Samsung is steadily moving forward with its tri-fold, which will be radically different from Huawei’s device.

He Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design started a new phase in the mobile device market, becoming the first triple foldable device to fall into the hands of consumers, and Samsung The company is constantly working on releasing its own model in this form factor.

According to a new report from a South Korean portal ET NewsSamsung’s first triple foldable phone is progressing at a good pace, aiming for a 2025 launch. The first signs of the company’s plan to enter this segment were already published in October, but now details of its proposed design have become known.

The above-mentioned media claims that the arrival of Samsung’s triple foldable phone will radically different from a Huawei device. The Chinese brand chose two hinges that fold in opposite directions: one inward and one outward. This allows you to use the device in three different modes: like a regular phone when fully closed, like a standard foldable phone when only part of the screen is unfolded, or like a 10.2-inch tablet when fully opened.

While Samsung’s strategy will be similar in some aspects, its execution will be very different. This is because the manufacturer I would prefer to use two loops that fold inward.in a technique known as folding. As we always say, this is unofficial information and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Samsung’s first triple folding phone will arrive in 2025

Which ET News It is mentioned that Samsung has already included tri-folding in its launch plan for next year. In addition, he emphasizes that the final design of the launch model will be completed before the end of November this month.

Rumors suggest that the device will have a 9 to 10-inch screen when fully open, and can be used like a regular smartphone when closed. What’s unclear is whether the device will offer the ability to use at an intermediate pointas happens with the Huawei Mate XT when only one of its sides is open, or when it can only be used in two formats: folded or fully unfolded.

Doubt arises precisely because of the supposed design with two hinges folding inward. It is said that Samsung would choose this format to achieve higher level of durability which Huawei has achieved thanks to the triple folding, which is quite fragile.

At CES 2022, Samsung Display introduced two tri-fold concepts. One of them was Flex Swhich had a folding mechanism identical to the one Huawei used in the Mate XT. That is, with one loop that closes inward and the other outward. The other one was Flex Gdivided into three sections that could be “stacked” by pivoting inwards. It is assumed that the company I’ll accept the latter on your next smartphone, although there is no official one yet.

If Samsung does decide to go this route, there are already speculations that triple folding could have two screens. One will be on the outside and will be solely for use when completely closed. The other will be inside and will only be accessible once fully deployed. This would be a very important change from the Mate XT Ultimate Design, which uses a single screen in all modes. We’ll have to wait to see if this is confirmed or not.
