Samsung just wrapped up its big Unpacked event, and while there were plenty of exciting announcements, one thing was notably missing – the much-anticipated tri-fold smartphone.
Rumors and leaks had suggested that Samsung would unveil its upcoming tri-fold smartphone at the event, which is expected to be an evolution of the Galaxy Z Fold with a second hinge and a larger screen to rival the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. However, the reveal did not happen as many had hoped.
There were speculations that Samsung might drop a teaser for the tri-fold device at the end of the keynote, as the company has a history of surprising users with last-minute announcements. Similar teasers were seen for devices like the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy S25 Edge in the past, catching many off guard.
The absence of the Galaxy G Fold at Unpacked suggests that Samsung may be saving the big reveal for a later event, possibly in October. This decision could be to avoid overshadowing the pre-order launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which cater to a different segment of consumers.
It’s also possible that Samsung is taking a more cautious approach after the delayed launch and underwhelming sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge. By holding off on the tri-fold announcement, Samsung may be aiming for a more strategic and successful rollout of the new device.
For now, fans will have to content themselves with the new Fold and Flip models, as well as the Galaxy Watch 8 series. The anticipation for the Galaxy tri-fold continues to build, and it looks like we may have to wait a little longer for the official unveiling. Stay tuned for more updates on Samsung’s latest innovations.
