Samsung Weighs U.S. Launch for Tri‑Fold Phone as 2025 Debut Nears

The device is expected to be a premium, limited offering.

Overview

  • Samsung is considering including the United States in initial launch markets for its tri‑fold phone, though availability decisions remain unsettled, according to CNN.
  • Samsung executive Minseok Kang says the plan to release the tri‑fold by the end of 2025 is still on track.
  • The phone is designed to fold on two hinges into three display sections, with recent Samsung software animations reinforcing the tri‑fold form factor.
  • Korean outlet reports point to a late‑September launch event in South Korea that could feature the phone and other devices, but Samsung has not confirmed such an event.
  • Executives frame the tri‑fold as a high‑end, niche flagship built on momentum from rising Z Flip and Z Fold preorders, with Huawei already selling tri‑folds in markets outside the U.S.
