Samsung plans to beat Huawei with its tri-folding phone next year

Samsung may introduce its tri-folding smartphone by 2025, according to a new report. South Korean tech giant has necessary technology in place, and its supply chain seems rey for this next vancement in Samsung's foldable lineup, which could rival Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate, claimed as first tri-folding phone in world. However, final go-ahe has not yet been given by TM Roh, he of Samsung's Mobile eXperience (MX) division.

tri-folding device from Samsung could allow next big thing in foldable device industry to reach more users since Huawei’s phone is available only in China due to sanctions on company. Samsung’s take on tri-folding technology is still under wraps, but it will not be a major departure from Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. That means Samsung’s tri-folding phone will have a horizontally long screen that will fold twice.

patents that Samsung h previously filed reveal new hinge mechanisms for more flexibility in device, while enhanced sensor integration will allow device to detect changes in its shape to optimise interface. Samsung may use new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip on device, which could allow 40 per cent improvements in GPU performance and enhance ray tracing by 35 per cent compared to existing Galaxy Z Fold 6’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

According to report, Samsung has decreased orders for foldable OLED panels by over 10 per cent, owing to a slowed demand for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which bring fewer upgres over ir previous generations. Samsung Display will ship about 12 million panels in 2024, which is 40 per cent less than last year’s 20 million shipments. se shipments are for Samsung’s own devices, as well as foldable phones from Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo. slump in sales of Samsung’s foldable devices could be a reason why company is planning to shift to a new technology.
