Samsung’s Tri-Fold Smartphone Poised for October Unveil Amid Soaring Foldable Sales
Samsung is reportedly gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of its tri-fold smartphone, potentially named the Galaxy Z TriFold, with an unveiling planned for later this month. This significant reveal comes as Samsung’s existing foldable lineup, particularly the Galaxy Z Fold 7, continues to shatter sales expectations.
According to reports from Yonhap News Agency, Samsung intends to showcase the TriFold at the APEC summit in Gyeongju, scheduled for October 31st and November 1st. While it’s unclear if this will be the official global launch or a preliminary unveiling, the timing aligns perfectly with persistent rumors of an October debut for the innovative device.
The launch arrives on the heels of impressive performance from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which underwent a significant overhaul in July. Samsung reports that the Fold 7’s sales are exceeding those of its predecessor, the Fold 6, by 50%. A notable trend indicates that nearly 30% of Fold 7 buyers are migrating from Galaxy S Ultra models, suggesting that the S Pen’s perceived indispensability might be less critical than previously thought for some premium users.
Despite strong domestic sales, Samsung’s plans for a wider global release of the TriFold remain uncertain, especially given previous reports from two weeks ago indicating the company was still deliberating. However, the current robust sales figures for the Fold 7 in markets like the US could sway Samsung to consider a broader launch for its new tri-folding contender, particularly as rivals like Huawei have already introduced similar devices in key markets.
