Overview

  • Samsung has officially postponed the Galaxy Z Flip FE and its first tri-fold device, the Galaxy G Fold, to Q4 2025, citing production delays and chipset supply constraints.
  • The Galaxy Z Flip FE, positioned as a budget-friendly foldable, is expected to use either the Exynos 2500 or the Exynos 2400e chipset, with the latter under consideration due to yield issues with the former.
  • The Galaxy G Fold, Samsung’s first tri-fold device, is anticipated to feature a 9.96-inch unfolded display and weigh approximately 298 grams, with preview activity potentially occurring in Q3 2025.
  • Originally slated to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in Q3 2025, both devices have been delayed to allow for further development and production adjustments.
  • Reports suggest the Galaxy G Fold may not see full availability until early 2026, as Samsung aims to refine its entry into the tri-fold segment amidst competition from Huawei.
