Breaking: Samsung Confirms Tri-Fold Folding Smartphone Launch by End of 2025
In a significant development for the tech world, Samsung has finally broken its silence on the much-anticipated Tri-Fold folding smartphone. During a press conference held immediately after the Galaxy Unpacked event, the South Korean giant officially confirmed that its revolutionary device will hit the market by the end of 2025. This news comes after weeks of speculation and disappointed expectations, as many had hoped to see the Tri-Fold unveiled alongside other products at the main event.
Samsung’s Promise for the Tri-Fold
Roh Tae-Moon, head of Samsung Electronics’ DX division, provided the first concrete details on the project during the press meeting. The executive assured that Samsung is working intensely to ensure the device meets high standards of completeness and usability before its launch. His statement was clear:
“We are working hard with the aim of launching the clover phone when its level of completion and usability will be ensured. We will be able to release the product within this year. You can look forward to it. We have not yet decided the name for the launch of the Trifold phone. Since the moment of the launch is approaching, we will soon make a decision.”
Interestingly, Samsung has not yet decided on the final name for this revolutionary device. While rumors have suggested the name “Galaxy G Fella,” the company is still considering options. Roh specified that a definitive decision will be made soon as the launch date approaches.
A Technology Other Than Competition
The market for three-panel folding smartphones is currently dominated by the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. However, Samsung seems to have taken a different technical approach to stand out. Unlike the Huawei device, which folds outwards, Samsung’s solution involves folding inwards from both sides—a design choice that could offer advantages in terms of display protection.
This information emerged from an official animation of Samsung, which shows the methods of opening and closing the device, identified within the one UI 8 code based on Android 16. It is the first concrete clue on the technical characteristics of the product, which until now had remained shrouded in mystery.
Waiting for the Galaxy UNPACKED
Yesterday’s Galaxy Unpacked event generated enormous expectations among technology enthusiasts and sector analysts. Many had expected Samsung to take the opportunity to present its first Tri-Fold smartphone alongside other devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, Galaxy Watch 8, and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The non-presentation of the Tri-Fold had left a void in the audience’s expectations.
However, Samsung’s strategy now appears clearer. Rather than rushing the presentation during an event already full of novelties, the company preferred to take the time necessary to perfect the product and guarantee an optimal user experience.
The Future of Folding Smartphones
Samsung’s official declaration represents a crucial moment for the folding smartphone industry. For the first time, the South Korean company publicly spoke of its Tri-Fold project, confirming that the technology is mature enough for a commercial launch in the short term. In the coming months, further details are likely to emerge through benchmarks and certifications necessary for marketing.
With the launch scheduled by December 2025, Samsung is preparing to directly challenge Huawei in the nascent segment of Tri-Fold devices, bringing its ten-year experience in the field of folding smartphones to a new technological dimension. The competition promises to be intense, with two different engineering approaches that could define the future standards of this category of devices.
The future of folding smartphones looks brighter than ever, and Samsung’s Tri-Fold could very well be the next big thing in mobile technology. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch date.
