Samsung is on the verge of entering the folding space again and the brand may unveil its tri-foldable phone later this year. Reports this week suggest that the company is likely to enter the space in the second half of 2025, which seems feasible for the brand. Samsung has its own display units that make all kinds of screens, and developing a triple design will likely be its biggest challenge yet. There aren't many details on the rumored triple device yet, but the same report states that Samsung will opt for a different delivery mechanism than the Huawei Mate XT recently announced in China. The Mate XT has three outward-folding screens that, when closed, expose the display, increasing the risk of damage. According to Android Police, Samsung's alleged design uses a "folding mechanism" with two internal folds to protect the display when closed and address durability issues.

Samsung does not expect high sales of the product and therefore may limit production to around 300,000 units, which could limit availability in high-end markets in the early stages of development. The new report is interesting to see as it was previously said that the company may delay the launch of its triple-core device until 2026. Rumors even suggest that the release will coincide with Apple's entry into the foldable phone market, which is expected around the same time. The market for Samsung foldable devices appears to be stagnant, at least on the surface, so we're excited to see what Samsung plans to do in this area. There are other strong competitors in the foldable space today, which is why it is very important for brands to continue innovating in this space and bringing new form factors to market.
