in.mashable.com

Samsung's tri-fold smartphone, initially set for a 2025 release, is now delayed to early 2026 due to unforeseen setbacks. This timing coincides with Apple's entry into the foldable market, increasing competition. The new tri-fold design is expected to feature two inward folds for better screen protection, addressing durability concerns seen in Huawei's recently released tri-fold phone. Samsung aims to offer a larger display of 9-10 inches. In addition to the tri-fold, Samsung plans to launch a budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip 7 and its flagship Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. The company continues to lead in the foldable market despite rising competition from brands like Xiaomi and Honor.
