- Samsung rumored to launch four foldables in 2025
- It will release a tri-fold with a massive display later this year
- It also works on the Fold 7, Flip 7 and the new, cheaper Flip FE
Samsung showed off two trifold concept phones at CES 2025, and while it’s not uncommon for these exciting innovations to take a few years to go from concept to consumer product, new leaks suggest we’ll be able to buy a version of a later this year – along with three other foldable Samsung phones that seem more exciting than the Galaxy S25 series phones we expect to see this week.
That’s according to tipster Jukanlosreve (who links to this video from Korean tech news source The Elec), who says the tri-fold will launch in Q3 2025 – so July, August or September. Samsung reportedly doesn’t expect to sell too many (with production volume set at around 200,000 units), and the screen will be “between 9.9 and 10 inches when unfolded.”
What has yet to be determined is which tri-fold Samsung will commit to. While both of its concepts share a dual-hinged design, one copies the Galaxy Z Fold design to open up from a standard-sized smartphone to a full-on tablet, while the other is more reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Flip, unfolding to an oversized smartphone from a smaller puck.
The smaller concept would likely lead to an overall cheaper product, although the fold-out tablet would be a better example of the versatility of foldables – so there’s no right or wrong answer to its choice, although Samsung is sure to leave one camp disappointed.
The triple will not be cheap
However, both triplings will likely cost a fair amount of money. Regular foldables are already expensive – it costs around $1,099.99 / £1,049 / $1,799 for the Flips and $1,899 / £1,799 / AU$2,749 for the Folds – while existing trifolds take things up a notch: the Honor Mate XT will set you back around $2 .80 2,150 / AU$ 4,200. So for those of you after a ‘cheap’ foldable, you might be more excited about the second addition to Samsung’s typical two-phone foldable lineup: the rumored Galaxy Z Flip FE.
This Fan Edition phone would presumably copy the Samsung Galaxy FE series of devices we’ve seen over the past few years – which takes some current-gen aspects and combines them with some older components to create a more affordable, but up-to-date device. In the case of the Flip FE, we’re guessing the cameras will take the biggest hit, although rumor has it that it will at least have an improved screen and a best-in-class Samsung chipset.
There are a lot of questions we need answered before we can rule out either way on the Flip FE, but if Samsung can get it right, it has the potential to be the most exciting foldable of 2025 by making this technology more accessible than we are. have seen before.
Bringing up the rear to make Samsung’s 2025 total of four foldables would be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 – the classic annual refresh. Rumors are thin at the time of writing, but we have heard that both models could get larger screens.
