Samsung's triple-fold phone might launch in 2025: Here is what we know so far

Samsung's triple-fold phone might debut in 2025: Samsung is pushing the boundaries of innovation yet again, with reports indicating that a breakthrough Tri-Fold phone could be released in 2025. This futuristic device is predicted to include a screen that splits into three halves, providing a unique combination of portability and function. Samsung has pioneered foldable technology, and the expected introduction could change how we use smartphones and tablets. While specifics remain unknown, the Tri-Fold phone may contain advanced capabilities, seamless multitasking, and a stylish design. Tech enthusiasts are excited, speculating on its potential applications and market impact. If the allegations are true, foldable gadgets could significantly stride ahead by 2025.

This comes after Huawei, a Chinese corporation, launched the first triple-fold smartphone in September 2024, the Huawei Mate XT. While the premise is similar, the price difference may be significant. The Huawei Mate XT is priced at 20,000 Yuan in China (about Rs 2,31,800). However, according to the Korean daily Sisa Journal, Samsung's version would cost more. According to a display industry insider, the tri-fold tablet will include three display panels, two internal and two external hinges, and improved hardware technology, making it substantially more expensive than current folding smartphones. The Huawei Mate XT taught Samsung a lesson about display, a problem with tri-fold phones. The Sisa Journal reports that Samsung's triple-folding smartphone will have a G-shaped design, with the outside screens folding inward. This is distinct from the Huawei Mate XT's S- or Z-shaped folding mechanism, which folds inward and outward. According to the article, Samsung's revolutionary design would make the smartphone last longer. However, according to reports, Samsung appears to be wary about its new sub-category of gadgets, with plans to build fewer than 3,00,000 units of the G-type triple-folding smartphone. The device is expected to launch in the second half of 2025. Like the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, the initial launch will likely be limited to South Korea and a few Asian markets. A wider global rollout may depend on the device's performance and reception during the initial launch.

Plan for foldable phone by Samsung

It appears that Samsung has big ambitions for foldable phones this year. After the Galaxy Unpacked event (on January 22), which will reveal the Galaxy S25 series, the business will focus on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. This year, the company introduced two new foldables: the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and a triple-fold phone. While there will be a lot of variation in 2025, manufacturing is anticipated to remain low.

Little information is available regarding Samsung's tri-fold tablet, but one fascinating notion indicates it will have a dazzling 12.4-inch display when fully unfolded. This would position the device as a viable replacement for a standard smartphone and a tablet, exceeding Huawei's ground-breaking Mate XT with its 10.2-inch screen. Interestingly, the device may include a partially unfolded mode with a screen size of approximately 10.5 inches, providing an outstanding viewing experience. Another significant rumor is the potential omission of under-display camera technology. While this could improve the quality of the front-facing camera, it would require a hole-punch cutout on the main screen, which slightly detracts from the device's overall attractiveness. However, the trade-off may be worthwhile for increased camera performance.

Expected price for Samsung triple-fold smartphone

Samsung Galaxy Tri Fold phone's expected price in India is ?1,99,990.
