Samsung Tipped to Debut Galaxy Z TriFold on Sept. 29 With XR Headset in South Korea

Apple has raised shipment targets for a 2026 foldable iPhone, signaling growing confidence.

Overview

  • Leaker Ice Universe and multiple outlets report a late‑September Unpacked in South Korea featuring the Galaxy Z TriFold, the Project Moohan XR headset, and AI glasses.
  • ET News says Samsung plans an initial run of about 50,000 TriFold units with sales expected to start around November and early availability likely limited to South Korea and China.
  • Pricing leaks point to roughly $2,900–$3,000, with reports of a dual‑hinge inward‑folding design, an approximately 10‑inch main display, a 6.4–6.5‑inch cover screen, and support for wireless and reverse wireless charging plus NFC.
  • The conservative rollout is described as a way to gauge demand and avoid cannibalizing the well‑selling Galaxy Z Fold 7, according to Korean reporting summarized by several publications.
  • Ming‑Chi Kuo reiterates that Apple’s 2026 foldable iPhone will likely use a side‑mounted Touch ID sensor supplied by Luxshare, with shipment forecasts lifted to about 8–10 million units in 2026 and 20–25 million in 2027.
