Throughout last year, we reported on leaks and rumors about the possibilities Samsung triple foldable phone. We first heard that it was in a race with Huawei to be the first to release a tri-fold phone, but the Chinese tech brand’s inventive phone is already here, and the latest details suggest we might not see it for a while.
According to a supply chain consultant and social media tipster Ross YoungSamsung’s up-to-date form factor is likely to arrive in early 2026, which admittedly is a bit disappointing given all the hype surrounding the device. Still, when it finally arrives, we expect the Samsung tri-fold to jump onto our list of the best foldable phones, much like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Fold 5 did in recent years, provided it has enough performance power to run the best Android games.
Unfortunately, since Young’s comments are part of a discussion with fellow user X, we don’t have much to say beyond that or why we won’t be getting the foldable phone as early as originally expected. It’s also possible that it could arrive in 2025, as while Young is one of the more reputable industry sources, we’ve also seen plenty of other tipsters continue to suggest that the tri-fold model will be planned for next year. It’s just a waiting game at this point.
It is also worth noting that Samsung may suffer if it refrains from introducing a triple-folding device to the market. We have heard in recent months suggestions that Honor is also planning to try this form, which will provide even more competition. Samsung probably still has the advantage of being the market leader in foldable devices outside of China, but we’re pretty sure it won’t want to be delayed to the market.
Of course, we will keep an eye on any future updates regarding Samsung’s plans for the tri-fold device and will be sure to report on any relevant issues. But if you need a up-to-date phone right away, we’ve got you covered with guides to the best flip phones and the best Android phones, including plenty of options to suit all needs and budgets.
