At CES 2025, Samsung showed off two potential designs for a tri-fold Galaxy phone. At a show that otherwise felt pretty cautious and predictable, this was one of the more notable pieces of news – even though it wasn’t even an actual product announcement.

The availability of Samsung's first tri-fold handset will be quite limited, it seems. The phone will also get a very high price tag.

Samsung has demonstrated its triple-fold smartphone prototype, which may see the light of day by 2025. However, due to high costs and poor production, the Samsung tri-fold may not be as successful as it appears.

Samsung plans to bet more on innovation in the coming years. The company had disappointing financial results in 2024, and standing out in the tech industry with attractive developments is part of its strategy to try to turn the situation around.
