Samsung has long been rumored to be working on a new kind of foldable phone, and now the buzz is back about the possibility of a triple-foldable Galaxy smartphone. According to tipster Revegnus, Samsung may unveil a “triple fold” phone this year, possibly in response to competition from Huawei. The Chinese tech giant is rumored to be on the verge of releasing the world’s first triple-folding smartphone, which may have prompted Samsung to step up its game.

Even if Samsung falls behind Huawei in launching a tri-fold smartphone, the Korean tech giant could still have an advantage due to Huawei’s restrictions in the US and its inability to use Google apps. This means that Samsung might have an opportunity to introduce many customers to their first experience with a phone that folds in three parts.

Samsung has been actively exploring this new foldable form factor for years, with rumors, patents, and demos from its display arm surfacing over time. The promise of a triple-fold design lies in offering an expansive screen akin to having a tablet in your pocket. However, this innovation comes with challenges, particularly in terms of the device’s bulk. We’ll have to wait and see how Samsung addresses this issue.

Each summer typically sees new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models being unveiled by Samsung. Whether these will be joined by a new foldable device this year remains uncertain. Nevertheless, it’s possible that we might see more than two foldable devices from Samsung this year, with rumors suggesting that the company could be preparing for a more affordable Galaxy Fold model.

Stay tuned for updates as we gear up for what promises to be an exciting year for foldable smartphones!
