- A new report indicates limited availability for the Samsung Tri-Fold
- We could wait in November before it was put up for sale
- Even then, you might find it difficult to find it outside of South Korea and China
All the indications are that Samsung plans to unveil its first smartphone three times during an event on Monday September 29 – but if we believe a new report, we will wait a certain time before it is on sale.
The report comes from the Korean South and the news and via @jukanlosreve), and although we count on Google Translate to understand all the details, the prediction here is that it will not be available to buy before November.
In addition, only 50,000 units are produced to start, Samsung apparently wishing to test the market to see what is the response to its new device – about 10 times this number of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 shipments is expected, for comparison.
This would make sense given a few other details that we have already heard on this foldable: it will cost a significant sum of money (maybe up to $ 3,500 / £ 2,610 £ / 5,375 in), and that it can only be available in South Korea and in China, at least to start.
A limited version
Without a doubt, fans of Samsung outside of South Korea and China would be disappointed not to have the chance to buy this phone, but we have already seen this strategy of the company, more recently with the special edition Galaxy Z Fold launched in October 2024.
The latest report and news does not mention international availability, so we will have to wait and see – but 50,000 units will not go far. The article says that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 sells well, and Samsung does not want to risk affecting too much with a new device.
For the moment, there is simply not enough data on the market to find out how popular the samsung tri-fold will be. The only phone tripled on the market is the Huawei Mate XT – which is also very expensive and also difficult to obtain in most markets around the world.
All eyes will be on Samsung on September 29, then – if it is indeed the launch date of the tripolization, which was teased for the first time in January. Before that, we expect to see the Galaxy S25 Fe and the Galaxy Tab S11 series on September 4.
