TL;DR
- Samsung’s first triple-screen foldable phone won’t launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, according to a leaker.
- Instead, the leaker says the new device will launch at a “later point in time.”
Samsung is tipped to be working on a triple-screen foldable phone, and a recent report suggested that we could see the phone launching alongside other Galaxy foldables. Now, a long-time leaker has suggested otherwise.
Tipster Max Jambor has claimed on Twitter that Samsung’s triple-screen foldable phone won’t launch at the same time as the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Instead, Jambor says that the new device will be revealed at “a later point in time.”
Samsung typically launches its new Fold and Flip devices at an Unpacked event in July each year. So the leaker’s claim of a deferred launch suggests that we might have to wait at least six months to see the triple-screen device. If Jambor’s assertion is true, then I wouldn’t be surprised if the device only debuts in September or October. The company usually launches its FE phones and flagship tablets during these months, so it’s not a stretch to assume that a triple-screen foldable would join the party.
In any event, previous leaks point to the new Samsung foldable offering two in-folding hinges. By contrast, the HUAWEI Mate XT offers one in-folding hinge and one out-folding hinge, giving it a Z shape. The Galaxy device is also said to have a 6.49-inch cover screen and a 9.96-inch folding display.
