Report: Samsung tri-fold could be unveiled this month

Michail, 02 September 2025

Samsung has been working on its first tri-fold smartphone for a while now and it’s reportedly already in mass production. A new report from ET News suggests Samsung may announce the device earlier than previously expected at a special Unpacked event later this month. That would then be followed by a commercial rollout in November.

Based on new supply chain information, Samsung has narrowed down its production estimates to just 50,000 units. That’s significantly less than previous estimates, which claimed Samsung would manufacture 200,000 units of the tri-fold.

A first-generation device like the Galaxy G Fold/Galaxy Z TriFold (placeholder names) is expected to be a trial for consumer demand for this form factor. To make things even more complicated, Samsung’s tri-fold will only be sold in two markets - South Korea and China. Samsung is reportedly following this limited run to avoid diverting attention and cannibalizing demand for the Galaxy Z Fold7.

To be fair, if this comes around $2k, I’d buy in the blink of an eye. Trifold makes much more sense than a dual fold, as you have a better media experience, filling up the screen instead of huge black bars.
