Samsung leads the foldable device market through its Z Fold and Z Flip product lines. The company announced during recent earnings discussions that both a tri-fold smartphone and an extended reality headset will arrive before 2025 concludes. These releases represent a significant advancement in mobile technology and immersive experiences. Samsung plans to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities across its Galaxy device ecosystem. The tri-fold device will feature dual hinges that fold inward to protect the display when closed.
This design approach differs from Huawei's Mate X ultimate model, which folds outward and provides less screen protection. Samsung targets an October release window for the tri-fold smartphone, potentially becoming the first major global manufacturer to deliver this technology. Apple's initial foldable iPhone remains scheduled for late 2026, giving Samsung a competitive advantage. The XR headset will launch with Android XR platform technology developed through a Google partnership, marking Samsung's entry into extended reality markets with a more aggressive innovation strategy.
