Report: Samsung tri-fold phone could launch in the US

Samsung will launch its first tri-fold smartphone later this year. While early rumors suggested the phone would be sold only in South Korea and China, a new report indicates otherwise.

As per a CNN Business report citing a source familiar with the matter, Samsung is considering bringing its tri-fold smartphone to the US. If so, it would become the first brand to sell a tri-fold device in the American market.

Huawei is currently the only brand selling tri-fold phones to consumers, the Mate XT and Mate XTs. However, their availability is limited to China. While it’s possible to buy one outside the country, doing so isn’t easy.

Samsung’s upcoming tri-fold, rumored to be called the Galaxy TriFold, is said to feature a different unfolding mechanism than Huawei’s model and is expected to launch in November. It could cost around $3,000 if launched in the US.
