Introduction to Samsung’s Latest Innovation

Samsung is poised to launch its inaugural multi-folding smartphone by the end of this week at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2025 summit.

Initial Expectations and Recent Developments

Initially, the expectation was that Samsung would unveil its Galaxy Tri-Fold at the July Unpacked event this year. However, this did not come to fruition. Following the event, during the Q2 2025 earnings call in late July, Samsung officially announced the launch of the Galaxy Tri-Fold by the end of this year, though the exact date was not disclosed.

Launch Timeline and Venue

A recent report suggested that the Galaxy Tri-Fold could be launched during the APEC 2025 summit, scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 1. This was further corroborated by a report from the Korea Herald, which indicated that the launch timeline for the tri-folding phone aligns with the APEC summit on October 31. The APEC 2025 summit is set to occur in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.

Production and Pricing

Currently, the Galaxy Tri-Fold is in mass production and is expected to go on sale by the end of this year. The anticipated price is around $2,800, which represents a markup of nearly $1,000 over the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Market Availability

Samsung plans to launch the device in selected markets, including Korea, Greater Chinese markets (such as Singapore and Taiwan), and possibly the UAE. However, there is no indication that the device will be available in the US market.

Conclusion

The upcoming launch of the Galaxy Tri-Fold at the APEC 2025 summit marks a significant milestone for Samsung. As the company prepares to unveil its latest innovation, consumers can look forward to experiencing the cutting-edge technology of the multi-folding smartphone.
