The highly anticipated Galaxy tri-fold phone was conspicuously absent from the recent Samsung Unpacked event. Speculation and leaks had hinted at a revolutionary device that would build on the success of the Galaxy Z Fold, incorporating a second hinge and a larger screen to rival competitors like the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate.
Despite expectations of a teaser announcement, Samsung remained silent on the tri-fold phone, leaving enthusiasts eager for more information. This secretive approach isn’t new for Samsung, as seen with past surprises like the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy S25 Edge, which were unveiled without prior notice, showcasing the company’s penchant for dramatic reveals.
The absence of the Galaxy tri-fold phone at Unpacked could be a strategic move by Samsung to focus attention on its latest offerings—the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE—currently available for pre-order. By delaying the tri-fold phone’s debut, Samsung may be aiming to avoid overshadowing its current lineup and potentially repeating past launch delays and underwhelming sales figures.
Looking ahead, industry watchers speculate that a future Unpacked event, possibly in October, could finally unveil the long-awaited Galaxy tri-fold phone. Until then, tech enthusiasts will have to content themselves with the latest Fold and Flip models, as well as the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 series. Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung continues to innovate and surprise consumers with its cutting-edge technology.
