Samsung is working on a tri-fold phone that could be launched next year, according to a report. The South Korean tech conglomerate will have to catch up to rival Huawei, after the launch<\/a> of the Mate XT Ultimate Edition<\/a> in China with a\u00a0CNY 19,999 (roughly Rs. 2,37,000) price tag. Other smartphone makers like Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo are also tipped to be working on their own smartphones with tri-fold displays that can be expanded to form a much bigger screen.<\/p>\n

Samsung Reportedly Working on Smartphone With Tri-Fold Display<\/h2>\n

A ZDNet Korea report<\/a> (in Korean) citing industry sources states that Samsung Electronics is considering the release of an entry-level clamshell-style foldable phone, as well as a “tri-fold model that can fold the screen twice” \u2014 both these phones could be released by the company in 2025.<\/p>\n

The publication cites a source who claims that commercialisation plans and development of the tri-fold model’s components have already been completed by Samsung Display’s partners. However, the decision to launch the product lies with the head of Samsung Electronics’ MX division, the source added.<\/p>\n

Orders for OLED displays used in foldable phones have dropped by 10 percent year on year, according to the report, due to lower-than-expected demand for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 models that were launched by the company earlier this year. As a result, Samsung has reportedly lowered the “rolling plan” (R\/P) of OLED panels due to the decreased demand.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Samsung is said to be\u00a0planning the launch of a tri-fold smartphone. In March 2023, a tipster claimed that Samsung was not planning to unveil the Galaxy S23 FE \u2014 that phone was eventually launched in October 2023 \u2014 and would instead introduce a smartphone with a triple folding display. This smartphone could eventually make its debut in 2025.<\/p>\n

Samsung has previously shown off prototypes of two smartphones dubbed Flex G and Flex S<\/a>, with different folding mechanisms. While these designs are yet to make their way to consumers, they resemble the Mate XT Ultimate from Huawei, as well as the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2<\/a> tri-fold smartphone concept that was unveiled in August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
