Samsung’s Revolutionary ‘Tri-Fold’ Smartphone Coming This Year (2025)

Huawei made it to the headlines last year with the introduction of the Mate XT, which is a smartphone with a unique ‘tri-fold’ design. This design actually folds the device twice rather than three times. Since the debut of the design, there have been many speculations about when another manufacturer would reveal a similar tri-fold device. 

According to a recent report from Korea, it looks like the answer is set, as the latter half of 2025, with Samsung ready to launch its own iteration. However, it is possible that the initial release will be very limited with less than 300,000 units expected to be available. 

This limitation is largely linked to the complex manufacturing processes that are involved in creating such a device. Nevertheless, if the product proves to be a hit, Samsung might explore ways to boost its production capabilities and offer more to the consumers. 

However, there are many challenges that may arise, especially as the device is expected to make its debut at the highest price point ever for a Samsung foldable. Samsung Display will be responsible for the production of the screen and it is anticipated to feature a different folding mechanism as compared to the Huawei Mate XT. 

Notably, when fully flooded, the screen will not be exposed on one side, which is designed to boost its durability. According to machine translations from Korean sources, the dimensions of the screen will also vary because of this new folding design. The design measures approximately 10.5 inches when it is unfolded on the left side whereas it is 12.4 inches when it is unfolded to the right. In addition to this, the device will not include an under-display camera. This unique and innovative foldable device by Samsung will surely bring an interesting experience for the users.
