Tomorrow (Sept. 4), Huawei will introduce the Mate XTs in China as its second tri-foldable phone. The device is expected to bring incremental upgrades over its predecessor, including features such as stylus support and satellite connectivity. Meanwhile, Samsung is also preparing to step into the tri-foldable segment. A fresh report from ET News indicates that the company may not wait until the end of the year for its debut. According to the Korean publication, Samsung could unveil its first tri-folding smartphone at a special Unpacked event in October 2025, with sales starting the following month.
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: Limited production and availability
Samsung has reportedly finalized a conservative production figure of around 50,000 units for the Galaxy Z TriFold. The limited run will allow the brand to assess market response to the fresh design and mitigate risks if early issues appear.
Another reason is to avoid eating into the sales momentum of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which launched in July and has been performing well. For now, the tri-fold is expected to be sold only in South Korea and China.
The Galaxy Z TriFold is said to feature a 9.96-inch tri-folding display supported by two inward-folding hinges, along with a 6.49-inch cover display. This setup is considered more durable than Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate, where part of the screen folds outward.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the device is tipped to support wireless charging, reverse wireless charging and NFC connectivity. While details on the processor, camera setup, RAM, storage and battery capacity remain unclear, reports highlight that Samsung has already started mass production. The tri-fold form factor will be a first-generation trial for the company, shaping its future foldable strategy depending on consumer adoption.
