Samsung aims to have the world’s first triple-fold device
A recent rumor suggests Samsung will soon launch the world’s first triple-fold smartphone, aiming to beat Chinese rival Huawei to the punch.
To offer a bit of backstory, this past November notable industry insider Ross Young on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) claimed Huawei was working on a tri-foldable phone. It was supposed to launch in late 2023, but for whatever reason (presumably development issues), it got pushed back to this year. Now we have another insider, known as Revegnus on X, stating that not only is Huawei’s device coming out in Q2 2024, but that Samsung will release its hardware at an earlier date.
What’s kind of crazy is that the second quarter of any given year begins on April 1. This means Samsung has about a month and a half at the time of this writing to launch its triple fold phone or it’ll miss its self-imposed deadline. Revegnus goes on to say that “from Samsung’s perspective”, it can’t afford to miss out on earning the title of “world’s first”.
