Rumoured Galaxy Tri-Fold Phone was a No-Show at Samsung Unpacked

Following the conclusion of Samsung’s highly anticipated Unpacked event, the tech giant left many enthusiasts surprised by not making the expected announcement.

Rumors and leaks had hinted at the unveiling of Samsung’s upcoming tri-fold smartphone at the grand New York launch. This device, anticipated to be an evolution of the Galaxy Z Fold, was rumored to feature a second hinge and a significantly larger screen, potentially rivaling the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate.

While a full unveiling of the device was not expected, speculations suggested that a ‘one more thing’ teaser at the end of the keynote was a possibility. Leaked information hinted at a potential announcement in July with a full release slated for October.

It was anticipated that Samsung might follow its tradition of teasing new devices at the end of keynotes, similar to the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy S25 Edge announcements. Surprisingly, these devices were not disclosed in advance, with the smart ring even managing to stay under wraps.

With the absence of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at Unpacked, the anticipation for the Galaxy G Fold continues to build up.

Samsung’s decision to focus on the new foldable devices available for pre-order, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, suggests a strategic move to cater to different consumer preferences.

Learning from past experiences, particularly the delayed launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge alongside disappointing sales, Samsung might be taking a cautious approach before unveiling the Galaxy tri-fold.

Enthusiasts may have to wait until a potential Unpacked event later in 2025, possibly in October, to catch a glimpse of the much-anticipated Galaxy G Fold. For now, the new Fold and Flip models, along with the Galaxy Watch 8 series, offer exciting options for Samsung fans.
