the Galaxy XR headset was introduced a few days ago, and Samsung intends to unveil another premium mobile product this year: its inaugural trifold foldable smartphone. The device has been circulating in rumors and leaks throughout this year, with various reports identifying it as the Galaxy G Fold or Galaxy G Fold 7. The most recent update regarding the Samsung trifold comes from the trustworthy leaker Evan Blass (via Android Police), who mentions that the initial Samsung trifold may not debut in the U.S. Instead, Samsung could restrict sales of the phone to select Asian markets, such as South Korea, China, Singapore, and the U.A.E.
Blass consistently delivers precise information regarding unannounced devices, including those from Samsung. It remains ambiguous what data he is using for his forecast, as he provides no corroborating evidence. Blass only indicates that it appears improbable for the first trifold foldable to debut in the U.S. and expresses his desire to be mistaken about this launch aspect. There is a precedent for a restricted release. Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition towards the end of last year. Its initial ultra-slim foldable phone was launched solely in Korea and China. However, Samsung utilized that design to develop the Galaxy Z Fold 7 model, which received a global launch this summer. It would not be unexpected for the Galaxy G Fold to adhere to a similar pattern.
