South Korean media outlet etnews previously reported that Samsung’s first 3-fold foldable smartphone is set to be released in late September 2025, but a recent update suggests that Samsung may delay the launch to October 2025 and could go on sale in November 2025.
Despite the slight delay, Samsung’s first 3-fold foldable smartphone is still rumored to arrive in 2025. The 3-fold foldable screen is designed to fold inwards to protect the foldable screen when not in use.
Therefore, Samsung’s first 3-fold foldable smartphone is likely to have a different design from the HUAWEI Mate XT ULTIMATE DESIGN model, which only has the foldable screen on the outside after folding. Samsung plans to produce only 50,000 units when it is first launched, according to the same source.
The reason Samsung delayed the release of its first 3-inch foldable smartphone could be because the company saw that the Galaxy Z Fold7 was receiving a lot of support and selling in large numbers, so it didn’t want to announce a new, more special series.
