Samsung Tri-folding Phone

Samsung Delays First Tri-Fold Smartphone, Trails Huawei’s Mate XT

While Huawei’s Mate XT has already made waves, Samsung appears to be taking a slower approach to launching its first tri-fold smartphone.

According to Ross Young, a renowned display analyst, Samsung’s tri-fold device won’t be ready for its 2025 lineup, with its debut now expected in early 2026.

What to Expect

Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone will likely feature the Flex G design showcased by Samsung Display, focusing on a more compact inward-folding mechanism. This contrasts with Huawei’s Flex S wraparound design used in the Mate XT.

2025 Lineup Plans

For 2025, Samsung is expected to release updates to its Galaxy Z Flip and Fold series, including:

  • Galaxy Z Flip6
  • Galaxy Z Fold6
  • Galaxy Z Flip6 FE
    Additionally, a Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition may also join the lineup.

Huawei Leads the Way

Huawei’s Mate XT has set the standard for tri-fold smartphones, leaving Samsung to play catch-up. However, the delay suggests Samsung is prioritizing refinement and reliability over rushing to market.

Stay tuned for updates as Samsung prepares to redefine foldable technology in the coming years.
