tri-fold race. If reports are to be believed, Samsung can unveil its tri-fold smartphone this year itself. A major differentiator here can be the fact that Samsung’s device will fold differently, as per early reports. This will help protect the flexible screens when closed.
When will Samsung launch its tri-fold smartphone?
Samsung is reportedly aggressively working on its tri-fold device and it can unveil it between July and September this year. This time frame also aligns with Samsung’s foldable launch, i.e. the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold series. It is expected to drop along with that.
As far as the tri-fold production is concerned, it is set to commence in the second quarter. The device is rumored to feature a massive unfolded screen size of 9.9 to 10 inches. The only catch here is that this phone will have limited availability. It is being reported that only around 2, 00,000 units are planned for release.
So we might see the tri-fold by Samsung in July along with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This time around, Samsung might remove the digitizer from the Galaxy Z Fold7, potentially making it thinner to compete with rivals like Honor, whose Magic V3 is a really slim phone.
