- A new report points to limited availability for Samsung Tri-Fold
- We might wait until November before it is sold
- Even then you might be struggling to find it outside of South Korea and China
All indications are that Samsung plans to reveal his first Tri-Fold-Smartphone at an event on Monday, September 29-but If a new report is to be believed, we wait a while before it actually goes on sale.
The report comes from the South Korean Outlet et News (via @jukanlosreve), and while we are addicted to Google Translate to understand all the details, the prediction here is that it will not be available to buy until November.
In addition, only 50,000 units are produced to begin with, with Samsung, who apparently wants to test the market to see what the answer to its new device is – about 10 times this number of shipments in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected for comparison.
This would make sense considering a few other details we have heard of this folding in the past: That it will cost a significant amount (perhaps as much as $ 3,500 / £ 2,610 / AU $ 5,375) and that it can only be available in South Korea and China, at least to begin with.
A limited release
Without a doubt, Samsung fans outside South Korea and China would be disappointed not to have the chance to buy this phone, but we have seen this strategy before from the company, most recently with Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, launched in October 2024.
The latest one -vy report does not mention international availability, so we will have to wait and see – but 50,000 units are not going far. The article says the Galaxy Z Fold 7 sells well and Samsung does not want to risk affecting it too much with a new device.
Currently, there just isn’t enough market data to know how popular Samsung Tri-Fold will be. The only tri-fold phone that is currently on the market is Huawei Mate XT-as is also very expensive and also difficult to get to most markets around the world.
All eyes will be at Samsung on September 29-if it is actually the launch date for Tri-Fold, which was only teased back in January. Before then, we expect to see the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Tab S11 series on September 4th.
