(Image source: Huawei)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung has not officially confirmed that it is working on a new type of foldable yet. Nonetheless, rumours have been flying around in recent weeks about the company&#8217;s plans to challenge theHuawei Mate XTwith its own version. Now, Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC)has offered insightsinto the state of Samsung&#8217;s first &#8216;tri-fold&#8217; smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, it appears that the company&#8217;s foray into a new foldable form factor will not be ready in time for its 2025 hardware refresh. For reference, successors to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746263-EB-BF741ABE\">Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a>andGalaxy Z Fold6are anticipated, as well as the so-called Galaxy Z Flip6 FE. Incidentally, Young has also disclosed new information about a new Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition too, details of which we have covered separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746262-EB-BF742ABE\">EB-BF742ABE Battery for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Samsung&#8217;s first-generation tri-fold will not be with us next year, Young expects it to arrive in &#8216;early 2026&#8217;. As it stands, the company is believed to have adopted the form factor that Samsung Display showcased a few years ago with theFlex Grather than theFlex Swraparound alternative that Huawei offers with theMate XT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/c\/5\/csm_samsung-tri-fold-rumours-bottom-image_92c562ed63.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung's first tri-fold may look like the Flex G on the right.
