Samsung Weighs U.S. Debut for First Tri‑Fold Phone This Year

Company leaders reaffirm a 2025 release, with market selection and pricing still undecided.

Overview

  • A person familiar with Samsung’s plans told CNN the United States is under consideration for the launch of the dual‑hinge, three‑panel device.
  • If sold stateside, it would be the first tri‑fold phone officially available in the U.S., as Huawei’s models are not sold there.
  • Samsung executive Minseok Kang said the 2025 timeline remains on track, while the company declined to specify markets or a launch date.
  • South Korean outlets report the unveiling may slip to late October or early November after earlier chatter about a late‑September event.
  • Local reporting and leaks point to a limited run and an estimated price near $3,000 for the radical form factor, which Samsung has previewed through Flex G/Flex S concepts and recent UI animations.
