Samsung appears to have ambitious plans for 2025, with reports indicating the release of four foldable devices, including the long-rumored tri-fold phone, which could be a game-changer in the foldable smartphone space. While foldables have made significant strides in design, durability, and usability, the market for these devices hasn't expanded as rapidly as expected.

However, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might lose its S Pen digitizer, resulting in a thinner device but requiring a separate, rechargeable stylus—a change that could split fan opinions.

Samsung's first tri-fold device is expected to be the highlight of its 2025 lineup. This innovative device will feature two hinges, allowing for a significantly larger display—potentially between 9.9 and 10 inches—bringing it closer to the size of a Galaxy Tab.

However, its bold design could delay its release compared to other foldables. Samsung is reportedly planning to produce around 200,000 units of the tri-fold device in 2025, indicating modest expectations. This cautious approach may stem from Huawei's launch of the Mate XT, the first tri-fold phone, in 2024.
Huawei's model, which debuted with a hefty price tag of CNY 19,999 (roughly Rs 2,37,000), is limited to China. In contrast, Samsung’s tri-fold phone is expected to have a global release, potentially setting the stage for broader adoption of this new form factor..
