Samsung has teased and confirmed that its first tri-fold smartphone will launch this year, but we’ve yet to see an official launch date for the device. It seems we don’t have to wait much longer, as a new report from The Korea Herald suggests the next-generation foldable is set to debut at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2025 summit later this week. The summit will take place from October 31 to November 1 in Gyeongju, South Korea.
Samsung has yet to decide on a product name for its tri-fold. Rumors suggest it could be called Galaxy G Fold or Galaxy Z TriFold. The device will be extremely limited in availability, as Samsung reportedly plans to make only 50,000 to 200,000 units during the initial production phase.
And with a rumored $2,800 launch price, Samsung’s tri-fold would be $1,000 more than the Galaxy Z Fold7’s launch price. It will be available in a select few markets according to previous reports, with China, South Korea, the US and the UAE making the cut.
