A new report from South Korea backs up previous claims about the upcoming Galaxy tri-fold. According to The Elec, which cited major parts suppliers and other sources, Samsung plans to produce around 200,000 units for its release later this year. For what itโs worth, another Korean outlet, Sisajournal, has confirmed that Samsung may manufacture fewer than 300,000 units of the Galaxy tri-fold in total.
Galaxy tri-fold will be coming in 2025, and a new report corroborates modest production numbers
Sisajournalโs report aligns with The Elecโs findings on the Galaxy tri-fold production numbers. The former suggests that Samsung could produce fewer than 300,000 units, while The Elec estimates around 200,000 units. If thereโs one takeaway from these reports, itโs that Samsung is opting for a modest production run for the Galaxy tri-fold. You might be wondering, Whatโs the big deal with 200,000 units? Well, let me paint the picture for you.
According to the report, Samsung is placing a bigger bet on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, even though both are expected to bring a few major upgrades. The more significant enhancements may be saved for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 series. That said, despite scaling back foldable shipments after a rough year, Samsung still plans to ship around 3 million units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and over 2 million units of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Additionally, the company could ship more than 900,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip FE.
The report also suggests that the upcoming Galaxy tri-fold could be similar to Samsung Displayโs Flex G. When unfolded, it may feature a 10-inch display, just slightly smaller than the 10.2-inch screen on the Huawei Mate XT. However, given the latter isnโt internationally available, guess whoโs going to have an edge? Of course, time will tell better.
