Huawei’s Mate XT gathered ample hype with its tri-fold display, and it is definitely a head-turner among the current generation of smartphones. Samsung does not want to be left behind in the race, especially when it owns its own display division that provides the world with custom panels. Well, Samsung’s tri-fold display does not have an estimated release date yet but a report suggests that it will be released by the end of this year, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
Report suggests Samsung will launch its first tri-fold Galaxy and the budget Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE by the end of the year
Samsung is planning to introduce its highest-end foldable alongside its most budget foldable to show the world how it’s done. Since competition has already emerged from China, the company would have to do its very best to take back the crown from Huawei. The company also plans to make foldables a mainstream product, and it will start with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
According to a new report from The Bell, Samsung’s tri-fold Galaxy and the Galaxy Z Flip FE are slated to be released in the last quarter of this year. This is a bit later than expected, as the company’s displays for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 have entered production for the July or August launch. It appears that the company is opting to choose a different launch timeframe for the tri-fold Galaxy and the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Samsung’s tri-fold foldable will possibly be called the ‘Galaxy G Fold’, and it was previously reported that the device will not be released until “months” after the launch of the Galaxy Flip 7. Well, we now have a tentative timeline for the tri-fold Galaxy, and Samsung will probably double down on the features offered by the Huawei Mate XT, as it will be its main competitor. Note that the current launch timeframe could also switch, as the release date has been constantly shifting.
It is good to see that Samsung is offering novelty among its foldable devices, while companies like Apple are taking their sweet time to perfect every aspect of the device before launching it. We can safely presume that Apple is more than five years late to the foldable game, and it has been criticized for lacking innovation in terms of design. The future of large smartphones is a foldable display, and the earlier companies can embark on the new technology, the better.
We will keep you guys posted with the latest details on Samsung’s tri-fold handset and the upcoming budget Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, so do stick around. Do you think Samsung will be able to offer a sub-$1,000 price tag for the foldable FE?
