Later this month, at the Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, Samsung Electronics is set to present its first dual - hinge triple - folding smartphone to global leaders and dignitaries. This innovative device is anticipated to be showcased in an elegant glass display case. It's rumored that the phone might bear the name Galaxy Z TriFold, and a full - scale market launch is expected later this year.

Since Samsung took the lead in pioneering the foldable smartphone market back in 2019, the competition in this sector has become increasingly fierce. Samsung's seventh - generation vertically foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, has garnered positive feedback from consumers. Meanwhile, Apple is also gearing up to introduce its first foldable iPhone next year.

Previously, Roh Tae - moon, the President of Samsung's Mobile Division, disclosed that the development of the first triple - folding phone has reached its final stages, with a scheduled release by the end of 2025.
