Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone to be even more limited than previously suggested | Infinium-tech
Last week we heard that Samsung is working on its own tri-fold smartphone to take on Huawei’s Mate XT. Samsung was then said to launch the device in the second half of this year, with less than 300,000 units available due to very complex manufacturing processes.
Today a new report from Korea lowers that number even further. Apparently, only about 200,000 units will be made. Production of parts for the device will begin in the second quarter (April to June).
Reportedly, Samsung has now shared its plans with “major component manufacturers.” The Samsung tri-fold device currently has a screen size of less than 10″ when fully opened, but keep in mind that the same report also tells us that the design has not been finalized yet.
Interestingly, the report also claims that the Galaxy Z Fold SE has sold less than 100,000 units so far. Samsung is also rumored to be developing a Galaxy Z Flip FE for this year. Samsung is expected to sell about 7 million foldable devices this year, of which 3 million will be Flip7 units, 2 million Fold7 units, 900,000 Flip FE units and the aforementioned 200,000 tri-fold units.
