Samsung's possible introduction of a tri-fold smartphone could happen in the US; here's a roundup of the current information available
The tech world is abuzz with rumours about Samsung's latest innovation, the Galaxy G Fold. The South Korean giant is reportedly debating whether to introduce a tri-foldable phone, tentatively named the Galaxy G Fold, in the U.S. stock market today.
If the Galaxy G Fold is released, it would be the first phone of its kind in the U.S. market. The decision on whether to release the G Fold in the U.S. and other markets is currently under consideration.
The Galaxy G Fold is expected to be launched by the end of the year, but details about its price and screen size are scarce. However, it is likely to be more expensive than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which costs around 2,099 euros, and the Huawei Mate XT, which is the equivalent of $2,800. The presumed selling price for the Galaxy G Fold is expected to be between 2,000 and 2,500 US dollars, positioning it as a luxury item rather than a mass-market product.
The Galaxy G Fold may utilize an inward-folding design, which could set it apart from its competitors. If launched in the U.S., it would fill a gap in the stock market today, but its success remains uncertain. There is a possibility that Samsung may limit the number of phones available for sale.
Users are encouraged to share their opinions on whether they would be willing to spend nearly $3,000 on a triple-folding phone. Tom's Guide suggests following them on Google News and adding them as a preferred source to stay updated on the latest news, analysis, and reviews.
Meanwhile, Samsung's One UI 8 Global rollout has begun, but there is a catch. The release of the Galaxy G Fold could potentially bring more upgrades to the table, as it has been suggested that it could have a 9.96-inch inner display and a 6.49-inch outer screen.
It's worth noting that Samsung has previously released phones exclusively in South Korea and China, such as the Galaxy Z Fold SE. In fact, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 eventually received upgrades that were initially only available on the Galaxy Z Fold SE, which was exclusive to South Korea and China.
The possibility exists that the Galaxy G Fold may remain exclusive to these two markets. However, with the Huawei Mate XT available in China but harder to obtain in other countries, there is an argument for expanding the release of the Galaxy G Fold.
Google Maps has received a much-needed upgrade courtesy of Android 16, while Google Pixel's new accessory has been released, and it is an improvement on what the iPhone 17's Crossbody Strap should have been.
The report comes from CNN Business, citing a person close to the company's plans. As we wait for more information about the Galaxy G Fold, stay tuned for updates from trusted sources like Tom's Guide.
